With the right budget, all things are possible. I have a amateur radio 
connect to Diana Eng, so we can really go "out there" if you like.

Yes, I think the red and black is the way to go. We are establishing the 
NYCBUG brand so why change now. *(gritting teeth through marketing speak)

Meeting with the merch guys on Monday so any ideas are welcome.
Are there any additions of copy? Maybe the "The BSDs in Production." tag 
line along with  "NYCBSDCon 2014". Perhaps on the back wit the logos?
Please let me know what you think. I would like to have as solid as 
design as possible before I meet the guys Monday. Changes cost money.
