Rust T-Shirt

Hi Derek! I'm sorry I didn't see your first email -- it ended up in my spam folder! >_<

I really appreciate your reaching out, and I'm afraid this is a trademark concern, particularly because it involves selling products with the Rust logo. :( Even though it affects good faith work like yours, protecting the trademark is something we have to do across the board.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, and I totally appreciate your intentions and efforts. You might be interested in some discussions around community design, which were kicked off here:

https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/should-rust-have-an-art-design-team/2075/19

There's a new #rust-design channel on irc.mozilla.org where people interested in community design are meeting. In general, the Rust team absolutely wants to encourage community design. But at the same time we have some constraints when it comes to trademark, particularly around the logo and certain uses of the "Rust" name. I'm hoping to help the team provide some guidance about these constraints on the web site.

Best,

Dave
