[games_access] T-shirt

[Reid Kimball]

I also think there is too much text. I wish we had a logo of some kind
that communicated accessible gaming. If we go with text, I think we
can get away with a minimal approach, simple "game NOT over" text on
the chest portion in big bold letters and "Game Accessiblity SIG" or a
statement, "Support Game Accessibility" on the back across the
shoulder blades.

It's always hard to read specific information like a website address
on moving targets (people walking). Hopefully, the shirt will provoke
people to stop those wearing it and ask what it's all about. Let's not
forget that people will be looking at their program guides everyday at
GDC to find interesting events to attend. If someone has seen us
wearing the "game NOT over" t-shirt, they are more likely to recognize
the words in a program guide and read more about it.
