[(3rd world kid's design + your blank tshirt) x love from Bono... to shamelessly promote the launch of his latest album or tour!] - 'goes to charity' = company profit + corporate moral victory

seems like we are losing focus here.
none of you guys are close, well maybe one was remotely close, but who told you about Bono?
keep them guesses coming..

you make a design (t shirt, mug, poster, whatever), pass it on to someone else, they make a design and then pass it on to someone else...
...haven't figured out where the 3rd world kid or bono fit in though

I tell you what, for every person who has responded so far:
If you guys can push us to 50+ diggs today, a nifty +designgive present awaits you.

I'm just busting your satchel.
The logo isn't bad but it looks really really familiar to me. I'm thinking I've seen it before...but maybe it could just be that I've seen a ton of logos with a + in them...who knows.
My guess, and hope, is that it has something to do with using our skills as designers to help out people less fortunate.
A lot of us use our skills to help these mega-huge-multi-nationals (or even sizable regionals) convince people to buy their products or use their services, etc. which, depending on your views, hurts this planet and the people on it.
So, in effect, we are using our talent to help degrade this planet....why not create something where we can use our talent for good.
I know my argument is a bit disconnected but just work with me here people...work with me.
So why not help people who could use our talent but normally can't afford us so we can help give a voice to their cause or whatever and we, in return, get a nice little paycheck from Moral, Inc. or Karma, Co.
Either way, if you're helping people out who need to be helped and you're not screwing over the people doing the helping then more power to you.
If that is the case then consider me first in line.

I'd say you are the warmest so far.
