Please yourself. Personally, I think my suggestions rank quite highly 
when compared to ones supporting a terrorist organisation, and another 
one using a variation of a political/ideological slogan.

I simply cannot see why people would like to choose a t-shirt and/or 
logo design that would reflect badly on Northern Ireland, or make light 
of our (past|current|future) problems. Am I the only one here who feels 
some obligation to use the conference as an opportunity to shine a 
postive light on Northern Ireland for a change?
