I am 100% on the same wavelength with Johnny here. I still proudly wear 
the t-shirts I got at Fosdem '14 and the C8-branded hoodie received a 
few months ago. The embroided logo looks perfectly fine on all of them, 
are recognizable from afar and well... it's an established and renowned 
logo for an established and renowned brand.
