No, thank YOU The logo for donors/pre-orderers isn't limited to anything, as long as it's doable/feasible, and you're able to provide suitable 2D image of it in the format that I'll announce soon (still figuring out which one will be hassle-free for me, and accessible to non-CNC people at the same time - anyway, you can count on some variant of vector graphic, for sure. SVG should be safe to declare as convertible to anything I'll decide on).

I'll happily discuss details of personalization with everyone individually, so everyone can, always, ask me if some crazy idea is OK or a no-go. Apart from the points above, the only remaining rule is that implementing idea can't require enormous work from my side to apply it to the cover. All flat surfaces are "safe" to request engraved things on them. Curved ones not so, as it would require adding 3th dimension to engraving it, aka quite a hassle to implement - unless you grab sources from gitorious, fork, and code it yourself for 100% fit, then it can even be covered in 3D magic runes

Summing it up, I will LOVE to personalize pieces for people that helped/are helping to make it happen. Just keep it sane

Quick questions...
So, when will we hear the warning bells: Donate now, pre-orders closing soon? A deadline would be helpful. [off-topic rant; seriously, it's a local-transport bureaucracy-related matter]"Soon" which stretches for a month or more, without any deadline, is nerve-wracking.[/off-topic rant]

2D is good. SVG is good. It will take a lot of time to design it, though. It's not like I should be doing this at my workplace. And it's not like I have any free time at homeplace... So, I should be starting now, already. Better early than late...
Putting all the relevant information into it, without violating any copyrights... That's complicated. And I am happy to hear that the kickstand is planned to be around-the-body (like N800?), so that it does not interrupt the logo-surface of backcover [yes, I am planning on logo that covers the whole back-cover of device. No words whatsoever, 'just picture'].

And it obviously should be in black-and-white. No colour, no grey. Right? Having a sample photograph of engraving-capability would be ... enlightening. Having a standard for logo-image, with ability to 'preview' logo 'overlayed' onto the surfaces would be good.

Off-topic. Sanity is relative... Subjective... Shortly, sanity has no strict mathematical definition or standard physical unit of measurement.

Thank you.
