This year the SAS Global Forum group is sponsoring a t-shirt design contest to create the official garb of SAS Global Forum 2010. It sounds like a fun activity, but as a SAS employee I'm not eligible to participate (or more importantly, to win).
Still, I can't resist an attempt. If you like it, feel free to steal it and pass it off as your own. Or how about this? See if you can do better!

This would become my favorite t-shirt of all time. I'm sorry that I can't steal the design and win! Now I'm going to have to think of a design to post, too. Great job.
SAStacular!
Love it! You should put this on cafe press... I would totally buy it and rock it at the airport!
Great one, Chris... Before printing a lot of T-Shirts from it, I would take the 2010 off the first data set name, that way you can wear it the next 20 years - as I am sure not only GlobalForum 2010 will be fun, but the ones in the future as well...
Good Design I like that
you could add - "And I'm a PC!" lol - I love those commercials..
Chris,
I like this very much.
I know I quibble, but...
*Results exceed expectations* should be a *WARNING:*, not a *NOTE:*.
I'd rather see this as a WARNING: on my teeshirt because it has more impact.
Should *expectations* be set higher? Should its default be changed? I say Yes, as I've never encountered any SAS Global Forum attendee who was anything other than really pleased by what they learnt and the fun they had.
I wanted to submit one too. Simple black t-shirt with white or pink type in COURIER font that says simply
PROC love
LOVE IT! And on the back of the t-shirt, there will be a picture of ME w/ my name Awesome next to it...hahaha.
Chris,
In order to fend off those who suspect a syntax error, you might like to change
result = Learning + Fun; to
Results = Learning + Fun;
because the NOTE: (or I prefer WARNING:) message refers to Results, not result, that exceeds expectations!
It wouldn't be an effective t-shirt for SAS users if we couldn't find some way to improve upon it!
