Hrm. General impression: It got slightly worse despite I like that
red, but it's a different red than the one of the Swiss flag, which
makes it more complicated to print (additional color) and those two
reds bite each other IMHO.

Better, yes.

Despite I like the new red in generall, it's IMHO no good choice,
because it bites with the red from the Swiss flag.

Hrm. While it looks fine on yellow and ok on dark grey, it IMHO looks
not good on red. Can you make the whole text line under the mountains
white, not only the swirl? (At least for red one, but I'd also suggest
that for the dark gray shirts.)
Do you have an SVG of the participants t-shirt? (The one in the wiki
seems the video team's SVG.) Maybe it's easier to show what I think of
when implementing it.

Indeed.

Well, the suggestion came from you. :-)
But then, and with the different red, we either have the wrong red in
the flag or we have the correct red as additional color. I dislike
both options somehow, but fear that we won't be able to get around red
on different red as printing color. :-/

I'd really prefer "DebConf 13" instead of "Debian Conference 2013"
which is even wider than the sponsor logos, which IMHO looks quite
ugly, at least where there is no label on top of it.
There's a Debian Swirl on the front. I think that plus the syllable
"Deb" should suffice to be recognized as Debian.
Kind regards, Axel
