I understand what you want, and it should be easy enough to get done. Besides,
it will give us an excuse to eat sushi. :-) Back before wasabi existed, john
hardman and I explored some promotion ideas for netbsd. Somewhere in my
project files are a some ideas for netbsd bumper-stickers, cd covers,
etc... which may or may not interest you.

I have set up my G3 mac again because that's where all the cool fonts live. If
someone else can do it faster, that's fine, but I can get it done by some time
next week. If your motivation starts to flag, I do have a pair of steel-toed
boots that can be applied to that problem. ( don't worry everyone, I'm only
overtly hostile to my good friends)
