I tried to bring it up in the meeting today but I don’t think it was addressed. Cyphermarket is run by Rehrar from the Monero community and they sell t-shirts and other basic stuff, but the key is they donate 50% to the associated projects. A simple green Bisq logo on a white tee could honestly sell quite nicely - and while Bisq.shop exists, there’s nothing wrong with potentially expanding the sales.
Btw; if you’re good at graphics design you can create and submit one yourself here, the only reason I’m asking here directly is so maybe someone from the team can get the official logo up.
Anybody is free to create Bisq swag, so there is no need to give a half to the project, especially when the project is trying to be as decentralized as possible.
In future you might just want to buy BSQ tokens when you want to help the project and burn them by trading. For now you can just use that other half to donate to charity.
afaik, most of Bisq code is open-source and available in the github, including logos, etc.
Cyphermarket only lets the official logos be used if submitted by actual core project members or something

The operator of bisq.shop is a long term Bisq contributor and even it is completely decoupled from Bisq we fully support his efforts! Bisq is not interested to earn money from swags but is happy if people provide the infrastructure to make Bisq T-shirts etc. accessible.
Hello, I’m rehrar, owner of Cypher Market. Since you guys seemed adamant about not needing the money, I went ahead and used the bit of profits from the Bisq merch that was sold to pad out the donation to another FOSS project: Veracrypt, who we also support and needs a bit of extra love these days.
We thank you for your desire to bless other projects.
If at any point, you would like the donations, please let me know.
