[talk-au] posters/banners

[Ashley Kyd]

Thought I'd jump in late with some more input.

I aligned the screen cap John posted, and created these posters based on
the Japanese one. I personally like the “Australia” included, it makes
it feel more like an Australian effort, rather than the mainly European
effort that seems to take a lot of the focus. :)

I also modified the OSM logo in a few, I'm not sure what kind of trade
mark/tarms of use there are associated with it though, so it may not be
appropriate for use. Just playing with some ideas.

Anyway, the SVG sources are available too if anyone wants to have a go.
