Hmm. In the UK and most of Europe, my understanding is the standard white on 
blue symbol of a wheelchair user is of an "Accessible" feature. E.g. an 
accessible toilet, or more accessible parking space. There's no stigma 
attached to this symbol in the UK to my mind. It's not flawless, but I think 
it's widely understood.

As for the T-shirts - I'm not overly worried personally, and to get 
something done fairly soon would be best in my oppinion. However, I still 
think there should be a pictorial element ideally. There may be dyslexic, 
learning disabled, and/or non-English speaking people you walk pass. 
Something in pictures would be more likely to grab more people's interest. 
(also, all fonts should be easy to read on accompanying text).
