Sorry to be a spoiler, but on the one which says: "Identity - it's in the Details": I'm not a linquist or champion speller, but shouldn't the word "Detail" be used without an 's' at the end when it is used as a noun?
PS: I personally like this one the best, but I don't want to appere ignerent tew others who spel beter then me (in case it wins and I buy a shirt)
"Detail" is also a reference back to CLPEX and "The Weekly Detail."

Perhaps it's a reference to the 3 levels of detail - Detail
s 1,2 and 3? That would make sense.

Either one suits me. The submitter originally had one phrase... "Identity is in the details." I took editorial liberty and split the phrase, and should have re-visited. But either way is technically correct. There is more than one "detail" necessary to establish identity... identity is in the details. And likewise, "detail" can be plural.
I like Steve E's comment that it also references the Detail. I could see changing it if it wins.
But so far, Dead People is in the lead! (or should we say "I print dead persons"??) ha ha.
