There are no specific themes set for the cards, but you can make whatever holiday-specific cards you'd like. The more variety we have in the designs the better.

Hey this sounds pretty cool. Once I get some other projects finished I think I will try to participate. Let's get creative!

I get what you are saying with the "B" thing..but images from the episode and character names are also copywrighted. About 75% of this board's imagery could be considered copywright infringement. So maybe worrying about the B is a little moot. JMO.

Sorry it has taken a while to answer this post, After confering with CMK here is the response

The "B" is an actual logo, it can't be changed and still be the same... where as Imagery from episodes, characters etc can be considered in the area of public domain, that is why it is important to draw or alter the images to make them your own art.( It is one of the ways that publications like MAD magazine gets away with doing parodies) If you were to do a card using the un-altered promo shot or a screen cap, that is where there could be copyright violations. It is a very fine grey line I know, but it is the difference between doing an "homage" or tribute to a character ( or episode) and blatant plagiarizing.

I don't see a problem with using the Font , As long as you don't use the title "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or the word "Buffy" when using the Font.
