This is not Olimex specific info but here it is just in case.

You want to include the board model/revision, copyright notice, your
company name, and possibly some contact info (e.g. a short URL).

All the 'funny' stuff will give a non professional impression of
somebody that just made his first board ;-)

I am not sure what the 'penalizing' is but did you considered panelizing
your order such that each 'board' actually include multiple boards that
you later cut yourself (remember to include silk screen or copper guides
that will help you to cut the board).
