I wouldn't bother with the FIRST logo. FIRST is picky about how their (trademarked) brand is represented, so you shouldn't imply endorsement.

Incidentally, remember to check clearance versus both versions of the cRIO (cRIO-FRC and cRIO-FRCII). The RS-232 port positions are different.

Also, you might consider an RJ12 jack like the one on the Jaguar, where the connector is inserted perpendicularly to the PCB, if you want to avoid the cable pointing straight up (relative to the cRIO).

And definitely indicate the resistance of the terminator, either in the silkscreen or the copper.
