Hi friends,

Okay, here's what I've got so far:

Allan said he liked the idea reasonably well, but maybe we could find a better word than "snippet".  Feedback welcome.

Yeah, snippet doesn't sound too good there. Perhaps "code" would be better. Or even perhaps "mate"?

I'm sticking with my opinion that slogans are lame.

Please just let me have this:

It's simple, basic and awesome, just like textmate.

Slogans and shadows and stuff just feel very amateur.
Also, getting 3 colors to line up properly in a screenprint is difficult and expensive.
Sticking to 1 color will save you money. White ink on a dark shirt is also more expensive, but can look extremely good if done right. Always get samples first.
Avoid those iron-on digital print transfers and stuff like that. It never comes out good. It's very difficult to keep that sort of thing from looking extremely tacky. Screen printing is the way to go. Very crisp.

I've done this sort of thing before. Talk to a professional shop that does this stuff before you make any concrete design decisions.
