I definitely want it clean and simple, too, though that doesn't necessarily imply the lack of a slogan/suchlike.
I made clean-and-simple (in my opinion) mockups of just the logo and "textmate", and the same with "text⇥mate". I actually think I'd prefer the latter after seeing it "in action". Just one character away from full simplicity, but adds a lot of spice.
The PSD (Adobe Photoshop) is at http://henrik.nyh.se/dump/TextMate%20shirt.psd (0.5 MB) if someone else wants to play. Used Calibri for the font (very close but not quite what's used on http://macromates.com/, it seems). The t-shirt graphic itself is from some "make your own t-shirt" site.
Looks great. I'd buy one. I dig the text in bold and the mate in normal. I don't like the version with the tab character. It looks a bit odd.
What would go on the back?
