Hello friends,

TextMate desperately needs some updated T-shirts, but behind every great T shirt is a great T shirt idea.  So, even if you have no artistic talent whatsoever, you can think up ideas for slogans and designs.  And even slogans that don't make it onto shirts could probably be useful for something.

Anyway, once some good ideas have been offered up, it will be possible to make some design mockups based on those.  I'm happy to spend a bit of time sometime doing some very basic designery stuff, though I'm hardly an expert, and other more qualified designers would of course be welcome to draw up shirts too.

But first let's see if as a group we can't come up with some killer slogans.

Anyone who contributes an idea/slogan, or a design, which ends up being printed on the shirts gets one free (says Allan; I'm a poor student and can't afford such things ;)

To start off, I was thinking it could be something along the lines of "check and mate".

Personally, I hate slogans unless they are totally awesome.

I have actually done shirts before, if you need someone to handle any of the formats or vector implementations or whatever.
Anything for a free shirt ;)

Here are some ideas:

Dark purple shirt, flat color version of the Logo on the front with the logo text in white.
I like things simple and colorful.
Anything except a white shirt!

If we have to have slogans:
