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".

"Text" on the front "Mate" on the back
Maybe a logo on the left sleeve.
I might even wear it, mainly because very few people would get it, and I wouldn't be labelled a sad geek (maybe I am a sad geek, but I don't need to advertise it).

Woooh! HTML is already way too uber-geek for "normal" people, boy! (by normal, I mean the 99% of the population not being computer-addict)
"BBetter" is funny, but funny for someone aware of what BBEdit is, and why TextMate has been compared to.
Xavier
“Can \emph{you} Mate all night long?” or simply “I Mate all night long”.
Well, of course, if a feature like SubEthaEdit collaboration engine was to be expected in TM 2.0 (wouldn't next iChat bring that kind of feature? That would be great!), we could find even worse. Something like “Mate in bunch.”, with several gears between the “Mate” and the “in bunch”. Is that grammatically correct?
Oh, you meant T-shirts people might actually wear?

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: [TextMate logo] Snip it!
[TextMate logo] Making UNiX dance since 2005
[TextMate logo] Infinity robot Ninjas at my command!
[TextMate logo] Yes, I am a Nerd

I like black shirts, but dark purple would be alright, probably.

Black would be a natch, but wee bit overused. And purple would reinforce the brand ;)

if we have to have purple, can black still be an option? purple makes me look fat.
seems to me that textmate is about minimalism (or at least utility), and slogans aren't very minimalist (or utilitarian for that matter).
maybe just "textmate" in small, white (or purple), lower case print across the chest?

Maybe just the purple gear, with the words circled around it. Or perhaps borrow this design, but with the gear in the middle:

I'm a little late to the party but I have to second this comment a thousand fold. The only thing more horrid than a white tee shirt is a white tee shirt that only comes in XXL. Mediums do get worn. :-)
Personally I'd love a black shirt with just the text mate logo on it.

How about one of those "evolution" series, with text editors? You could have "copy con" and "edlin" at the low end, some type of notepad app in the middle, then emacs just before TextMate. I'm not sure what other editors would fit.

I think it's an occupational hazard, at least if you can call a passion for elegant code an occupation :-). So far, my favorite is a slight alteration of an earlier suggestion
Mate for Life
My proposal:
1) Save the world, Use TextMate.
2) More than Text: a Mate.
3) Think Different, once more.
4) Text editing, at last. (I prefer "At last, text editing", but... does that matter? :-p)

What about using a Tab Trigger, in its frame with the tab sign in the end?
Problem is it should be a quite general snippet, but still effective (lorem isn't that great). Well, we could invent one, too. Something like

I think we're all losing track of how powerful TextMate really is, and how high the bar has really been raised by it. I'll settle for nothing less than a t-shirt that changes color depending on what & who surrounds me at a given moment (scope) and features a slogan that can be changed every time I think the word "Tab".

We have trouble with those little knobby things on the front of foreign shirts -- whatever they're called -- bunions or something.

I can't speak for all Americans, but for me, its two fold. First, they're comfortable. My wife likes seeing me in things with buttons but I can't fathom why anyone likes wearing that stuff. Second, a good t-shirt gives you a way to walk around shoving your opinion down everyone else's throat without actually having to expend any energy on communication. A TextMate shirt allows me to walk around saying "I use TextMate and if you don't you're a moron and I'm better than you".
As an american I get to be both obscenely opinionated and lazy at the same time. Tee-shirts ARE the american dream!

P.S. This really shouldn't be taken literally or be taken as a slam on the American world view. I love our way of life (and, truth be told, I can be pretty stinkin opinionated) but if you can't poke fun at yourself you're just too stuffy for your own good. :-)

Tim, I was on the fence with that one, but I was really worried that someone was going to peg me for a granola-eating, anti-American, Berkley based hippie and in the end, since I'm still really new to the list, I opted to cover my bases.
The next time I decide to write potentially inflammatory statements, I'll do it with impunity just for you.

I'm not too big on the Text ⇥ Mate thing... The app name is TextMate. Breaking the name up seems weird. Granted the tab triggers are a core part of the app, but I'm not sure it makes a good shirt.
My vote is still for the app icon & the name. Let it be as elegant as the app itself. The rest is starting to sound like tee-shirts college students wear on spring break ("My Bundle is bigger than yours...").

probably so... i guess the real question is what market is the tee going after? and are we really looking for a single design, or multiple ones? obviously textmate's user base is quite diverse, so a single design might not make much sense other than just the name/ logo, which it then becomes like any other promotional tee, and not necessarily something someone would wear regularly.
Then again, I'm often known to be completely wrong...

A tee-shirt doesn't go after a market. It goes on your torso.

Just the name/logo makes perfect sense.
Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!

But I still think the purple should be a part of it. If not the whole shirt, then at least part of the logo. I mean it will not be a textmate shirt if it doesn't have purple on it....
To bring up an example: How many people were freaked out on halloween when textmate started up and there was no purple in the dock? I know I was..

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.
The spice is there and it is beautifully clean and simple, with a touch of intrigue and cleverness. Nice, very nice!

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?

I think it'd probably look best with nothing printed on the back. Again, clean and simple.
Agree, although I still like just TextMate as opposed to Text ⇥ Mate. That said I could go for the logo & app name on the front and just a small simple:
⇥
on the back between the shoulder blades.
I guess this brings me up to $0.04.

That could be nice. Very understated for sure. "wittySlogan⇥" would be funny, but less clean and simple ;)
I was thinking about
text⇥
That looks a bit like a “text, but better” (without BB :P), just like C++ is C, but incremented.
Of course, it's a bit visually unbalanced. But still better in my mind than “textmate”, plain and simple.
I'd say : “textmate” pros : - the T-shirt has the product name on it, so every one has at least a slight idea of what it is about - visually balanced (I like the bold text/not bold mate)
“textmate” cons : - it probably won't trigger anything other people (even geeks). No surprise, no question, no nothing. Actually, I find it little boring.
“text⇥” pros : - shows a feature of our favorite editor - can catch the geek (well, isn't a vast majority of the mate users geeks?) attention and curiosity. Every single one must know about tab completion.
“text⇥” cons : - other people probably won't be attracted, and it doesn't contain the app name, thus making it hard to discover TM - visually unbalanced

Well, I wouldn't wear the first one, but it seems to be popular, so I'm afraid I'l have to wear something else. Still, for the color, I'd prefer a entirely purple one. While I'm at it, is it possible to get a drawing as complex as the TM icon on a T-shirt? At least, without making it awfully expensive? Perhaps we should mind the possibility of purple (not black) and white or at least avoid gradation.

A Purple shirt with a gear and pen would look quite nice.
The icon is purple with a white gear and black or white text (depending on the background). The pen is black and white
The icon could be converted to a 2 color vector object and have the third color come from the color of the shirt. It's more expensive to print on black shirts. It'd be possible to keep some gradation in the vector object with a halftone pattern. It might look better to do a flat sharp object instead of gradating it.
Does anyone have a vector version of the icon? Maybe the original photoshop file or anything? That'd make the conversion to a vector object a lot easier.
So we can do either: • Black shirt with purple and white • Purple shirt with white and black
So print in 1 color you'd have to do a purple shirt with white gear, pen & text. That could look really nice if the purple is dark enough.
Personally, I'd like both the black and purple shirts. But if I had to choose only one, I'd probly have to choose the purple one.

I have a 3-4 color version of the icon (from Wolfgang) which he did for the last shirts.
An alternative is to only use the cog, Jacob made this mockup which I like (the composition, the slogan is not my favorite ;) ): http:// pastie.textmate.org/paste/asset/65002/Picture_21.png
I also really like the tab trigger idea, and for slogans, the “beyond words” is my favorite.

I agree, of all the ones that have been kicked around, "beyond words" is by far my favorite.
BTW, I hope there will be a consideration of women-sized t-shirts as well as the generic unisex/guy ones. :)

How about the tab trigger idea on the front, below the gears, and "beyond words" on the back?
I second the request for some female shirts. Are there just two of us out here?

Er...you say "The general idea of the various 'designs' is that they should remain tasteful and professional looking, so that you can wear them anytime."
This is true for all the shirts except the ones for the ladies. (sigh). How about (radical idea here) the same design that you'd do for the guys (the rest of them are great), just sized for women? Without the tit jokes? Just a thought. :)

Linda, the rest of the T-shirts were classed as *Uni-sex* so they were meant for both sexes. As for sizes, well I've got nothing to do with that, so it's entirely up to those making them. (= Not me)

One version of the same without the 'tit jokes' coming right up! (Has also been added to the URL page)
Just to clarify for everyone, in order to remove any misunderstandings.
The whole idea with this version is to play with Mac symbols, their substitutions into words and the multitude of meanings that can be construed from those words, within the TextMate scope, Life in general and the English language. In other words, play on many different levels, and therefore confound(?) the uninitiated, while being an 'in-crowd joke' among us TM users. Yes, the message can contain a naughty side, but that is down to your imagination ;-)
The whole T-shirt design is both the front and the back as the message needs to be intact.

There are female t-shirts available with different necklines. (Part 3 of the offending t-shirt was "over the top". Please be respectful, even in humor.)

I'll probably get in trouble for using the TextMate logo without permission, but in lieu of an official t-shirt, I had this one printed up a few weeks ago. This one is actually dark, navy-blue (not black). It's just bad lighting in the picture :)

Oooooh . . . I *love* that graphic. I think that it is very nicely done and I like the subtle slogan. I also agree that "beyond words" is good. Although, I have to say that Helmut's "beyond text" makes more sense.
I don't think I would put the tab trigger under the logo, though. I think the best place for it is on the back.

I agree the graphic looks great. "Beyond text" might make more literal sense, but it loses the natural double meaning of "beyond words"= unspeakably, ineffably good.

This is a rough mockup of the shirt that I want. You guys can have fun with all your slogans and unicode characters, but it's just not my kind of thing.
What I want: Purple shirt LARGE White flat vector version of the icon with textmate under
this is just a very rough mockup of what it could look like (thanks for the psd mats!) obviously the final version wouldn't be all wobbly

I liked the "Try it to find out" part of your idea. Thinking of something dealing with text, I (i.e. a software) converted an image of the gear to ASCII art.
A simple tm⇥ would do the thing and display it in the current document.
nyfe⇥ was nice, it has pros that my attempt doesn't, like it is more attractive because many would get what "tm" means, and so won't type it in the editor, but "nyfe" sounds like you WANT to try to find out. At least , "nyfe" worked for me! ...But... I'm not fond of the result of the snippet.
One thing sucks about what I did: it is recommended to maximise the window, otherwise, it will look bad, sooo baaad! (width: 166 lines)

Heh. Maybe i'm being too clever for my own good; there are two parts to the text's shadow (one on the gear, another on the background), with the intention being to suggest that the gear sitting between the text and the background.

I'm sticking with my opinion that slogans are lame.
Please just let me have this: http://trippledoubleyou.subtlegradient.com/stuff/sG_TextMate-Shirt-purple_MO...
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.

I think "ready, aim, snippet" rolls of the tongue quite nicely.
But I'd still kill for a plain black t-shirt with "textmate" set in helvetica on the front, and a simple gear on the back between the shoulder blades. Think "Apple t-shirt" and you'll get the idea.
