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".

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

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.

“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

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?

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.

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!
- Cliff
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.

My wife likes seeing me in things with buttons but I
can't fathom
why anyone likes wearing that stuff.

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!
I don't think anyone could have
explained it any better. That's exactly
what I was thinking, too. :)
- Cliff
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.
Thanks for the correction. ;-)

Well, so far
this is my favorite. Although the one about the only mate
that will keep you up all night is a really close second.

don't like the
anti-BBEdit ones.

Having said my piece, I would like someone to tell me:
what is it with
Americans' obsession with T-shirts?
I can't speak for the guys, but as a
girl I find them to be all-purpose:
- Comfortable day-wear
- PJs -- no bottom needed
- When worn out they make a great dust-cloth
- Can make a diaper in a pinch (been there, done that)
- Worn correctly, the baby-doll T's will get you free drinks without
being too revealing ;)
All this and I get to be opinionated! What more do you need to know?

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

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!
I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a
thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your
accounts on your thumb nail.

I believe I'm convinced... :)
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..

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.

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 ;)
9:52 a.m.
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://

I also really like the tab trigger idea, and for slogans, the “beyond

This is true for all the shirts except the ones for the ladies.

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.

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 :)

Yeah, I have to side with Linda here. I've
*had* it with these stupid
stereotypes! Why do we think some people don't deserve equal
attention just because their gender is different? How come guys never
get to have shirts that make fun of our boobs??? I want a
nipple-making-fun-of shirt NOW!
Oooh, I wish you hadn't said that... See attached.

I also
really like the tab trigger idea, and for slogans, the
"beyond words" is my favorite.
I'll cast a vote for "beyond words". Classy and to the point.

Whereas I do think "beyond words" is very clever, I think I'd feel
embarrassed with it on a t-shirt. A bit pretentious, or something.
Can't quite put my finger on it.

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.

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.
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 ;) ):

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)

Looks good - but something is wrong with the shadows of "te" - they
should be on top of the cog, not below it.

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.

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

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.
