However, there's something about the font/position of the logo...err.. expression on the shirt that doesn't quite appeal to me. Maybe I'll have to design one too!

The font is FF Meta, the same font used in the Y Combinator (VC) logo. It's unfortunate that the Y-Combinator is so long. I tried to kern so it would fit in a single line but be big enough to see on a shirt. Not sure that I succeeded exactly; maybe not based on your comment. :)
- chwahoo 16y agoI haven't seen the shirt that inspired you, so my opinion probably isn't so useful.
- apgwoz 16y agoI think I've seen people affiliated with YC with a shirt that just has the orange box with a Y on it. Other YC shirts I know of: "make something people want", and when you get acquired, you get "i made something people want"
- jacobolus 16y agoFF Meta is a nice typeface, but I don’t think it works especially well for math, especially the roman font, since math is typically set in the italics of some serifed face. It’s especially rough with the tracking so tight (around the '.'s there’s nowhere near enough space) and with the parentheses vertically aligned to match uppercase letters.
