I spent a okay of hours on this and now I have:

  http://www.paul.sladen.org/expo/fosdem-2007/T-shirt-logos.html

Suggestions welcomed!  This can probably be made to work using any
combination of red/white/black fabric, with the other two colours silk
screened on top---though it might need some adjusting to ensure the result
looks good with bleed.

There's also quite alot of narrow lines on there (eg. text) which don't
print aswell as large blocks of solid colour, I have already fatted the text
up a little to try and help.

There's likely some space at the bottom to place text, but if we don't
specifically put the word 'etch' on it, then the design will continue to be
sellable as a generic design.

One possibility I consisted was giving the whole device a persective off to
one side (being held at an angle to the viewer), which would give the
picture depth and the knobs would then clearly stick out.
