Try to keep all designs with a maximum printout area of an A4 (US
letter) area, minus ~2cm on each side. Also, each extra color/ink adds
quite a bit of cost. The DC6 shirts were the most complex so far
(printed with 6 layers of color, 4 of them needing submilimeter
aligning). Before DC6 we had had 1 and 2 inks, and since DC7 we have
always had 2 or 3 inks.
We can reduce one color if we play well with the T-shirt colors. OTOH, I would really like to have some cool and different T-shirt colors (not the ones from the logo palette).

The DebConf12 logo is quite a challenge now, as it is already by
itself five colors. At least two of them (tail+wing) can be "squished"
down with very few people noticing. Possibly the dark-yellow head can
be made with black dithering over the yellow, but not every printing
technique allows for it.
I'll try to make a simplified version of the logo with less colors. The problem is also that the bird itself is very colorful. :)

Yes, I know the logo is already picked, but try to find a way to
reduce its complexity... Maybe we could print its outline rather than
each of its hues? I would suggest centering on the bird's head+swirl,
but I know the tail is the distinctive item of the
guardabarranco... So I'll try not to attempt to be creative, and leave
the details up to you :)
