Question on Names?

[The Dark Jester]

I'm looking to start a T shirt design company and am wondering if anyone knows any ways to find out if and what names are copyrighted.

any help would be very appreciated.

There's a website out there that tells you what names have been officially copyrighted when you're doing searches, but I'm not sure what it's called. Do a search for 'copyright database' and see what happens.

What is the process of the shirt-making?

What makes yout "T-Shirt" company better than the other countless T-Shirt companies?

Demographic?

My advice is to just plan all processes, and expiriment with everything. Everyone I know thinks you can just print off pictures on your inkjet and have an "awesome shirt".

Yes Sir, I will T Shirt Co.

Heck, I dont know. Tell us about your company and/or yourself...unless you want random stuff like the above.

I mean actually buying a press or what have you.

Ill probably make a few through a local t shirt printer and see how much people like them.

as far as demographic goes I'm not sure, probably 13-25 or so.

The designs I have now are pretty rough.

Im thinking of Calling it either

"Sinister X"

or "Noxic Designs"

I would like to make shirts that you might see characters in video games or anime wear.

I think sinister x is a little too cliche and sounding like something you might find in hot topic.

Make a shirt that says I'm With Stupid and an arrow pointing up.

Those are awesome.

Re: Question on Names?

Yah. sinister X is what im calling one of the designs for sure but not the over all company.

Re: Question on Names?

Post some designs on here, before you actually throw out the shirt, I'd like to see.

Re: Question on Names?

You mean that you want to be a t-shirt designer, not a t-shirt logo designer? From the way you said you want to make shirts that video game or anime characters wear, what do you mean? You mean actual shirt designs, non-exclusive to t-shirts, or logo designs?

Re: Question on Names?

Do you mean a t-shirt merchandiser? Because it's not designing when you take already established characters and put them on shirts.

And sinister x is pretty lame-wad. How about "John Mora's Homestyle Shirt Press"?

Re: Question on Names?

No i dont want to take already established characters. Just designs that when You look at it youd go , THATS WHAT A GAME CHARCTER WOULD WEAR.

or something.

Re: Question on Names?

So... instead of cool things from our universe, you want cool things that made-up characters would wear. That's... weird. In a good way. Hard to market, but cool.

I don't know. I have no clue how to approach this.
