what's your guy's stance on flipping other's logos?

some i flipped...

For me,only if its super relevant to your brand or the message your brand stands for,otherwise id stay clear,you could be massively devaluing your brand.

This is for all the people that haven't started a brand yet but are thinking about it (it could also apply to people that just started)
Pretty much its a article that talks about all the misconceptions of starting a brand. Definitely a good read.

Great article. Most of this information is very true. I see so many kids these days thinking that they can just put a few t's out and it will make them cool or famous. Little do they know that this overly saturated industry takes extreme dedication, hard work, talent, sweat and passion to even turn a profit. My guess is that 98% of the brands on this forum will never see any huge business success - and my brand could very well be part of that statistic. As long as you do what you love and love what you do, you can't really ask for more. Good luck to all the starting brands out there - your going to need it.

good words minsct. starting a clothing brand, takes much more than just producing a few tees, putting them at a low price and selling them. requires determination, patience, research, and $$$. theres a difference between selling shirts, and building a brand. some people get lost in the misconcept that owning a .storenvy account with no branding and 3 incoherent shirt designs printed on a gilden shirt is a clothing brand. a 'brand' is something you can recognize. Proper branding, coherent designing, brand message & meaning, and good marketing is what can boost a brand to success (of coarse over time)

I like the Bra logo, its mischievous. though its difficult to comment on anything because theres nothing that really suggests what your brand is about/ stands for? It could mean nothing or I could be missing out on something profound.

theres so many brands out there and everything is so "here today,gone tomorrow" that I think you need to give us something about what your brand is saying maybe, not necessarily through text but how you present the product?

Hi everyone i'm working on a clothing label, im hoping ill be able to have the first release in juli 2013 because i need to be 18 years old to have a real clothing label, and to actually sell clothing in the netherlands. But i just wanted to let you know that I was working on something. you can see some designs on the facebook page.
and to get a feeling of how the brand is going to be you could check out the blog on the website. please like the facebook page or follow us on twitter :D

Can someone tell me what they think this design will look like on a tee shirt? Would appreciate some advise!

I wouldn't do it. It barley looks like an owl. I think it needs some work.
