So our team is trying to come out with a new line of clothing for people, along with logos and designs.
We're thinking of making:
A youth line
A men's line (funny)
A men's line (business oriented)
A womens's line (cute/sexy)
Women's line (funny)
Womens' Line (business-oriented)

Got any ideas?

Yeah, get your own ideas. If you can't come up with ideas on your own, how are you supposed to have a successful company.

Look, our team isn't doing so well with ideas.
We already have 5 items being made up and they should be up on the store in about a month.

Our company isn't really the clothing type, but we're trying to do a little bit because of demand for some of our designs on shirts.
We've printed about 10 shirts which about 6 sold.
We have support from other people, too, but we want to appeal to all types.

We have our own ideas, but we are looking for a wider variety, too.

Leave the guy alone, he's just looking for some ideas to broaden his company. This is good for beginning designers, they get their name and stuff out.

what kind of company is it. e.g. what type of customer do you sell to? (skiers, skaters, music types?)

Mostly corporate identities for the past 2 years, but we're trying to widen our demographics.

And it's not MY company, we are a group of 5 that is a graphic design business.
We have one designer who does the graphics in photoshop, but the rest of us consult and put it down on paper.

im still not sure who you sell to... but your icon is not a bad idea for LuckyFire. maybe you should create something like that depending on who you sell to. obviously if yuor selling to older people then shirts should be neater and such but if your selling to teenages maybe a black shirt with the logo on it. something on the back like a skier.

just an idea

Already did that 3 years ago.
We're successful making logos for businesses, but clothing is a different deal.

well my having a small clothing thing going on, i completely agree with whoever says come up with your own ideas... cause its more original that way(as long as you're not copieing from any one) not to mention anyone that cant think their own stuff up liek designs and stuff pays someone else, and if they cant pay someone else, they will deffinately go under... not to mention do you guys even have a business licanse to sell stuff?
