It is sooooo nice. Did you print that with regular ink, or discharge? And Scapy, i think it's really your call, and whatever you feel is the best move for your company. Sometimes starting fresh/new could be a great option, and help you more in the long run. Just weigh the options, pros-cons to see what would be a stronger option. 12748 Post 2009-01-10T22:05:55-05:00 329600 7055 2009-01-10T22:05:55-05:00 <blockquote><cite>awakendesigncompany said:</cite> Cole, I just got the Arctic Junkie tee that you all did for Shifted Image.

But if you do start something new i'm sure you'll do a lot of things different that will all in all make your brand stronger. Same goes with if you rebrand, and re-work some things with Scapula. 12748 Post 2009-01-10T22:29:25-05:00 329613 7055 2009-01-10T22:29:25-05:00 shifted image shirts were all plasticol inks. :D 12748 Post 2009-01-10T22:40:26-05:00 329617 881 2009-01-10T22:40:26-05:00 <blockquote><cite>Cole said:</cite> shifted image shirts were all plasticol inks. :D</blockquote> yeah i was just talking to Marc about em. the print is ridiculously good!! one of the best print jobs i've ever seen, and i've not even washed it yet! so yeah, back to scapy's thread lol..... 12748 Post 2009-01-10T22:48:23-05:00 329620 7055 2009-01-10T22:48:23-05:00 Ive said this before and not trying to bring you down at all. But I think doing more band work will help you establish a style and feel youre what 16 now? take that money and buy a car and get some ladies and some vagina, then make shirts. Not saying what you do sucks, theres just soooooo many people doing this stuff. If you were in fact going to unleash something new, wait until the summer, where you have loads of free time and kids will look for something to spend their summer job money on. thats my two cents 12748 Post 2009-01-10T22:49:19-05:00 329621 782 2009-01-10T22:49:19-05:00 scappy, dont just be another zombie line. Ill come to new jersey and punch you in the taint. Seriously though, no more zombie shirts. Don't be another brand that hops on the zombie trend that kyle has on lock. 12748 Post 2009-01-11T02:04:56-05:00 329791 4557 2009-01-11T02:04:56-05:00 yeah dude its a hard call. i mean you could start something new and hope that it'll take off. or you could stick with what you have and just overhaul/improve it. I mean if you look at companies like GK and Rockett, they've been around for a while, and are just getting huge in the past few years. Your call, but like others said, just just hop on the zombie bandwagon. It's starting to get really played out. 12748 Post 2009-01-11T02:13:46-05:00 329804 1541 2009-01-11T02:13:46-05:00 just hire all the good designers and don't design any of your own stuff like all the other cheese balls! It seems to work! Oh and Sol, I believe we live in a hour or so radius of eachother. You Amish fuck. 12748 Post 2009-01-11T02:19:40-05:00 329813 4557 2009-01-11T02:20:18-05:00 hey aren't you the guy who owes that band from california like 700$ for some shirt designs? i heard you've owed it to them for like over a year...that's a little much for someone who has enough funding to even think about starting a whole new line. :) 12748 Post 2009-01-11T02:20:08-05:00 329814 9773 2009-01-11T02:20:08-05:00 ^^WTF? Seems like you've already made your mind up - start afresh and do it when ever you want, if the designs are good then people will buy. There's nothing wrong with out growing your old line :) 12748 Post 2009-01-11T02:55:17-05:00 329847 3005 2009-01-11T02:55:17-05:00 <blockquote><cite>JoshInvincible said:</cite> Oh and Sol, I believe we live in a hour or so radius of eachother.
