Needless to say that we have been very busy lately, there is a lot to think about when starting a new business. One of the things we are doing is looking at a suitable logo for our new brand. We are using a company called 50dollarlogo, and we have found them to be a good option when a business has to be started on a shoestring. For around £30 they will design a logo following our directions and they will give us as many revisions as we want, which is a good thing, because in our attempt to appeal to youngsters, we managed to develop something that people felt looked like the Rocky Horror rather than a Christian celebration, so 50dollarlogo are now coming up with other options. For the price, it is a brilliant service! Here is a link to their website: http://www.50dollarlogo.com
We have also been looking for designers to create the t shirt designs and sourcing suppliers of fairtrade organic t shirts, it is very important to us that our ethics are genuine right the way through. We also want to earmark 25% of profits to charity and this will be a genuine 25% of gross profits, we will pay to charity before we pay ourselves – following the truth of Christian principles.
I am delighted that one of my best friends, who also happens to be a Christian and a very accomplished artist with her own exhibitions, has taken a real liking to our project and, despite her being very busy, she has agreed to create some of the designs for our t shirts.
