T-Shirts for Scientists

I had this idea, that I could make and sell T-shirts, targeting university students or similarly educated persons. These shirts were going to have slogans and pictures that related to certain fields of science, and were incredibly funny to biologists, volcanologist, palaeontologists etc, but probably wouldn't really mean anything to other people.

For example...

"There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who speak binary and those who don't"
- poster on the wall in the mathematics and computer science department at uni.
See? Funny, but only if you know what it is talking about. I was going to make T-shirts along a similar vein.

And, all my university friends are scientists, we all call ourselves geeks, and are proud of it. So, I was going to call my label "Geek Gear", with the logo being two intertwined G's which was going to be on the shoulder or sleeve of each shirt.

But disaster!!! Geek Gear already exists; some one has already established a label with the name.

I have other ideas for names, but they just are not as good. The label needs to clearly identify the clothing as being for people of a certain type, in just the same way that labels like, I don"t know, "Barbie" automatically tells you the what-ever-it-is is pink and small. Geek Gear would have been perfect, so I am a little bit sad at not being able to use it.

I have been having my own shirts printed for years and years, with one of my originals being "I (heart) scissors". It was awesome; funny, and a conversation starter. I had thought that I could include this in my little range. But, then that lecturer had to go and brutally stab his girlfriend in the chest with a pair of scissors, so it could be a little distasteful just now.

On the bright side, I have shown my scientist finds a few mock ups, and have had really amazingly good feed back, with pretty much everyone wanting to buy them. So all is not lost, just delayed.
