Greater Good Christian Clothing

Since i’ve started this blog I have been contemplating how I can incorporate my passion of graphic design with christian issues in college. A friend of mine in one of my graphic design classes started a christian clothing company for one of his previous projects. If you would like to check it out, here is a link to their website that will show you a few of their products, Great Commission Clothing. Moving on, from the time I was able to dribble a ball and draw I have wanted to design shoes for Nike. I have always had a gift for designing graphics for products and clothing related advertising. Along with incorporating design, I have been trying to figure out a way I can give back to Prairie Lakes Church. PLC has had a major impact in my life by providing a place to worship and grow in my faith. Being a poor college student I don’t have much time or money to give back. I came up with the idea to fulfill both my need to design and give back. I am going to start a christian clothing brand similar to Great Commission, only this one is going to be done on my own time and a majority of the profits will go to Prairie Lakes Church or a charity of their desire. 

I decided on the name Greater Good for many reasons. I had a huge list of possible brand names but I settled on Greater Good because I think it relates not only to the idea of its proceeds going to a better cause but also as a Christian you are always trying to make the best decisions for God (the greater good). For those of you who aren’t interested in design you can just skip this next part. Visually I have come up with a few logo designs that are based off of the GG. I think the GG gives an aesthetic curvature that creates a balanced yet manipulative logo. My shirts wont be focused on just the logo, I intend to do extremely symbolic designs and current trends (such as #, >, and other social media influences). I will be posting a few of the rough drafts of the logo design and also a few ideas for my first shirt. I want my shirts to by influenced by the customer so I think voting on a handful of verses from the bible and then choosing one to put on a shirt will be one of my first shirts. 

I will try my best to make my shirts appealing to various ages and of course available for both men and women. If any of you reading have ideas for a christian shirt that you think others would be interested in, please contact me via email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or leave a comment on the blog. I am open to all ideas and will do my best to consider all options. I will keep the status of the company up-to-date on here, Facebook, and Twitter. Once I have sufficient info on shirts and donation information I will start its own Facebook page. 

Here is a very generic and rough sketch of the Greater Good Logo
