Just goes to show no idea is stupid if it gets the thought processes going. I really like it. :D

I have to agree with Ian totally - anyway, all ideas have to begin somewhere and there is nothing wrong with constructive criticism or suggestions to grow the idea further.

Mugman, do you want me to do a hi-res version of your logo?

Hi Gus.
If you think it's worth a hi-res version. I've copied off the poster and it seems the copy at the base is perhaps less sharp.
PS Glad you like it.

Here's how the logo looks in other colour variants. Obviously without any wording it wouldn't mean anything without prior enlightenment as to what it represents. Many logos on their own don't mean anything until they have become connected with the reasoning behind them.
All of this, and a poster idea, are just ongoing scheming. How any of it might be used is open to ideas. The logo with wording might be a drop-in device for webpages/blogs. If any of this is not a requirement, then it's not a requirement. Period.

Geat initiative, nice poster. This sort of thing may get things going towards general knowledge about the fact that men also wish to wear comfortable / and or fashionable clothing outside of today's men's box.

But I don't quite understand the text;
"whoever invented trousers should be made to wear them". :roll:
Who invented them anyway?

No matter who invented skirts, every "BODY" can wear them. :shock: :wink: :wink: :wink:
A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.

Trousers, were invented by the Vikings for riding horses. The Romans pre-empted the idea and put them on all their mounted troops, of course both the Vikings and the Romans wore a skirted garment, in the Viking,a Kilten (the forerunner of kilts), in the Romans a tunic, over the trousers. As soon as they got off the horses for the day, they switched back into more comfortable wear, ie: togas, tunics etc. or in the Vikings Kilten, which was a leather knee length skirt. Unfortunately, nearly everyone in succeeding centuries rode horses most of the time and trousers for men became the norm and comfortable skirts were considered only women's wear..UNFAIR!!!

I think that your poster is excellent. Hopefully it will make people confront their prejudices. Well done.

Hey,
Just worked out an idea -
Why not visit Cafe Press - http://www.cafepress.com
And create a line of items - clothing, bags, underlings all kinds of stuff.
Then we and others we tell can get things with the Logo and words to promote this.
I assume the Cafe Press is a good shop.
Also, no personal shipping or order taking the company does it all.

If anyone wouldn't mind I could do this myself and put aside part of the income to fund gatherings in the future.
I would however like everyones input as to what designs and words to use.
