Hey, I'm starting up a clothing line to be released this summer coming up and i know the name is very important. I have a name picked out mind telling me if you like it?

The name is "HeckNo TechNo" and we would be making cartoonish designs that are very colourful and clean.

Example here :http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1boz7.jpg

Thanks guys

I tried to look at the design but it won't load
Yeah it won't load. Btw, heckno techno sounds techy, and not really cartoonish/clean, if you asked me. I'm imagining plenty of grunge lines, splatters and lots of graffiti induced designs. Definitely not cartoonish. Just my 2 cents.
the name sure leaves me cold...not sure what the message is
I agree with Mar. I was expecting you to say your designs were grungy more than cartoon.

I think you need a name as animated as your shirts will be !

Maybe try not to thinkn too hard and it will come to you !

Design is cool! But I wouldn't associate Heckno with anything I wanted to sell, it sounds to negative, JMHO
I agree ! You want to have a positive feel to your name !

How about just "Toons on Tees" or "C. C. Tees" aka Clean Colorful Tees.
car2n or maybe kabloosh lol i dunno make a name that you think sounds good but also ask some people if they think your name fits your designs
Heckno Techno makes me think of Jeff Foxworthy for some reason. Maybe the Heckno part. Techno? That reminds me of when kids used to go to the city (NYC) techno dancing.... so are you against techno dancing, or something else techno? It seems very limiting, like your designs would be one little category of something, which is "i dont' know what" you mean.

The name didn't seem to go with the design at all, but sometimes, that goes to the wayside and a name begins to represent the art, just by familiarity.

I didn't really get a message off the design either, so maybe I am not in the demo that you are targeting, but I liked the made up name, kabloosh that Kroogz said. That makes no sense, so your designs can be anything. Techno has a defined meaning for alot of people, so they will have some forethought of what your designs will be like, and if they are detached from each other, that will leave them confused. That is if the techno ploy can draw them in to begin with, because Heckno and Techno seem to me to come from nearly two opposing places in culture.

????

So, if you want an opinion, there's just another one to toss on the heap. I'm sorry. I wish I ''got it'' a little more... maybe than I could add something different for you. Maybe kabloosh might not be what you had in mind, but maybe something along the lines of what feels right to you, but less defined then what you are considering. Best regards.

Simple, ask a 3 year old what he's thinking, and he'll probably give you a swoosh, or swish or something thats possibly cartoonish.

I like the sound of Heckno Techno - although just not cartoonish.
Heckno Techno makes me think anti-techno, whatever that is I'm sure Techno Viking would not approve.

PS: Why is it you can say in one sentence what it takes me a paragraph to say?

Thanks so much everyone for replying, since this threads start I have rethought the name and thanks to you guys we will not be going with heckno techno.

Im going to brainstorm a few new names and see how the feedback is on them.

thanks.

WHAT! Okay, check out this video. Not much happens for the first 30 seconds but you'll see a man plow into the blue haired girl and that's when TechnoViking appears from nowhere to save the girl, send the rude man away and then dances down the street as the crowd begins following him and random people come up and offer him things.

Wow. Now that's not cartoony at all, but that techno viking is uber cool.
ok guys the new name i stormed up is "Kismet Kid" or possibly just "Kismet". What do you think?
Hmm, that's a Broadway show, as well as movie. Wonder if there are issues there? (Kismet, I mean.)
