Someone told me that that guy in the Ryonet video actually knows nothing about screenprinting, that he actually made his money in a boyband that failed after a small bit of success. He later invested that money into a supply business.  Who knows if its true, may be a myth... ???

I think he printed for his band and some others... but used DIY equipment... then started building more for other people to make ends meet.  That's where everything took off.  At least I think that is THEIR story.

He didn't say what kind of band... but it is what it is... you sure can't knock the guy for his success!

No Doubt!

Funny enough, that style of logo at the end of the dollar shave dealie is so overused. I don't quite understand why so many different businesses use basically the same logo. I guess it's sort of a coat of arms when the cross is made of something that pertains to the company. But often times, it will just be a cross with and acronym.

I heard they did 25 mill in business last year. Not such a small company.

I'm betting their marketing budget seems VERY small compared to that of Geico or Office Depot.  These are the companies (not those exactly) that are stealing the Old Spice theme and I don't get it.  If I paid a marketing firm X million bucks a year to come up with ads and they brought me "well, Old Spice has been doing well with this style... lets try copying them."  I'd fire them in a heart beat.
