What is the meaning behind the company name. I realize your name is Johnny but where did the cupcakes come from?

- Can't forget those! For those who don't know—we put random vintage trading cards and toys in every order. You might get a Ninja Turtles card or a Saved By The Bell hologram. My favorite, Home Alone 2 trading cards. It's all about the bird lady.JohnnyCupcakes

So much effort for a lame name.
No one will take you serious with cupcakes on your tee.

Good execution of a bad idea.

to each is own I guess.
I like this brand a lot regardless of how much money the guy makes from it ; designwise I think it's pretty consistent. As many stated everything has been taken care of, there are a lot of small details to apreciate ; from the tshirt label in form of potholder, to the wrapping paper, the little gazette, or the happy meal like packaging....
I personally find the logo great, strong and bold.And lastly I apreciate the brand spirit ; streetwear but not hardcore. not taking itself too seriously but yet being done with a lot of care.
For now it's mainly tshirts and accessories, but I'm looking forward to see how it evolves. I t would be nice to see a line of denim or dedicated jackets/winter apparel.
- Like I said... isn't that the point of good branding???OSFA

Although my brand isn't for everyone, I hope that some of you can at least pull some inspiration from our packaging, products, store design, and the experience.--
Totally, I think everyone here as graphic designer could appreciate what this guy is doing brand wise, presentation is impecable. Ok, so you wouldn't wear a cupcake graphic on your chest, I understand that, but just means the whole concept is not for you. Objectively speaking and as a graphic designer, this is pretty cool:

As Miguex said, the attention to details through every items is great and inspiring.

I respect and admire the following he created, his designs are clean, just not my style. I've seen photos of his store and presentation is impecable.
Great PR work for sure.
