Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. For instance, do you like scrapbooking? Perhaps you could create scrapbooks for people that enjoy them but don't have the time or interest in putting them together. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? what are your interests? what could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

Well first off I'd try looking up the person who made the shirt and contacting them directly for a supplier.  Or you could always just go ask Hop Topic and those other places.  that's about the best I can come up with man, hope that helps.

No one. You cannot copyright a symbol: copyright applies only to a creative work (like a book or a play).

I think you might find that you cant as they might already be taken by the original company. Sometimes a company will register its name in many variations so that nobody else can use it.
