One thought here, most of these designs do seem to be geared towards a much older women. Late teens to twenty-somethings are an edgier, hipper group and I don't think pink is a direction most of them are moving towards (having left pink behind at about the time they entered adolescence.)

I really like Rick's second design (sans pineapples)... not that I could see it standing a test of time as it is a very trendy look for now it may not be later (seems like everything nowadays is flourishes... but with splatters)
I don't understand how these designs are geared toward older women by using a color that should have been outgrown
Victoria Secret has been marketing almost this scenarios exact target market using pink http://www.vspink.com/

Mark I never outgrew pink. I was trying to mock up something that could be printed as is for a clothing tag or done without the batik-type background and the word "boutique" in glass etch on the windows of a shop for an upscale look.

Don't get me wrong, pink has it's place, my 21 year old has fuschia hair and it has been that color for years now. (That pink rubs off on bathroom porcelain by the way and bleach won't remove it.) The eighteen year old won't be caught dead in pink. I like that background Jill. Although at first glance I only read candles & boutique.

You know . . . I Googled 'Tipsy Gypsy' and I had no idea that anything existed - they are a band!
The only reason this came to mind is because a client last week gave me her email address and with all the weird characters in it (partial names I think) and it at first glance looked similar to 'Tipsy Gypsy' - so I mentioned that to the lady and she laughed . . . so when I read this thread for a name for a pub, this seemed to be appropriate (a few minutes ago, anyway).
