The company produced T-shirts designed by Gailey on the theme of hacker culture. Though the enterprise doubled in size in the first year,[2] the company remained a side-project of the two founders until 2003, when they partnered with Jason Kraus and decided to work full-time, using video game themes for the majority of their pieces.[2] The following year the company moved out of Gailey's bedroom and into their first office.[2] Gailey describes the multiple themes that Jinx uses in its apparel as including, "video games, art, geek culture, Internet memes, giant robots, gadgets and comics."[1] Jinx Clothing and WebsiteJinx has worked with video game and other media companies through licensing deals to produce official product lines, including Blizzard Entertainment (the producer of the video games World of Warcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch and Starcraft),[3] Minecraft,[4] and Star Wars: The Old Republic.[5] The company hires gamers as its employees in order to remain closely linked to the video gaming community.[6] The firm hosts an online community (with had over 600,000 users as of 2010) that, among other things, holds weekly trivia contests and a photo altering contest called Tweakfest. The site is also used as a sounding board for new design concepts, some submitted by the users themselves.[3] There are also rewards programs associated with the community called Jinx Gold and Jinx Exp, whereby online participation leads to price discounts or other prizes.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=Props: Jinx |author=Darius Baptist |publisher=YRB Magazine |volume=Volume 10 | issue=Issue 20 |pages=102–103}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.wired.com/geekdad/2011/11/with-jnx-geeks-shall-never-go-shirtless-again/ |title=Geeks Shall Never Go Shirtless Again |publisher=Wired.com |author=Curtis Silver |date=November 9, 2011 |accessdate=March 26, 2012}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |title=Jinx Wants You to Get Into It |publisher=Game Fan Magazine |date=April 2010 |page=14}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://kotaku.com/5784615/jinx-launches-the-official-minecraft-merch-store-with-digable-t+shirts |author=Mike Fahey |title=Jinx Launches the Official Minecraft Merchant Store |date=March 22, 2011 |publisher=Kotaku |accessdate=March 25, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Catching_Up_With_Star_Wars_The_Old_Republic_144064.asp |date=March 3, 2012 |publisher=TheForce.Net |accessdate=March 24, 2012 |title=Catching Up With Star Wars: The Old Republic |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405180529/http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Catching_Up_With_Star_Wars_The_Old_Republic_144064.asp |archivedate=April 5, 2012 |df= }} 6. ^1 {{cite news |title=Keep Your Shirt On |publisher=World of Warcraft Magazine |pages=111–115 |author=James Bernard Frost |volume=Volume 1 | issue=Issue 4}} External links
