Very true. I've always liked companies with names like Blue Martini or Nimblefish. I think Big Red Pen is a great name, though probably better for an editing agency or something. Building on that idea though, how about Big Red Key? So it has a couple connotations--key in the sense of unlocking something, and key in the sense of being something that you activate that causes everything to happen. A simple logo with a red keyboard key would be very nice.

Well, if ONE coyote just does it REPEATEDLY--say every morning at about 7 AM--then you've got yourself a business plan.

What about something kind of literary--like "Pequod" or "Argus" inc.?

Vanadis Inc. (or enterprises, LTD, Esq, etc.)

Vanadis is the scandinavian goddess of beauty (the element vanadium is named after her because of it's pretty colours).

That shows how nerdy I am. When I start my company I'm naming it after a element, but I'm not giving my names away

There's only so many to choose from. Someone might beat you to it.

Okay maybe I'll name it after a random molecule then, I've created a few of those that few know about... it would be a really long name though

Everytime I see your name I keep reading Hitler instead of hitter.

I'm like turning dyslexic or something.

Also I think it refers well to the scope of your business, in that you will do all of the things needed to create that impression. Hope it isn't too long.)


2. RRR (Redesign, Rethink, Revolutionize)


I'll try to think of some others.
That isn't bad but to keep the name short maybe just call it simply


Impressions

register.com is NOT available. Somebody implied it was.

Be careful that you register with a reputable company,some will scoop your name or even register and sell it.
That is why I can't get shoestringmarketing.com,but I have had .ca and .info .

A couple of years ago, I checked windtricity.com for a company I was starting,but I didn't buy the name and sure enough three weeks later a company in Arizona took it and all variations.
A few months back I tried swaymarketing.com, now it is gone and under construction.

I, of course can't prove anything. But don't check your names till you are close to deciding amongst ten or so.

You can have Sloth Courier if you'd like (it evolved because my furniture delivery company was growing and I didn't want it to , oh and I wasn't delivering any damn furniture until I new that person was at home and NO hide-a-beds.)

Rewrite your question fifty times and see if a word pops up.
Or work on your mission statement a bunch of times.
Look at from your customers viewpoint,what does he really want from a company like you?

If you get a chance PM me your soon-to-be first brochure
or a little more info and I will stew on it for a week or so.

Really? Of what elements have you used to make this so called "Random" molecule?
