help on deciding on a company name...

rdcube

Hi y'all,
I've been thinking about T-shirtbooth comment on deciding on a name and it does make a big deal how you present yourself to the world.

I would like some feedback.

Please vote on some possible options.

any feedback greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Choose 3 hobbies that you like (relevant to IT) and merge them together for a name.

Thats how I got mine.

rdcube

I hit save and couldn't edit it.
I meant, icecubeapps.com

thanks for checking.

I'm an independent Coldfusion contractor doing Web and iPhone web application development and now Games...so, web, mobile and games.

lol I cant think of much.

Im sure if you google for the right stuff you will find a site where you add 3-4 key words and it thinks of a name for you.

Of the 4 above, only luarapps.com is available. Technically icecubeapps.com IS available, but I suspect it wouldn't be long before you'd get a cease and desist letter.

I like iDeveloperz suggestion.

Are you set on one of the poll choices?
Is rdcube related to your name?

Of the choices, I like the "ice cube apps"... I think it lends itself to an interesting logo possibility. Sort of works with the Coldfusion specialty as well.

iDeveloperz

Yeh what tshirtbooth said sounds good.

Another thought, I could see "ice cubed apps" as "ice3apps" with the "3" in the superscript position so it's "cubed".

design219

Ha, thinking alike now.

That's pretty cool...Thanks for the suggestions.

It's funny how the word 'cube' can be tossed around.
My main meaning for the word 'cube' is mainly related to 'office cubicles'.
I setup a small home office or 'cube' where I do all my development.

I have rdcube.com reserved when I join GS with this username, but nothing up already.

luar is mainly my name spelled backwards.

I did a google searched on 'ice cube apps' and the rapper 'ice cube' comes a lot on the results...I wouldn't want to be associated or sue by them.

as for iCubeApps, there's a company already 'CubeApps', I'm just putting the 'i' to make it 'independent'.

I REALLY like the 'icecubeapps'...I thought about "maker's mark drink on the rocks" as a logo

I really like:
ColdFuzionDesign
ColdFuzionApps
IceCubeFuzion
CubedFuzionApps

Haha I think I just like the word fuzion

In a moment of madness I came up with 'coolasf**kapps' - unmarketable I know!

On a more serious note, I like coldfusion apps - or coldfusion games. The ice cube name is pretty good too.

cubelicous.com ;-)

Actually, cube could be spun with a "q" too to possibly open up more domain names being available.

Don't get funky with spelling or people will never remember the name or can't remember how to spell it. Keep it simple and don't play games with the spelling and you'll do better. (I've been in web design/development for nearly 10 years...for what that's worth)

StormyStudio

I like

www.icecubeapps.com

I would'nt think it was related to the rapper. The logo could be cool...

I can't imagine the rapper Mr.Cube would have any licencing on the word icecube....otherwise he'd have the rights to a whole drawer in my freezer.

rdcube

Thanks to all for your feedback.
You've given me some things to think about.

and just like sdpardue mentioned, although I like 'icecubeapps', I don't want to risk it...still undecided if it'll be a good fit with 'web and mobile' work which is what I do most.

so now I'm down to 'cubefusionapps', 'rdcube' or 'icubeapps' (or my new favorite 'coolasfunkapps').

I'm not a good designer, so the logo for me will be challenging...but once I decide on one, I don't mind paying for someone to create a KA logo for me.
