Thinking of a new name for my business, Suggestions ?

[IvegotsTILE]

I pondered for a while on what to call my business,I wouldn't use initials cause its to hard to remember.In Topps there are 4 different cards I.E,B.T,C.T Ceramics and so on,none stand out,your better off using your name.
I'm called Eclipse Tiling cause I like the name and the logo is simply a picture of an Eclipse.All my t-shirts and business cards are bright orange with black backgrounds which makes them stand out.The guys at Topps say my cards are always the first to dissapear.
I wouldn't put ceramics on either due to all the different types of tiling.I think you have to have tiles or tiling in the name so they realise what you do.

amazing tiling
----
tiling nirvana - dream home tiling (evocative) - evoke tiling
something that gives a strong emotional reaction (in a nice way obviously).
----
concept tiling rather than concept ceramics would be better then it isnt limited to purely ceramics - which you might not want to specialise in.

How about Reputable Tiler or REPTILE for short - Lol

Or TACTILE (Let me touch up your home)

reptile is good - a logo designer could work wonders with that - would be memorable - how many other people would have a lizard attached to their van?

REPTILE

I was thinking a month or so ago about names I could go under if I was to ever set up full time.
I could not think of anything so I asked my son (15) because youngsters and teenagers have more inventive minds and after 5 mins he come back to me with a name that I thought would work and was going to sit on it. My son who is doing graphic design even took the logo of the name it derives and mocked it up for me below, until I read this thread and checked the name on National Business Register posted within this thread, I just seen the name has already been taken as a .com & .co.uk for a tiling company ffs.
:furious3:

I'll still go with it, but what do you guys reckon about the logo, do you think it would infringe on copyright????

 

[grumpygrouter]

The name is probably fine Jimmy but yes I do think you would have a problem with copyright for the logo. Change the colour of the X maybe to get around it or even the style of the X.
