Some "light" writing

I’m obsessed with this idea that the name of the company i’m creating be a very functional name. I love watching the videos in youtube by the channel “the future”. Their videos are so thoroughly depicting the process of designing a logo and working with a young company, but I just love that their clients get to be excited about “the future”. The name is an opportunity to laugh throughout their process. It’s an idea that sells itself.

So I like the following name, in no particular order:

  1. The Light Up Collective- I love the band animal collective, not only for their name but for thier music. I love the word collective, and “light up” just suggest “shining a light” on things, which is the goal of a designer.

  2. The Play Room- I used to spend the most time in my houses “play room” growing up, learned so much in that room, escaped from reality a lot too. Lots of fun had.

  3. Margins- emphasizes putting things inside where they belong

  4. Not Random- funny idea

  5. 5WH- there are 5 “w” questions that exist, and the “h” is for “how”, so who, what, when, where, why, and how.

  6. 50 cottage- my address growing up.

  7. 12:34- lucky/ magic time of day, when to make wishes.

  8. No Wishes- My favorite song right now, the idea is they’re all used up and I don’t need them because I am forever happy.

  9. Grant Wishes- opposite of what I was thinking in 8.

  10. Funky Lips - I found a name generator and that’s what I got.

  11. Grantit- Like wishes ;)

  12. Kentucket- name of a made up town I made for my 5th grade project.

  13. Indigo lion- listening to a lot of chris brown and lion king “the gift”

  14. Flutter- great word

  15. Spagetti- because you CAN’T name a company spaghetti (lol)

    At this point I have to remind myself it’s just a name Michael…… it’s just a name. Whatever is the quality of the work will determine if the name is a “good” name. You have a very addictive brain buddy, just relax, it’s just a name. Now back to names…..

  16. Zipline- I mean that’s a great name!

  17. Complisk- complex and risk put together.

  18. Holamity- Hola and calamity

  19. SnowBall- I f**king hate snow, but to make good of something bad is just life!

  20. Frank- my middle name, name of my amazing grandfather, greatest man I’ve known.

    1 day…. one of these will be the right name!
