Help with brand name

**theduderoom** · 04-19-2009 10:53 PM

Hi folks I'm brand new here and was hoping you could give me some help with my brand name, by just letting me know which one you like more/feel is more memorable.

The two options are:

1. Cosmic Mayhem
2. Amazing Mayhem

Thanks in advance.

What is your brand going to be about? Please elaborate.

**theduderoom** · 04-19-2009 11:02 PM

it's going to be a fantasy inspired line of t shirts

**ACMAir** · 04-19-2009 11:03 PM

In that case i'd go with Cosmic Mayhem. Maybe some others can provide some original ideas like Frozen Flame or something

thanks for the reply

Cosmic Mayhem is the best of those two choices however, you need to look at who your target audience going to be, what type of shirts?

Now, Amazing Mayhem may be a perfect name if you are selling custom t-shirts to comic book collectors and action figure type stuff however...

if I heard t-shirts and Cosmic Mayhem I would think female shirts and designs.

in order to succeed you need to look at all pictures instead of saying...

I am going to start a t-shirt company and sell to all and be called "......"

you got to think like this...

I am going to sell a T-Shirt line to teenagers who skateboard and are athletic then think of a brand like Blue Flame...

Hope this has inspired you to get ideas.

I don't get that feel from cosmic mayhem at all, but to each his own.

why would you assume I have not thought my ideas out well? That's a little presumptuous of you wouldn't you say?

I'm just trying to do a little research to find out what name people prefer.

I apologize if that is how it came across.

My only goal was to give insight and thinking for you and others who may not be aware of how to develop a brand who will be reading this thread weeks later.

Research is good and you have a good starting location by coming up with a brand.

Best of luck to you and again, I apologize for how my message came across.

I get the femine feeling from cosmic mayhem also. I can't tell you exactly why that is but when i read the two options that is just what "popped" into my head.

I am trying to be helpful btw but neither name really had much staying power with me, like you said though to each his own but i think you were looking for personal opinion so that is what i am giving.

personally "random mayhem" sounds cool to me. You seem intent on the "mayhem" part and putting that with "random" gave the whole brand name an "edge" to me that made it semi-memorable.

Hope my opinion helped. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not necessarily committed to Mayhem, I just thought it represented the "craziness" I plan on having in the artwork very well.

What do you think of something like "Cosmic Dawn" and do you think it is more memorable for a name?

thanks for the help

Random Chaos (or variations thereof).

I have a problem with a lot of fantasy inspired product names/brands sounding stereotypical/cheesy to be honest... I'd go with a more quirky feel (Pratchett-esque for example) buts that's probably just me and possibly not right for your product/target market.
