Edit: Naming my company: Done!!

[gonzalezj]

Well everyone, I have made my decision with much deliberation. I have picked two and taken one off the 1st list completely. I plan on going with Black Label Entertainment and Cerebral Hemorrhage Ltd. Don't ask why, but it will work itself out later. I have also taken out Bob Jones Productions because it was my first company and I might keep it around .

The rest of these companies are up for grabs if anyone wants them!

Thanks for everyone's c+c and stories as they really helped me. Hope to get our first release out soon + website!!

Cheers,
Gonzalezj

How did you guys come up with the names for your game production companies?
I'm having a difficult time choosing from my list of companies. I don't know if I want to post them for fear that someone might take one and use it before I do.  

Cheers,

[undergroundling]

mine is, oddly enough, Undergroundling Productions, heh...

it also doubles as my video production and music production "company."  i just liked the name undergroundlings.  like the groundlings improv comedy group but...underground...i dunno it just sounded cool.  it was a website i had for a while as well, but it eventually just evolved into my company name.

[n3tgraph]

well If you don't like them, why be worried if somebody steals it

use typical you things to make up a name
like

Gonzales' Adventure Software

GAS

[MillsJROSS]

Most of the people here aren't into the habit of taking other people company names away. Just suggest something to us, and as long as you make something and give it to us in a short period, no one should steal it.

You should try to make your company name have something to do with you. Whether that be your name, an activity you like doing, whatever! Hope you think of something.

[rodekill]

Punch My Sac Entertainment.

PMS!

[Helm]

Electronic Farts is MINE!

[EldKatt]

Yay, opinions.

I really like Bob Jones Productions and Drunken Moose Games. Implode Games sounds too much like it's trying to sound cool. Gonzales' Adventure Software is good.
And finally... Grey Matter is already taken. By the kind of people who could sue you. And stuff.

[Matt Brown]

dude. I love no pants productions.


btw, my company is, and has been ever since I wrote in QBASIC, is Stinky Software

[Ionias]

Gonzalez' Adventure Software (Thanks N3TGraph, lol)

I like this one best. It could be G.A.S. for short.

.... or you could wait for your favorite local comic shop to go under and steal the name, like I did.

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

Mine is Evil Eyes Productions. I like the no pants productions  
Gonzorbachov Productions sounds weird.

[OneThinkingGal and ._.]

No Pants is also taken. I believe they make Everybody loves Raymond and/or Home Improvement.

I'm just gonna call mine: ._. Productions.  Or something similar but involving ._. because I wuv my pet smiley and it would be a unique name.

I hope I dont have to list it on the NYSE. That name could be a bitch to get a ticker symbol for ._.

As for suggestions, pick a name that has something to do with you in some way, instead of just cool sounding words.

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

Everybody Loves Raymond is Worldwide pants productions and Where's the lunch? so No Pants is not taken.

[OneThinkingGal and ._.]

Oh right o_O

There is a No Pants theatre company that comes up on google tho. I dunno if they'd care. ._.  

[Pesty]

One day I was doodling in my Algebra notes. I drew a frog. I wrote "FROG" underneath. Then I gave the frog lipstick. I wrote under the "FROG" "has lipstick". That has been my company's name ever since.

[Snake]

Electronic Farts is MINE!

Yes, Helm, I remember the first time I saw that logo, I loved it

My company name Snake Pit Entertainment revolves around my name, Snake, and my ficticious band's name, Snake Pit with just the added goodness of Entertainment.

If I was ever to join forces permanently with somebody one of these days, or even just for certain projects *coughcoughsquinkycoughcoughgag*, I'd love to name it, Old Man on the Ground Entertainment...heh, I've even got a cool logo and everything...

[gonzalezj]

The two that I really like are No Pants Productions and Grey Matter Productions. I'm pissed that Grey Matter was taken though. I've compiled another list at the top.

Thanks,

[Trapezoid]

I use Nemeburger Entertainment. I'm kinda sick of it though, so my next game might use Joyless Entertainment, which is my film "company". Or I'll just release it through Monkeygames or Screen 7 or something (if they'd want me to.)

[Squinky]

I kinda think the whole "no pants" thing is over done in this community....

And snake, if we join forces, we gotta have cool decoder rings and a secret handshake....

[gonzalezj]

I would love to join up with you, but that would defeat the purpose of this thread  

I want to try the scene by myself for a while. Squink, if I can't handle it, I'll give you a call.

I kinda think the whole "no pants" thing is over done in this community....

I have to agree with you, but I still like the idea because I have a great idea for a logo, lol.

[Flippy_D @school]

It's easy really. To make a name all you gotta do is think "adjective noun". This may lead to, amongst others;

Purple Elephant
Monkey boots
Foreign Disease
Compact textbook
Failing Democracy
Popcorn glasses (PA reference)
Iron Chimney.

Etc.
