Rebranding: New Name + Logo #2

Open chrisgonzalezbiz opened 7 years ago

chrisgonzalezbiz commented 7 years ago

We need a new brand and logo that fits with the project's goals and objectives both on the long term and short term.

Some stuff for inspiration:

What do you think about the name “Top Hat”

I kinda like it. Seems techie, simple, easy to remember “I just use Top Hat, and I got this job” “all you need to do is log into Top Hat and make a business profile”

we like pixels (makes coding and whole IT field less intimidating) we like to think of a brand as an identity (so what is the character of this brand and what movie are we on? 80s early computers scene? Or 80s in general, without pixels, like in Stranger things http://bit.ly/2lceE6W, ET, Back to the future etc.) we would like to communicate: empowerment, open doors/showing the path, P2P, economy 3.0 — You are receiving this because you were assigned.

If feels a bit generic, but it's easy to remember... But it all depends on the story behind... The mission/movie.

ninabreznik commented 7 years ago

I just figured out that all the movies I listed have some sort of mission. Stranger things, ET, Back to the future... :) So we need to develop a story first maybe and then think of the name... You know like - title comes at the end of the novel:)

This is one new JS community page. Again similar type of branding :) https://mjavascript.com/

serapath commented 7 years ago

found this funky page: https://www.foxycasino.com/featured/secrets-of-magic.html

serapath commented 7 years ago

a

I made a small PLAYLIST for some inspiration:

(click the image to open and maybe skim through)

It's kind of pixel wizard, 80s synth / disney's tron? / cyberpunk? / 3D pixel minecraft style

Maybe we can pass that stuff on to some fiver people and let them be creative

I like it. Was just wondering if someone doesn't know that wiz stands for wizard, what would their association be? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wiz

Just that we don't do another stupidity like with SquatUp 👎

ninabreznik commented 7 years ago

But I see that it can be used for wizards... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wiz&page=2

ninabreznik commented 7 years ago

I like .org. If it's not .com I would only go with .org, .ly or .io

ninabreznik commented 7 years ago

Was just thinking wiz/a/ca/de/my has 5 syllables. That's a lot. I would try to go with max 4.

Because if we decide for 5, we can still have wi/zard/a/mi/gos

or even

wi/zard/in/sti/tute and we can have both of them with .com

chrisgonzalezbiz commented 7 years ago

Hey Team,

I have not forgot about these branding suggestions. Ill be at Punspace tonight, FM message me when you get here.

Best,

CG
