I have decided after much talk and decision that I am going to start my own company that deals with website and graphic design as a side project. I have several clients loaded up and I don't even have a portfolio or company name yet!

So I am thinking that I may go with something hockey related and wanted to see if any of you had any ideas.

I looked at maybe PowerPlayDesigns.com but that seems too generic. I also thought about Blue Line Designs but that is odd too.

I also thought about going wacky with something like Stupid Monkey Designs or maybe even Flying Monkey Designs. I like the name Fat Penguin Media but that has already been taken by another website that I know of.

So any ideas?

I'd like it to either have media or design somewhere in it.

Help me out!

How about "Virtual Daredevil"? That name would indicate that you'd be innovative and wouldn't hesitate to try new things fearlessly.

for hockey related: Iced Design, Top Self Design (although that can be interprited differently), Frozen biscuit

goofy one: the obvious (also hockey related) Flying V design

You're kidding, right? Right? RIGHT?

(I think that might drive away business, haha.)

LOL, at least it's not Too Many Men Productions. The motto can be, "Because you can never have too many men!"

very true

I also thought about Blue Line Designs but that is odd too.

Considering it's also a link to what proof used to be (blue lines), I kind of like it.

I decided to go with Valo Studios since Valo in Finnish means Light and I am okay with that.

(for those that didn't know, I am 100% Finnish.)

First you´re 100% duck and then Finnish .

Marshy all the best for your own company. And the name is cool. I like it:)
Reminds me a little on Half-Live.

[Marshy]

thedux02, do you still have your own design co? i remember seeing a website in your sig before.

[Barmy Army]

Good luck with your new venture Marshy I'm sure it'll be a success, I've always been impressed with your style & creations on here and your other boards.

Adam-

How much do you charge? I need some graphic help, if you don't mind.

[OrangeDucky]

I like Flying Monkeys, personally!

How about Dancing Pucks Designs? Or Tooth In Puck Designs? Or if you really want outside the box, Break-Dancing Pucks Designs.

I really am no good at coming up with names for things. I wish you well!

thedux02, do you still have your own design co? i remember seeing a website in your sig before.

No I never had one. But I was thinking about it. In Germany it´s difficult to start your own company. And I don´t have enough talent and time to start one.
I respect anyone who does it.

[Stuntman]

How about....Shootout Designs or Two Minute Designs (yeah, the non-hockey fans might not figure it out that quick)

[Marshy]

VEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY basic website up so far....

you didn't even use any name that is related to hockey,
at least you thought of a name. valo? as in villie valo from HIM?

[Marshy]

I was going to use Blue Light Studios but that has already been taken and I tried every name that I could agree with when it came to hockey. None of them were available that I liked.

I went with Valo because it's an easy to spell word, it's Finnish for "Light" and I am Finnish (also live in a high Finn area of Minnesota), and yes, I do enjoy the style of HIM so it couldn't be any more perfect.

[LightItUp4126]

Meh I'm no marketing agent, but here's my stab at it lol

Marshy's Talent Circus of Design
The Technicolor Dream Co.
De Stijl New Media
Halftone Graphics

[Marshy]
