riptide?

They kill people.

Tide/Tidal Path? The guide through the turning tides of the web...or something (god, I hate writing tag lines and that nonsense)...too bad tidepath.com/tidalpath.com is taken by shitbrick domain squatters.

I think I like the word "path" too. Tidal path is better, no?

"tide" is too strong
"path" implies something to be followed. Not modest enough.

keep digging

I've always thought that if you have to tell people your creative, you probably aren't! same goes for using words like 'designs' 'websites' and other obvious that people decided to put into their urls. something original / catchy is far more likely to be memorable.

however don't fall into the trap of using any words that can be spelt in various ways or are hard to spell at all. made that mistake myself!

Go tell that to the Designers Republic.

Fair point! but I was referring to 'bobswebsitedesign' and things of that nature!

Designers Republic works because it's memorable and not over-descriptive.

I would actually think that the majority of design professionals attach their names to their products. Last name more often than not.

And calling a company "_______ Creative" isn't telling people that you're creative, it's simply saying that you provide creative services.

Tide Mark ?
Tide Eye ? (tye dye)
Skid Mark ?

how about Shining Path (ok, so its also a terrorist group....)

Causeway Creative - Find your way through.

I charge royalties.

emil · 14-07-2005, 04:02

I think you should pay the man, he's good

Do I get a small percentage of that, pat? You know, for advertising?

pgo · 14-07-2005, 05:00

I'm actually kind of stuck on "Tidal Path"...or...maybe "Tidal Span"

Stickman · 14-07-2005, 05:06

Both sound destructive - which is the opposite of creative.

emil · 14-07-2005, 05:06

please, get un-stuck

pgo · 14-07-2005, 05:06

God dammit.

How long have you been looking for a name?
It took me three weeks to settle for one that I was satisified with

What about Bob?

pgo · 14-07-2005, 05:16

Fuck it. I'm going to play Rise of Nations or something. It's my weekend, I don't need to worry about this right now.

If you changed your name and got a suitably named business partner, you could call yourselves "Flow & Eddie"...

How about Creative Flow? EbbCreative, Wave Creative, Outboard Creative (as in outboard motor - "Been left up the creek without a paddle? Should've gone with Outboard"), Rapid Creations, Clearwater Creative, Ripple Creative (Raspberry Ripples, god I loved them). Torrential Creative, BPID Creative (Bloody Pissing Down Creative) etc ...

God, Thursday's TV is shite. I'm off to the pub.

Have fun! Though I think I may do the same. Now I just need to change my name to "ebb" and meet a female web designer named "flow" and fall in love, get married, go into business, live happily ever after. The end.

Spoke to a marketing guy and asked his opinion of "Tidal/Tide Path/Span" - which are the variations I'm still stuck on. He said he liked just "Tidal" and doesn't think it sounds destructive as tides are the natural "ebb & flow" of the oceans.

Stickman · 15-07-2005, 05:11

Our survey said...
If you say "tidal" - word association stylee - I bet most people say wave.

And what's the natural ebb and flow of the ocean got to do with your business anyway? I think you've spent too much time on this and now you're lost.

Got a logo for you though: http://www.stormtothecape.co.uk
