Leather Brand name

[Big Dave]

Trouble with Quasi is it means , not like or the subject is not, for example Im Quasi evil, which means Im not evil get it so would Quasi work on leathers ? it would or could mean not leathers get it ?

Matters not a jot what it means - it has to be memorable.

QUASIMOTOS

for mine.

and i'd do something like this for a logo

Fuck me did you do that ?? how cool, do ya think people would wear a name that signifies uglyness though ??

hmm... not very creative meself, so I'll help from another angle.

It sorta depends how big you think you are going to get in the near future? Perhaps you might end up with a website (doesn't necessarily have to take orders, could be a static info site). In which case you would need a name that is preferably available to register.

Most of the popular brands at the moment are one word (Spidi, Oxtar, Teknic etc etc), and not an acronym and relatively easy to pronounce.

Just a few bits to think about...

Second skin or Xecond skin isn't a bad from that person...

maybe even Xecond. got the X you like, second could mean racetrack, second skin, only takes you a second to do something... etc.

Then again it could mean you are second not first...

Go for it man.
Just think if you were a govt department that would have cost us at least a $250,000.00

Yeah - 5 minute job.

Indeed - thats its point of difference and the main point.

My mantra:

"Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read." - Leo Burnett, quoted in 100 LEO's,


It's leather for bikers - if that's not an excuse to go gothic or genX i don't know what is. look how many people are wearing west coast choppers iron crosses - i am

I'd even use a tortured/distressed drawing of notre dam as the graphic and the cartoon hunchback biker in a brando jacket.
(it even infers some 'euro' style.)

think 'down the line' - tee shirts, stickers, it's all branding and it's much snappier if ya got a gimmick.

and remember - advice is worth what you pay for it.

What you don't want to do is have the thing as descriptive. DON'T call it
"Quasi's Motorbike Leathers"
Do call it "Fliblerarowr"

If you call it something descriptive it is REALLY hard to trademark it -

I like:
RideHide
HogSkins
Rashers
Slipstream

Wholey crap man, I see what you mean... 5 pages and counting on suggestions for your leathers, your a bloody KB guru!

[Macktheknife]

CRUST - (as in hard outer part i.e earth crust, bread crust or hard outer shell of a CRUSTation (sp)) *which could become crusty leathers *

NO that would be on the INSIDE!!!! *yucky*

[Macktheknife]

SlickSkinz, Freeskin, bikesknz, QML leathers, sknrs.

[Quasievil]

Yeah - 5 minute job.

Well I appreciate those comments Big Dave, very cool work as well , if its a 5 minute job do you want to design me something once it settles to a result ??
make it worth your while

[Waylander]

BIGGLESWORTH LEATHERS!!!!!



And if not, I kinda like the QuasiMoto thing.

[FROSTY:Me]

red devil leathers. -- the pitchfork as your motif -simple yet striking

Yeah Sure - I really need another pair of size 48 pants

There are certainly some other worthwhile suggestions.
as I said - look ahead and choose something that you can hang a gimmick off.
be it clever, a pun, whatever.

vhen you are deciding vee negotiate off ze line zen.

I have to say out off all of them I have seen so far I like the weta idea and also the Quasimoto idea aswell. It is really funny how quickly a name looses its original meaning to that of the product the name has been applied to. What do you think when you hear Billabong, small pool of water or a surfboard?? 9 out of 10 people will think of a surfboard. If you have a conversation about a new product that you are interested in by the end of the convo you will associate the name with the product not its original meaning.
