A clever name for a home repair business?
Sugestions wanted.
Tuesday, February 18, 2014 by JuniorCrooks | Discussion: Community
So I have some extra time on my hands and decided to start a home repair business. I know there are a lot of clever and imaginative members here that are great with naming things such as skins so I thought it made sense to ask for your help. Can you think of a clever home repair name. I am trying to avoid something with handyman.
I can't wait to hear what you come up with.

Whatever is pleasing to you is fine...
I'll organize the psd and send you a link later. I'd talk with a graphics person though, before I proceeded
with actual printing, etc. I'm a total amateur and this is something you really want to get right. These graphics would certainly
give him/her a good starting point as to what you want, though.

That got it Doc. I have a friend that can check it out but I think you did a great job. I owe you one.

Ken and syd, thanks. From the heart.
I used supposedly free clip art via Google image search for free clip art. I didn't bother examining all the TOU's because the images are partially covered, and no one's using them for commercial gain. I do want that clear. While the collage is my work, the images themselves are not. I only did this to help you crystallize ideas and to encourage folks to play with graphics and Photoshop.
You truly need professionals - graphics and consultants...the stuff I did is truly amateurish - they have zillions of images they've paid for, etc. They also know one helluva lot more about graphics than I do. I suggested Lesa Snider for very good reasons. She'll put together a product that'll make mine look like etch-a-sketch...which it would be next to hers. She teaches Ps, is a photographer, lectures about it at Mac Week and other really impressive places...like Julianne Kost, Dave Cross, Ben Willmore, Khara Plicanic. They are the instructors on creativeLive.
I only hope she doesn't hit me when she takes one look at what I did and barfs.
Please do right by yourself. OK?

Doc thanks for the contact but as I mentioned I have a friend that lives close to me that is a great graphic artist and he will do something for me for free. I could have asked him to do me something from scratch but he is really busy right now. I would also like to use your work so I am sure he can take it and do any necessary tweaks.

Doc I think you got it. The only thing I might change is moving the Restore up or moving Renovate down so there is even space between the words. Sorry, I am not only a perfectionist with my work but with my advertising too.
