Check my new webdesign

Friday, August 13, 2004 by Styl-X Design | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I would like a honest opinion about my new webdesign. Don't comment on spelling, I know, will be fixed in 2 day when it goes 'official'.

Thanks. Also, if you see any flaws in code/design, let me know.

They are all nice but I want the name to have a bit of 'professional' look. It wont be 'just me' creating some skins, this far we have 3 people on a regular basis and this will probably become 5 people.

Not sure, waiting for a responce from Treetog... if he dasn't want it thats ok, then it will probably become skinformation. You can build a really strong identity arround the information "I"...

I see that you decided to go with Syndicate with a Y.

I'm not impressed. Whatever, your business. But I can't say that your company rate very high in my esteem so far.

No, it isn't skyndicate.

There are 2 names now in consideration,

1: Skinformation
2: Skinspiration

The ones that I liked from the other thread...
SkinWorks
SkinFoundry
PixelMagic
The Craft
Design Bureau
PixelWorks

Of those my favorites are Design Bureau and The Craft, both convey a professionalism and leave you pretty much wide open to what type of graphics work you can do. Having "Skin" in the name kind of pigeon-hole's your business in the minds of others as just focused on skinning. Also glad to hear you've decided to change the name

There once was a thread over at skinz, that has hundreds of made up words with "skin" in it. Too bad you can't view that no more. Might have given you some inspiration.

Kind of has a point there... are you doing branding? If you are you 'should' be able to come up with something. No offense to Skindicate, but that sounds more "mob" style than business style. (even the tag line is leaning to that point)

Plus if many people who give you business doesn't even know what skinning is then why have the word "skin" in your name?

I wold advise looking into the pro field of marketing management (as opposed to just looking at skin sites) to get some ideas of what your specifically focusing on. What are your core business competences in? What are your core skills? What is the difference between just hiring a skin author and going for a skin company? What is the difference bewteen you and another skin company?

When you look into these things you might have a better idea of what to call yourself. The name I chose for a company that skins doesn't have 'skin' in it at all.

Are you consulting? marketing? designing? packaging? web design? brand identity, logo design?

Personally, I think you have many words to use that would be very cool and very business like. My advise is to not use the word "skin" anywhere in the name. It will trap you into "a" category and if you decide to grow you might not have much room.
(This is why it is so hard to come up with a name that you will be using.)


I hope that helps.

BTW:
I like what Essencay said:

PixelMagic
The Craft
Design Bureau
PixelWorks

And to add to it:
The Design Studio
Pixel Designs
Unique Identity
The Brand Design
Pixel Branded
Bandit Works
Monopoly Designs (leaning more to that crime thing...)
Business Bureau
Grand Unique Identity (GUI for short...)
GUI Works
Interface Art
