Which one do you like better?

Targeted at charities & design / ad companies.

I don't really like MaxCopywriting because even though I bought the .com and .co.uk domains a few months ago, everyone and their mothers are copywriting-something, not to mention that 1) not everyone even knows what copywriting is 2) I hope to be able to do more than copywriting eventually, and don't want to have a limiting title 3) Marty Neumer advises that a strong brand name usually has 4 syllables or less.

So far I've 2 names that seem more or less applicable. Which one do you like better? I'm open for suggestions as well!

Can you explain LoudType and CatUnboxed?

CatUnboxed: as in Schrodinger's Cat, once Unboxed we see it for what it really is. You have idea / company / brand, we make it what it really SHOULD be.
LoudType: we're loud type of people and we'll be loud for your brand / company / idea for you. We might also type loudly while we're at it.

And by "we" I mean "me" so far, tbh, haha.

How about MAX POWER.

Taken. Domain availability also a factor.

Another idea was MundiVerba (WorldWords), but 1) VerbaMundi sounds better and makes more sense but is taken 2) Not sure I want to use a dead language.

I also briefly considered calling it FAKKOFF (www.fakkoff.com) but that'd be a bit too much heh.

Only the Right Words Matter

:D:D:D

"Professor Wordington's Magical Copy Service"

MaxCopywriting is the only one that made sense to me.

For a company specializing in copywriting, shouldn't you know what sounds best?

Or do names not fall under copywriting?

Well, I'm often curious in what other people think as well.

A company's name would fall under branding, btw.

"Wordsmith and the Typey-Typeys"

CopyRite? I mean, amirite?

Note: That appears to be taken--by the "leading copyright site on the net".

The most successful (abccopywriting not withstanding) firms are just people's names (eg., Ben Locker & Associates) from what I've seen... But not really what I have in mind. And yeah, about CopyRrite, there's always The Write Copy. Competition is fierce.

Thanks to everyone who voted / commented.

Now, with logo!

Pretty hipster there.

So ironic too with that tagline.

Loco tyqe?
Iou [shovel] type?

Sorry I don't like it! It's illegible. The "L" doesn't look like an L because of the dots at the top and bottom it looks more like a stylised serif capital I. And the D... well.. it's not a D is it?

Not only that, but because it's difficult to read it doesn't really work with the word "Loud" I'd expect anyone using "loud" in their brand name to have a loud logo... bright colours, big bold text. The logo and the name just do not match up at all.

That font would be good for a children merchandise store.

that said, if you drew that by hand, please make a couple of the aforementioned readability tweaks and post the next iteration? It might be worth a couple more stabs before throwing it out or anything.

If you can afford it, hire a designer.

Your branding is what will stick with your clients. But beyond that, you want a logo that can appear in multiple sizes with potentially different (but identifiable) variants based on use. You want a logo that's identifiable and attractive down to a 16x16 favicon. You also want something that shows you can actually work with, and if necessary direct, a professional designer. The only real way to nail all of that is to hire a pro.

No idea how much it would cost tho.

I have friends that have used 99designs for side projects and gotten some surprisingly good results.

looked up, bookmarked

Likewise. Thanks for the tip.

And yes, hiring professionals for a design job's always the best course (hell, hiring a professional for anything usually beats amateur work), no argument there.

Yeah, that's why I suggested a crowdsourcing site. I'm normally suspect of such things if I hadn't seen good results second hand. It does make sense... plenty of budding designers out there with serious talent that can't charge a lot for it yet.
