New Name for IM?
5 messages in this thread
Black Belt Systems is contemplating changing the name of our image
manipulation software, "Imagemaster". The reason for this is that in the
United Kingdom, the name "Image Master" is already in use, and we cannot
market our product under the same name in that country.
We would be very interested to see any suggestions anyone might have for a
new name.
We're looking for something catchy, medium to short in length, and easy to
remember.
Any implication of martial arts is also a plus, but not required.
If we choose the name you suggest, we'll provide you with a free copy of
the program as thanks.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Name it anything but "xxxxxxxx Professional". ;^) That would make
it too long anyway.
Hmmmmm.

Sounds like an industry leader to me. Of course someone has probably
already used it.

How about "Massage"? A lot of people would buy it for the name alone, but
since massagind image data is what it does…. and it's almost a martial
art. (or a venerial art) I, for one, try to stay clear of anything with
"PRO" as part of its name. A professional recognises professional work no
matter what its called. Also, it implied there's a non-pro version of the
software, which is not true in your case (yet… I doubt you plan to
release an AMiga lo-res only version of IM) Also stay away from "Super",
"Cyber","Deluxe" and "Ultra","Mega","Mini","Micro",and "MAxi". How about
"Mighty Image" or, emphasizing the PI modules, "Public Image" (PIL might be
offended). Just a couple dozen suggestions, that's all. P.S. I like IP 8.0?
which I downloaded when I got the HAM-E box back. Thanks to the tech staff
for the fix, too!
You are most welcome. Thanks for the suggestions.
