In one of you recent postings you stated: JEC > I am planning on changing my company name. What a pain in the *ss! JEC > Do you have any neat words that start with 'M' ?? JEC > — James E. Coulter — M________ Animation Productions — Mr. Coulter, I take it you have some kind of interesting logo with the letters M A P. I've contemplated your query and came up with the following: Obvious: Memorable Mythical Magical Magickal Mystical Mystickal MissTickle Mind-blowing Mind-bending Mind-expanding -> (MagicMushroom) Cashing in: Mercenary Animation Productions Cashing in on the turn of the century: Millenium Animation Productions No Holding these guys back: Maniac Animation Production MadHouse Animation Productions MammaJamma Animation Productions Recognizing the source of your creativity: MindMine Animation Productions Mind-Mine Building on change: Metamorphic Building on Speed: Mach5 Animation Production The All American Appeal of a Roadside cafe on the Information SuperHiway: Mom's Animation Productions Building on Gary Yost's view of the Mutant Transformation of our world: Mutagen MediaMutant Animation Productions MediaMorph Animation Productions Mutant Animator Production MyGawd! It's another Mind Mine from Kevin Gibson Animation Nation <tm> P.S. As soon as you do decide on a name, GO TRADEMARK on CompuServe and check to see if its already in use. Then secure an application from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, fill it out, send it in with $245. Get back to animating.

Wow, thanks for all those great ideas, Kevin!! You know, you thought of several of the same names I did. >> I take it you have some kind of interesting logo with the letters M A P. << Actually, no. I just really like the acronym MAP. It is easy to remember, and fits in with the whole texture map, reflection map, bump map, etc. terms associated with animation. The downside to the name (spelled out) is that it is long with many sylables. So, along with the "M" names, I am also considering some short, one-word names. I am also hoping to get some good out of this grief. It will give me a chance to do an overal image uplift (and an excuse to send mail to all of my customers :-). >> (MagicMushroom) << Ha! Do you read any Castaneda !? >> Mercenary Animation Productions << This is great. I wonder, though, if my customers would show up requesting tactical animations of enemy installations. "We're going to take out the SGI camp . . ." 🙂 >> Cashing in on the turn of the century: << >> Millenium Animation Productions << This one has some serious potential. It is now a top contender!! >> No Holding these guys back: Maniac Animation Production MadHouse Animation Productions << <ROFL> >> MammaJamma Animation Productions << Say that ten times really fast! <G> >> Mach5 Animation Production << I thought of one with "Mach" too. It has an interesting ring to it. >> Mom's Animation Productions << But they are not Mom's, they are mine!! <BG> >> Mutant Animator Production << Probably the most descriptively correct name so far -;), but my customers might be afraid to look at me! Seriously, thanks for sparking up some new ideas for me. It is easy to get burned out on the whole name thing. After a while, nothing sounds right. Thanks for the info on the CIS database too. That will be helpful when I finally make a decision. — James E. Coulter — M________ Animation Productions —

Maybe I should have kept it to myself! What a cool name…Monster Multimedia! I'll try POP! for a while longer… Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta
#133345From: Kevin C. GibsonNov 4, 1994 2:42 AM
Brent. POP! Definitely! It immediately reminded me of how they demo'ed the IPAS routines by blowing everything up. It would serve you well if you produced interactive Point Of Purchase kiosks. POP! Kiosks. I didn't know you were in Hotlanta. I imagine you checked in last week at the show. POP! Multimedia Take care man. I'm sure I'll see ya around. KG

Yeah, I was there for a couple of afternoons…bought the Bousquet series of books, the upgrade for Animator Studio ($150!), joined NAAUG, and bought the t-shirt. They really emptied me out! I with there was more 3D oriented stuff there. Heavily CAD oriented. POP! doesn't refer to a type of marketing…refers to a certain rather obscure rock star. See ya, Brent Bonet

Brent: PMJI /__________From your message___________\\ POP! doesn't refer to a type of marketing…refers to a certain rather obscure rock star. __________________________________________ My first guess would be Iggy Pop but he's not that obscure. How about Pop Will Eat Itself? Actually, there was a band from LA called The Pop but they're possibly too obscure. How about the Pop Group, a seriously angry British punk band (These guys put out records like 'For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder')? Doubtful that you'd refer to an obscure NJ band, Pop-O-Pies, but they did have a humorous tune, 'The Catholics Are Attacking'. Alright, Brent, I give up who's the dude?

I loved the Pop-O-Pies. They had an album photo of them punching Jerry Garcia in the face – he actually did pose for the picture and was a fan of theirs. John "make this batch with extra grease, this one's for the chief of police" Tissavary | LUNA cie, inc

Well, Bob…judging by your taste in music, the Igster might not be obscure but to your ordinary Joe….You win the big prize. Actually I never should have given up the secret. Let's just keep it between you and me. DOH! This is public! Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta

Nope, it's from Lust for Life!! Actually I picked up TV Eye Live on CD today. It's in my quest to produce "Iggy Interactive". I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be upset when they download this thread on Monday! Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta
