I have been completely stuck for the last year on a good business name for my design services. It hasn’t been a big deal since usually I just do design on a volunteer basis for organizations and people I know. But I’m shifting more to the business side, and actually just finalized my major first deal with a local business for their website (well, it’s major for me anyway:D ). So, now I really want to establish a strong identity. I guess my question to your guys is, where did some you get inspiration for your business name and identity? Everything I seem to come with either seems to have nothing to do with design or sounds like so many other generic names.
