As the graphic design business picks up and is becoming more and more viable as an actual legitimate source of income, I’m devoting more time to learning more advanced techniques like CSS and the like. I’ll soon be (re)designing and (re)launching my freelance graphic design site (currently here).
But I need your help coming up with a great name for my new and budding company. If you often find yourself thinking “that would be a great band name!” then I’d love for you to put that same creativity towards helping me come up with a name for my design co. Some guidelines… it should be something that I can depict graphically, it should be brief.
So to the winner will go an iPod shuffle (color is your choice of course!). Be sure to give me your email address along with your name idea. I won’t give out any iPods to “anonymous.”
[Update: Brandon McDonald won the Shuffle.
The name will be Red Coyote Studio.]

What if you borrow a version of someone elses suggestion, i.e. ‘iconic design’ would be my other suggestion. Who wins?
Okay, so I totally didn’t see that some else had already suggested Imago Design. I still think it’s a winner! But, who is the infamous “pseudonym?” And how could he/she ever prove it. It’s a sad state of affairs.
