Home Theatre Company Name

edited February 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
I'm looking at starting my own home theatre company, after working in the industry for a few years. I would like a name that is simple, easy to say, has the potential for a recognizable logo, and is modern, without being too obvious. So nothing like "premiere home theatre" or something. Any ideas?

Oh, and it will be wall mounting TV's, providing consultation on purchasing equipment, surround sound, a little prewiring, and will be all labour based, no office or retail space to begin with.

    Could you elaborate more on what your company will be doing? Is this a service, like home theater installation, TV calibration, etc? A store, either retail or on the web?

    Optique

    Edit:

    Other ideas:

    Praxin
    Zoetrope
    Lumiere

    Make sure whatever name you pick isn't already trademarked.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Just go through the dictionary and pick a word. A name isn't going to make someone go, "I should give this guy a bunch of money!" Your portfolio and advertising should do that.

    Using a term from the industry is always a good choice. Relates back to your product. Kind of a modern way of naming companies.

    Three-way Theatre Installations... :winky:

    something like that.

    Woofer. You can even register Woof.er and get a dog in the logo. Bonus: No brand confusion with Firedog.

    I like this idea.

    Then if you decide to offer sales or discounts you can set up sub.woof.er for your clearance page. :)

    This. I was trying to think of something to do with sub.woof.er, but I couldn't think of what.
