Help with a name, folks?

Help with a name, folks?
Posted on: 27.10.2013 by Doreen Schurle
At the moment I'm collaborating with 4 other DJs and we've been trying to come up with a name for ourselves; this is my idea, but one of the guys is being a 'tard and saying it's shit, and he just said - and I quote - "go on DJTT and make a poll and say is this name good, yes or no, if not why".

So here we go, name and logo:


So yeah, if you guys could vote to settle this, that'd be great

Haha it's all good, WillBirch didn't even remember to hook up the mixer to the amplifier and I had to go down to the venue to bail him out the last time he played out

Tubular bellcore... DJ boyband; awesome.

Dude after three years of design studies I can already say with confidence that you need to go back to the drawing board. It's confusing as shit, the text is everywhere and the core concept has been done in variation a million times. Try to stay simple yet unique, and above all iconic. Clever design is the most memorable design. Also just basic things like kerning and logical type placement. The colour choices work quite well though. Go off of that!

If I seem pretentious just know I get this vocabulary from my own design professors who rip me and my designs apart daily.

Edit: Wait I forgot this was about the name. Just start over.

Sooo... if you're like very hipster look around and pick two things and put em together like "the closet lamp" or "the bread jam", you know, something that doesn't make any sense at all. If you're more serious I'd use a metaphor to describe the group's sound, you know? like if you're playing hip hop call yourself "da niggas behind da decks" or something similar, not trying to be racist btw.

Besides the name matter... 5 guys DJing? If you produce some cheesy tubular bellcore track that gets viral you'll become the first DJ boy band! How cool and scary sounds that? xD

make it based on what kind of music you play....

My solo stage name is "Von Royale" which is a play on my real name, and a mixture of my heritages (Last name "Roy" and also i'm French and Dutch)

When I had a deep house duo we were "Denizens of the Deep" which is just a large creature that lives deep in the ocean, but the name worked.

When I was in a progressive house duo, we were "Galvanized Superstars" (we we're assholes at the time) lol

My newest project is called "MDA" which stands for "Metro Disco Authority" a play on NY's Metro Transit Authority

If you play electro house try something like, "Four in the Face" or "Sound Subscription" but the key is to make it SHORT and easy to say!!

Why not make it a combination of the names of the people in your group!

Have to agree with your mate, it's pretty shit in my opinion. Not a big fan of the kid-trying-to-be-so-fucking-awesome font either, if you know what I mean. No offence obviously
Also, what does the O/0 stand for in your logo, it looks lost like this.
