.. ive been trying to think of something to call my portfolio/web pressence, since i came accross this
www.newstoday.com/pv-a...
and i just want somthing newcame accross the word;
Versute.
\Ver*sute"\, a. [L. versutus, fr. vertere, versum, to turn.] Crafty; wily; cunning; artful. [R.]
dictionary.reference.c...notice versute.com is for sale (all be it expensive)
Thoughts, suggestions ? i dunno :?

contrived
- blackspade0
yea i tend to agree
althought i like the form of the word itself, and its not exactly a comonly used word
running low on ideas, might resort to just calling myself by my real name *snore
- BZZZP0
play with some words is my suggestion... come up with something that has the right feel - like that word - but not such a haute anglais item in and of itself...
- blackspade0
cool thanks, i know what your saying. thanks for your thoughts..
sometimes I wonder if it isnt more or as contrived to name a group/company 'apple' or 'bannana republic' ..or add 'buro' to the end of your name
na' mean?
- BZZZP0
well there is always a nice simplicity to the purely functional / real names, such as "Joe Smith Design" or "Industrial Lubricant and Tube Co" ... but when successful, the technically-contrived brand can come across as clean - like apple does, for me, ... banana republic i just don't (care to) get, and i think buro is a pretty standard term in at least german...
but yes, accela, altair, audubon, binopics, etc, are all to great degree contrived
it also depends on what your name actually is - does it look good in print, is it easy to read, how does your first initial work with your last name, how does your last initial work with your first name, etc...
i think as long as you yourself feel that the thing is to a sufficient extent "pure" and "real" and "elegant" it doesn't matter which way you push it.

Versute sounds like one of those wanky designer names that try to add bogus authority whilst obscuring what the company actually does. Like "rebranding" the Post Office as "Consignia" - wtf does it mean?
Sharp Design. sounds slick!
