I am in the process of setting something up to do freelance type work on the side (branding, copywriting, graphic design and advertising). In doing so, I find myself trying to choose between various names so that I can brand it as a studio. So, these are what I am deciding between and I would like to see which one people prefer.
1. IQVM
meaning: It's the trans-literal of the Hebrew word for "universe", "essence" and "existence". It's been said that the word itself is the idea of creation coming full circle or the end of the creative process becoming the means, and so on. I could really also just use it as an acronym such as IQ Visual Media or whatever. I also like it because it's short and pretty easy to remember. the word itself is supposed to be pronounced as "yee-koom" but I would just leave it as IQVM.2. OVLM
meaning: It's the trans literal of the Hebrew word for "world". Other than that, it just looks nice I think, is also easy to remember and type. Problem is, there seems to be a huge corporation that owns the name/domain already but I won't let that effect my decision.3. IOVM
meaning: nothing that I know of. I could probably make an acronym out of it such as
I/O Virtual Media or
I/O Visual Medium or something along those lines. It's also short and easy to remember.4. RFRSH
meaning: ReFresh. Pretty much speaks for itself. If I were doing just webdesign or some other exclusively on-screen work than I would find this one ideal. As it is now, it just seems to limited to computer or digital work.These are the three I am deciding between and am only considering one of these. Which one is most appealing to you and why? Thanks.

I can't go out in public anymore, the townspeople, they all flock to me. All asking for my autograph and they want it in blood.

And heres the awkward NT silence... the kind you see right before a mass culling of threads occurs.

dude it's your "studio". decide on your own name for it.

"dude it's your "studio". decide on your own name for it."
Consider this a focus group.

rfrsh is a rip off rprsnt.

how about "refresh" just full...
and we should point him to that thread...you know the one....
- RFRSH0
Well, rfrsh because thats what I have the domain for as opposed to refresh. Also, i don't think it's ripping anyone off by this type of spelling. Leaving out vowels from words is a pretty old practice.

you can't communicate RFRSH
• how're you going to pronounce that?
• how're you going to pick up your phone?
• always have to spell your company name
• always have to spell your e-mail addres after clients saying "WHAT?!"
• always have to spell your url after clients saying "HUH?!"

In the case of RFRSH, it would be called "ReFresh" but for all other purposes, the logotype and material would read RFRSH.
Sort of how you would spell Doctor, Dr. or Mister, Mr. or etcetera, etc. and so on. So no, i wouldn't be spelling it out and such nonsense.
In any event, that choice is the least likely one as I have other plans for it.

Just because you're Canadian doesn't give you the right to say cryptic things in my threads.

"Just because you're Canadian doesn't give you the right to say cryptic things in my threads." - that's funny!
man - you guys were up early on a sunday taking about nothing.
i like the one that means existence. what was it again QVMO? no that's not it....
- RFRSH0
well it must have made an impression on you if you can't remember how to spell it. I know 4 letters is a lot but still.
On another note, it's IQVM and it's (somehow) pronounced as yekum or yee-koom.
