New Production Company Name ???

[TrashyContent]

I am about to create a new website... it is for a Production company we are going to create to shoot exclusive video for sale on a VOD basis...

I have three names we purchased over a year ago... I like them all in one way or another... but would like people's opinions on what one to go with...

DickHeadFilms.com

CockTeaseFilms.com

HardOnFilms.com


I want to get a nice logo made for them... and probably a cartoon character to represent the brand... What do you guys reckon ?

[closer]

HardOnFilms.com is my fav of the 3

[DamianJ]

None of them really fit what you are doing with the production company, do they?

How about:

contentforVOD.com
VODbespokecontent.com
customcontentforVOD.com
exclusivevodcontent.com

they are all available

?

FUCK OFF CUNT ! j/k in reference to cunning stunts thread... but seriously none of the above are remotely good ! I thought you was in like PR or something...

How long are those domain names lol ! As Closer said... for a reason !

I am creating a BRAND... and I think the ones I posted are BRANDABLE, I actually am edging towards DickHeadFilms... however I am not sure how the term DickHead translates in the good old US...

It is not about how we serve the content... ie VOD, it is about the BRAND NAME associated with the production... I mean PLAYBOY is a brand right, it's not a discription of what they sell or how they sell it ! Damn did you just get schooled ?

Hey Otto... yeah I am tossing up between DICKHEAD and HARDON... and I am thinking Hard On translates better for our US cousins lol... Maybe when they wake up later they can tell me...

I also have to ask you... are you the girl in the pic ? I seen you with loads of different display pics, and not sure if they are you or not... thought I better ask before I say "How You Doiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg !"

I guess it is subjective. I think dickheadfilms is appallingly bad and I also think that trying to work a brand around a few domains you happen to have isn't so good business move either.

Anything is brandable. You just need to apply basic brand principles to it. Something I rarely see anyone in adult do. When was the last time you saw a Brand Bible or Style Guide for a porn company?

In the content delivery game, I would suggest having a domain name that gives you a leg up on google would be a good idea. No one types in DICKHEADFILMS to google.

This might be useful reading for you:

"Branding is a way of clearly highlighting what makes your product or service different to, and more attractive than, your competitors'.

A brand goes much deeper than just your company logo.

The intelligent use of design, advertising, marketing, service proposition, and corporate culture can all help to generate associations in people's minds that will benefit your business.

Branding is your attempt to harness these associations to help your business perform better. Any business or organisation can benefit enormously by creating an accurate brand, ie one that represents their true values. Therefore, it is important to always be clear about what your business stands for."

More

I would certainly suggest a Ronseal approach (does what it says on the tin) would be something that could differentiate you from other content providers.

It should be used as a transparant and global brand summing up exactly what you do so people are under no illusion as to the service you offer.

The trouble with launching a new brand in porn is that there is so little standout. Most companies look the same. You could swop out any logo on any ad in AVN and no one would notice.

Therefore, taking a totally transparent approach (ExclusiveVODContent) would give you that stand out.

Of course, if you prefer an English idiom that will not translate overseas and is something that is derogatory, then cool. Maybe that is the look you are going for, pardon my mistake.

Was just trying to offer some other thoughts. If they are not wanted, cool. But it seems strange to ask for opinions and then slag off someone for having the audacity to actually do what you asked for.

All the best

Of the 3, I like HardOnFilms

Nope. Can't actually remember where this one came from, must have seen it somewhere and thought it was avatar material. Going to have to get my name changed to mr_otto to stop confusing people.

[Grapesoda]

this is open 'sexdeliveryfilms.com'

[grumpy]

i would prefer dickheadmovies

[pornlaw]

If you are truly trying to create a "brand" chose a less porny name.

Part of having a brand is being able to protect that brand. The names you listed will be very difficult to get a US Trademark for. The USPTO often rejects TMs that contain words that are too sexual or vulgar. You may be able to secure a TM for DickHead Films but its going to cost a lot $.

And since DickHead is a common term you will still have difficulty protecting the trademark if you do.

Good-luck.

So DICKHEAD is a term used in the USA then ? Interesting...

Maybe I used the BRAND a little out of place, not sure it would grow to the point where I wanted to TM it... maybe if we did we would then have the money to do so... or come up with a brand inside a brand...

Such a long reply... can I get cliff notes ?

First off, no we're not trying to fit a business around a couple of domains we have... Around a year ago we come up with the idea of what we wanted to do, we searched for good names... obviously the first 100 we come up with were indeed gone... however we found the 3 above and we like them (as you said it's all subjective)

Of the three I prefer DICKHEAD as I have said, just want to know if it's a word people know in the USA and if so in what capacity... it's a very close call with HARD ON FILMS in my opinion...

So to clarify... we had the business idea first, and then sought out names we felt were good. As I said we are looking to create a name people associate our production with... we will then sell it on a number of ways... I do not want to put VOD in the url... as it will not only be VOD...

Wow "appallingly bad" lol... subjective ? constructive critism ? lol... at the end of the day who know's when/if a name takes off... "google" for example, I mean WTF !? I prefer my GoYay.com for a search engine, heard of it ? lol...

Talking of what it says on the tin, can you get any more better than HARD ON FILMS then ???

Anyways I dont want to get into a argument and added to your hit list... I dont agree, it's all about opinions I guess... I might launch it has DICKHEAD or HARDON and not doing anything... you might launch something with watchourVODandcomelikeamuddafucker.com and be a millionaire Rodney... I mean Damian

Sure, don't be so rude when you ask for advice and you get an opinion you dislike.

Oh no can I expect you to piss on all my threads now... I asked which one of the three people thought I should go for... not someone to come in a slam them... especially with such flawed logic lol... you gave some alternatives which to put it bluntly were shit !

So sorry if I dont want to take your jedi ninja guru skills... good luck with your PR company
