TalktoChuck Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So I am in the process of starting a skateboard company that also designs clothes. But I am stuck on a name. I want something short and easy to remember, but is also catchy. Any ideas you guys could throw out would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbutler66 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 How about Chuck?Is a cool skate/surf type name, similar to huck... catchy t shirt, ad slogans "chuck it.." )one problem is that it may infringe the Barfoot brand perhaps?SteveMy intellectual property can be bought for a tee or a deck ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockngoalie1 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 What type of boards are you manufacturing? Do your boards have a lot of pop? Are they made for hills or ramps? What is your target demographic?I'd stay away from anything related to the lingo of the culture, they sometimes sound a bit too cheesy.

Bleujayone Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just a list of ideas for alternatives. Skateboard slang (dunno if any of these are already branded). most of which you probably already know- mostly I'm defining them for non-skaters. Mongo- to push off with the opposite foot; it's also the name of Ming the Merciless's planet in Flash Gordon so you could have a 1950's-esque space logoVert (or Vertical)- the act of skating in a parkSlaughter- to bust a trick; logo could have a blood spatter to suggest an injury sustained from stuntwork OR an actual slaughterLedge- Concrete for grindingRail- Metal for grindingDirtpile- the act of doing something forbidden Shred- to do something wellRadical/Hammmer/Banger- all words referring to an excellent execution of tricks or show of skill We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 King Rail. The name comes from a small marsh bird but it sure sounds like a skateboard brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 So right now the front runner is Axel, but I don't wnat to hurry into a name before I'm sure thats the one I wnat.

PhilliesPhan1325 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Axel and King Rail are good. But Telic sounds good for some reason.And maybe some discounted stuff for CCSLC members when this comes out? "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!" J M yoU wish you had a Duke Dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 You an Avril Lavigne fan? sk8rboi, perhaps? I don't know if this is sk8erboi lingo or not, but I've heard the phrase "hang ten" tossed around amongst those who ride boards. Would that work? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Because I really like birds, naturally I would go with King Rail... but, keep in mind if you go with that that a King Rail isn't a typically 'cool' bird like a hawk or falcon or something; it's a silly, cute waterbird. Of course, you could use it effectively as a symbol/logo whatever, but if that is not the direction you're going for you may not want to use it.Here's a reference pic.
