Hey everybody. See that little green thing just to the left here? That’s right, you’ve got a chance to win this 2GB Green iPod shuffle! If you don’t know about the iPod shuffle or you’re saying to yourself, why would I want an iPod shuffle? You can head over to the Shuffle page at Apple and take a look. You’ll notice that it’s small and compact, perfect for on the move. I know there are many colours to choose from, but there is a reason that I’m offering a Green one. Although it does look exceptionally cool, it’s more relevant of what I’m asking of you all…
Ok, so here’s the deal. I’ve decided to start getting back into my design work, including but not limited to web design, logo design etc. Ii’ve got a plan worked out, but the problem I’m having is… coming up with a name for, i guess you could say, the ‘business’. I’ve had a couple of ideas, but it’s hard to come up with something that is unique, interesting, available in domain registration and available for business name registration. It seems that everything I’ve come up with so far is taken in some aspect and sends me back to the drawing board. This is where you come into it…
I’m giving one lucky person the great opportunity to name my new business identity and if chosen, be the winner of a green iPod shuffle! Even if I don’t choose your idea directly, I may choose to follow the direction of your idea in which case you will still be awarded the prize! Here’s the scope: I want to be able to provide design products and services to everyone and anyone that needs it at reasonable prices, and I want to provide these products with the client’s products hopefully being carbon neutral. Hence the green.
Yes, computers, websites and the internet do use energy, directly and indirectly. Carbon offsetting these products means offsetting the the computers used to create the products as well as the servers that hold their websites to reduce their carbon footprint. Think about facebook, which is just such a huge website… Well somewhere in the world, there are servers (like big computers) that are turned on 24/7 to make sure people can access it. That is a lot of computers that never get turned off and use up a large amount of energy, not to mention the millions of people that access it everyday using their own computer.
So that’s basically it. That’s my idea. But yep, can’t think of a name. That’s the only thing holding me back so far. So… do you think you’ve got what it takes? Think you can come up with a unique, interesting business name for me? If so, you can email me: rjcoutts (at) gmail (dot) com (replace the at and the dot of course) or you can leave your idea in the comments…
Thanks for reading! Hope you can come up with something new and fantastic!
Cheers.
