I have noticed that this is a new trend in advertising/design company naming. Call me old school but I still enjoy a good BBDO or DDB. However I completely understand why this trend is happening. 1) Advertising agencies are seen just a notch above lawyers and both use the partners on the door, so in order to separate ourselves from them the better. 2) Partners change. If partners change and the company’s philosophy why should the company keep the founders name. 3) Partners names are hard to pronounce: Kohnke Hanneken or Bogusky. Look at SKAR (Smith Kaplan Allen & Reynolds), people know them as SKAR and not the four partners. They got lucky with that abbreviation.

Band Name to Design Firm Name: Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, Paramore, The Starting Line, New Found Glory, Cartel

Design Firm Name to Band Name: Cutwater, Element 79, Dave and Goliath, Love and War, Stick and Move, Kinetic, Tequila, 180, 72andSunny, Droga5

And then their is June; a month, an ad agency and a band.

I didn’t want to go by my own name when I started my design firm. I wanted something that I could work with locally, but at the same time have a name that people outside of Nashville could think is catchy and sort of cool.

my final choice: studio nashvegas.

Design Firm that could be a band: SeventhMan
Band that could be a Design Firm: Muse.
