How do you name/brand software?
- by JasCav
I am working on an application that is brand new. We have been using an internal name up to this point, but it's not very imaginative and is definitely not good from a branding standpoint. I have been tasked to come up with a name for the software. I am really struggling with this as every name I have thought about really doesn't seem to do the software justice. I have tried acronyms, mythology names, scientific names, etc. I may be being a bit picky, but I feel like the name should just hit me when its right. Here are my requirements:
The name has to be easy to say (and hopefully catchy).
The name has to relate back to what the software does.
The name has to be able to be branded. (For example, vivid imagery, tagline, etc.)
So, although I can't give the specifics of the software, I was hoping the brains here could provide some insight as to how I should go about naming/branding a piece of software?
