I plan on opening up a larger Hot Rod Design shop after college. I will do pretty much everything dealing with body work starting out, auto paint, airbrushing, body work, etc. As of now I do this work for a few friends, and I really want to get my name out there. I am planning to go ahead and register the business ASAP and get a site up ASAP.

I have been trying to get a name for business for a little more than a year, but I have a hard time coming up with anything. I recently had chosen Lucky 7 Designs as my business name, but the domain, and company name are registered already to a guy out in San Fransisco, California.

Below is the smaller list of names that I am thinking of, its a never ending list. The old list used to be 4 pages front and back.

A lot of those names are names for auto paint style companies, my main part of the business will be hot rod fabrication and design. The ones in Red are either taken or I just dont like them. The ones in gray, are ok, not great, not bad.

Please post any names that you come up with, I will continuely edit/update this post with new names and no-no's.

Custom Designs
Extreme Designs
Innovative Designs


And a no-no: Raging Dynamics. Too close to Racing Dynamics (BMW tuner)


Good luck with the buisness!

(you might have the impression im out of ideas...)

On a sarcastic note, Oompa Loompa Designs.

On a serious note...My main feature of the business will be custom designed and fabricated hot rods.

Raging customs
Mike's custom rides
Hot rods by Mike
killer Kustoms

.


If you chose one of my ideas, Will you give me a free deuce coupe? (I'm serious)

On a sarcastic note, Oompa Loompa Designs.

The fact that you mentioned an oompa loompa gives me a mental picture of how you would look. :)

oh, and for serious now. How bout':

Ask Mike.

or

Let Me Know If You Need Anything Customz

:smokin:

the flaming deuce!
wait uhhhhh

west coast customs

Extreme Rod Designz (ERD)
Almighty Desigz (AD)
Intense Hotrod Illusions (IHI)

eh iuno

Temporary Permanent Designs? Sounds cool but I want to incorporate a spade into the logo.

wait wait, howa bout SUPER RODDERS EXTREME

Yea thats sounds perfect go with that...

Definitly

there is a place like you are trying to start next to where i live. its called HOT ROD EXPRESS. if you start this business don't charge an arm and a leg to put on a body kit though.

how about.

straight ace customs
four of a kind design (then you can say your car was "four of a kind designed!"...kinda got a catchy ring to it)

an ace in the design :loser:

...
how about.

straight ace customs
...

That is fucking cool. So cool I had to curse. That Straight Ace part really sticks out.

Straight Ace Designs?

Straight Ace Syndicate?

Straight Ace Rod Stars (SARS :lol:)

Almighty Desigz (AD)
Hey AD, My initials!

Hey AD, My initials!

Cross that one off the list...

So, by any chance is your name Alex Dumas (pronounced Dumb-ass)

I like Straight Ace too...

I also still like:

http://img47.exs.cx/img47/165/deathrodz.gif

And Ace'n the Hole

Luckily for Mike, I was able to give him the idea for the extreme use of spades in just about everything, or else we'd have nothing so far...

:lol:

http://img47.exs.cx/img47/165/deathrodz.gif



How many times do I need to tell you Tim? I dont want to use your self portrait as my logo. :lol:

I don't think you appreciate how hard it is to paint yourself with no mirror.

alright...

As for serious
as for the list you provided, I like ace designs the best. (i tried to narrow it down to one name so you don't have to choose.)

Since you want to incorporate a spade in the logo, how about ace of spade customs or something? Castback's one sounds cool: straight ace customs.

On a funny note: how about something with your name or another word included in the mix.... like, Mikelusions, or Acelusions :biggrin:
Also: how about extreme designs? (E.D.) :)

I still think Oompa Loompa Customs or Willy Tonka's Hot Rod Factory kicks ass. The dress code is you have to look like an oompa loompa and only be 4feet tall.

On a serious note though, right now I am sticking to Straight Ace Designs. Now to come up with a logo, then register it. However, if anybody still has ideas please post them

this one might alienate some people but Hell Raising Customs, or hrc sounds good to me.

some others:

mike's outrageous customs, m.o.c

but i would really look at ace designs, it is simple and sounds kind of elegant

Aren't you glad I gave you the "Ace" idea? Aren't ya Mike?

And I kinda like Willy Tonka's Hot Rod Factory. Although several large men might come and kick your ass when they heard about it.

i need a logo too, but nothing to serious, mayb
Ace AutoDesigns

no actually take the s out: Ace AutoDesign, ya i like that

This entire thread is filled with the corniest, worst jokes ever.

:disappoin

Everyone is stealing my ACE!!! Get your own ideas! Thieves!

Im having a really hard time coming up with a logo for Straight Ace Design.

Dammit I wish I could have the Lucky 7 Design name...

What about Super Seven Design?

Since I really like that Lucky 7 Design but the name is already taken, what do y'all think about:

Lucky Seven Creation(s)?
Lucky Seven Conception(s)?

7 of spades! (It's your avatar!)

7 of spades! (It's your avatar!)

My avatar is actually my logo for LuckSevenDesign, but since thats taken I guess its the logo for LuckySevenConception.

You could have...
lucky "7th gear".
Mike's "REV"olution.
Cre"ACE"ive Rods.
R"ACE" of spades.
Rods r us.

You can tell i'm runnin out of ideas, but if another pops into my head, ill be sure to post it :D .

:)

how about magic 7 design?

:)

evolution seven design?
evolution seven conception?
seventh evolution design?
seventh evolution conception?

Or MagikSevenCreation(s) and you could style out the font and use a stylish colour scheme. i think it should work, quite catchy also
so there you go -------------->>>MagikSevenCreations<<<---------------

I think that it should say something about hot rods

What do you think about these names (real business, not names for mine) then?

Foose Design (do I need to explain?)
Exile (chopper builder)
Dominator Motorsports (have nothing to do with racing, they are show rod builders)
Hot Match Designs (chopper builder)

I could continue if neccesary. Im not trying to shoot your idea, but wouldnt it be better to have the mind wonder a little?

Ace'n the Hole...

Ace'n the Hole...

:iagree:

hehe :iamwithst:

smokin sevens designs/customs ?

Yes, but if you don't state what your company is about, few people will remember it.

True, but if it is just,
Mikes hot rod shop...
It has no commercial appeal. Something like Straight Ace Customs is a name that people will remember and yet it states that you are into doing custom work...

having the word ace in the name or logo is also pretty corny. So people might remember it for its corniness, resulting in them not wanting to give it (the hot rod shop) business. but that's just my opinion

Here's somemore

BLING-BLING CUSTOMS
RODS 4 REAL
ULTIM-ACE RODS
"DA-BEST" CUSTOMS

What you tink Mike? You diggin 'em?

:)

No offense, but this isnt the ghetto-izer shop like West Coast Fuck'ems (I mean customs).

I had planned on going with LuckySevenConception but my uncle says it sounds like a sex shop...

I'd like to run something along the lines of Lucky 7 (insert word here).

How about Ace High Innovations or Ace High Racing? I think it sounds cool.

ghetto-izer was good, but then you blew it.

c'mon...you know i'm not into ghetto blasting ridez with 1000 spoke rims but you can do better. i believe in you mike...lucky mike...lucky 7 mike...


lucky7 is overdone...not original...i dont know why you'd want it...but it's not my company...

ummm...lucky 7 ....

lucky 7 monkey shop
lucky 7 hippo machine
lucky 7 rod designs
lucky 7 hot designs
lucky 7 hot rod designs

im pretty creative, but not when it comes to logos :)

Lucky 7 Conception is better...

forget i ever posted.

please don't use lucky seven in your name.... http://www.lucky7customs.com/

please don't use lucky seven in your name.... http://www.lucky7customs.com/

I am familiar with Lucky 7 Customs.

The reason I want to have Lucky 7 in the name is because I already had a logo for it...

Now I'm fucked, so many companies have Lucky 7 or Lucky 13 in their name. This is pissing me off, I need something catchy, original, "elegant", and something I can make an identifiable logo out of. (i.e. The Maltese cross from West Coast Choppers, or the OCC Bike logo. I know you all are familiar with those).

Or the Bad Ace of Bad Ace Design...

What's wrong with ghetto? :D
