How to Name a Graphic Design Business
Curate a list of graphic design related words
If you need some advice on how to come up with a graphic design business name then my first tip is to curate a list of words related to the services you will be offering like logo design, printing, or animation. To get you started I have looked through thousands of company names to come up with a few initial themes.
- All the colors of the rainbow — One of the main tools at the disposal of every graphic designer is color. Every design you make will be filled with color. The best part is there are so many unique words to choose from like vermilion, seafoam and juniper.
- Different design tools — A popular choice for any business name is to include the materials or tools you might use as a brand. As a digital designer you will be using a point and click to move around a pixel or two. Every designer needs a canvas and ink.
- Refer to vision and imagination — Graphic designers offer creativity as a service. You are selling your imagination. You can use words like mind, vision and dream, and even adjectives that pair with those like vivid, bright and lucid.
