New type A models - how'd you name it?

[daniel0731ex]

Hi, i recently proposed slightly different names for the type A models, and then i kept on changing it, which caused a bit confusion

i think we should decide the naming system using the democratic way - public poll.


so yeah, how'd you name the type A cubes?

btw, "SV" stands for "sealed verson", not "super veloce" as in Lamborghini sports cars (thought you could interpret anyway you want )



The "NEW" names are rather confusing to me because they don't make any sense at all. the word "new" is usually used to described "retooled" cubes, and the "NEW type A III" is really but a completely seperate model from type A III.

the type (X)-f is what C4U uses, and i think it's pretty good. but then they gets ignored easily. that's why i came up with the "SV" name. it's basically the improved verson of the "f" name. i think it'd work much better than the other ones.

The first ever type A = AI
The second one, = AII
etc etc.

but what about the sealed verson?

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Uhm... A VI?

Lets rename them completely, G,H,I,J,K,L.

So, the next cube in the series becomes the next letter.

+1, But what happens when they run out of letters? AA, BB?

the "NEW blablabla" names could be quite confusing in my opinion. i mean, the word "new" is normally used to described "retooled" cubes, and the "NEW type A III" is a completely seperate model from type A III.

Its getting quiet frustrating when trying to find some good names for the new cubes. I wonder if we'll even be able to name all the different cubes available, because many chinese companies produce "new" cubes every second week.
Therefore I think it might be a good opportunity, to name the cubes after the company, which made it - just like you do it with cars.

For example Type F (II) would be Sheng En Firebird or sth. like that.

If we call this "NEW type A III", will we call the next version "NEW NEW type A III"? I voted A III-f cause I think that's what cube4you calls it and I think they know what they're doing.

or you could just use my "SV" abbreviation


btw, this whole fuss is only because of the type A sealed series, we just doesn't know how to call the cubes with closed-in cubies. if it's just simply "Limited Edition" or "Special Edition" it'd be much easier.

 

[Meep]

I would just point to or show a picture of it and go "This one."

actually, the "f" stands for "封"(fong) in chinese, which means "sealed". the english verson should be "Sealed Verson" or "SV"

Yeah, but I was referring to the whole naming system!

I think that some kind of "revolution" is needed, or soon noone will be able to differ the different kinds of cubes from each other.

I always wanted something named after me. Call one of the new ones the EDMUND DIY please.

[PeterNewton]

I like Greek letters... they're cool . Use them once you run out of English letters. Or better yet, use them even before that happens.

 

[Hai Yan Zhuang]

Type A will change name to Haiyan's cube.The new type of type A is desigened by me. It will be named as Haiyan's cube-Haiyan. Other type of type A will be name as Haiyan's cube(I-V).
Before the type A cube was famous in china.I took part in the design and test
work. Actrually I provide many proposal.
The designer(the boss) of type A and me designed a new type of cube.I provide many idea.He designed the cube according to my idea.We wish this cube can be the best cube of Type A. We will named it as Haiyan's cube-Haiyan
For the convenience of the cuber in the world to know the cube.We change the name of type A cube to Haiyan's cube.
I think everybody will get the new cube in 15 days or so.I am tesing the cube now.I wish I can use the cube desigened by myself to break the WR.

 

[Edward]

We should give all the type a's a real name based on the description of the cube (With the exception of the Haiyan cube). For example, the type a2 (tabs) would be a combination of the chinese word for crispy and the chinese word for cube.
Anyone?
