Type A brand name official naming. High award with Haiyan-memory.

[CharlieCooper]

Funny, an appropriate translation that happens to start with the letter A is "ACME." But it makes me think of Bugs Bunny/Road Runner cartoons...

For this, I like Alpha Cube or Alpha-something, previously mentioned.

Or AquaSpin!

Acme's probably copyrighted by someone.


I'm pretty sure joey came up with Alpha-something and implied Alpha cube, but I actually said it.


Pick Alpha cube pl0x.

Lol, didn't I say alpha?!

Yes, Charlie. You did say Alpha. After I said it. This: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=338510#post338510

we dont care, Charlie is the one who officially suggested it

In this thread, how much more official can you get than saying the name?

My sentence structure is very deliberate towards the fact I'm suggesting it.

Although, that isn't to say that I won't split the reward with her if Alpha cube wins, because she came up with it of her own accord, also.

I had no idea you suggested it, I'm not particularly concerned about winning a reward, I just made the name suggestion because I thought it was a good name. I didn't even read the rest of the thread until now. So... whatever.

Type A brand name official naming. High award with Haiyan-memory.
I am the cooperative partner and stockholder of Type A and I am also the official wholesaler of Type A.
As you know ‘Type A’ is not a good brand name. The Type A’s Chinese name is ‘国甲‘，It means first, best. The boss of Type A and me want everybody help us to name it a English name. Please write your idea here. We will choose a best one to use. The new name will be written on the fancy packing box. If we choose your idea ,we will give
two Haiyan-memory,two Hiayan’s cube,two Type A II ,two Type A V as gifts. After we get the new name, the old name of Type A will not use anymore. The Chinese name and logo will never change.
As you know we have named the new product as Haiyan’s cube. This name will never change.
Please write your good idea here.

We will finally vote a new best Brand name.

Two things:

They're looking for a brand name, not the name of a new cube, have I got that right? That means that they probably don't want a name like "ultimate cube" (I'm pretty much guessing), since that's the name of a cube. Is there any car brands named "The superduper ultimate car"? (No) The most car companys have some kind of unrelated name like Volvo or Saab, and then name their cars somthing boring like V70 or MFI-13. Hai Yan is looking for a brand name, not the name of a certain modell.

I'm not even sure I'll participate in the "contest" (so it's not out of greedyness), but honestly, what kind of "gift" is it? Say that I came up for the international name for an international company, what would they give me? Once again, I'm taking a guess, but maybe the producing cost of those cubes are 80 USD? The very best brand name that almost the whole speedcubing-community can make up, is probably worth more.

Or am I totally lost?

yep u r right. Haiyan's looking 4 a BRAND name, and i'm sure Haiyan won't choose such words like "ultimate", "super" etc. But names like "Alpha Cube", "Legend Cube" r indeed something he's looking for.

Also, I think we're looking for a BRAND name, not the name of a certain cube. (which a lot of people seem to be confused with)

Yeah, I already brought this up, but no-one seems to really understand.

I think most do. What makes you think so?

 

[Muesli]

What's the matter with Type A?

 

[Stefan]

What's wrong with type A? It's been like it for a few years and I"m used to it.

What's the matter with Type A?

So if you guys had a company selling products, you'd like to print "Type A" on the box as the brand name? Or call your website www.typea.com?

Everyone seems to making up names for a certain cube, not a brand.

type-a-cubing.com

Not bad IMO. I've heard of worse sites.

Lol

I didn't understand quite well why not Haiyan Cube..it's a good brand name I think. But if you need something different...

(The) Phenom (Cube)
or
Divine (Cube)
Angels (Cube) (although I think it's a bit too feminine )

*note: sorry if these have been already posted, but I haven't had time to read everything

it won't make big difference, just as mostly "Dayan/Taiyan Cube" refers to its 3*3 cube, but actually Dayan/Taiyan is the generic term for every cube that is designed by Dayan/Taiyan's designer You can see Dayan/Taiyan's logo not only on their 3*3 cube but also on their Crazy 332, Crazy 444 etc

in Chinese language "xxx Cube" refers to both a brand name and their specific cube's name.

 

[Sakarie]

Yeah, but if someone says "Hey, buy the 'Ultimate cube'!" Then I take it that that cube is the ultimate cube, the very, very best a cube can get. How can the same company then produce "Ultimate Cube II"?

 

[Stefan]

I don't see that. Do you think so because people suggest "Foobar cube", i.e., include the word "cube"? I just take that as applying the brand to the most common usage (besides just raw brand name).

type-a-cubing.com
Not bad IMO.

I'd say you have a bright future career in marketing. Not. The brand name really shouldn't tell that it's just one brand among several.

V-cubes.com?

How about A-cubes.com then?

 

[Stefan]

V-cubes.com?

That is indeed a lot better. The word "Type" points out that there are others so it's just one among several. Not good. No need/chance to hide the fact, but it really shouldn't be pointed out.

V-Cube also is a different story. The V stands for something (Verdes) and its 6x6 and 7x7 cubes were the first and only ones for a while and still are the only fully and clearly legal ones.

It is arguable that the Type A cubes have been quite revolutionary in the 3x3 world, as much the V-cubes.

I don't think so. They didn't produce something really new, and they weren't alone.

Slightly modifying the Rubik's 3x3x3 mechanism is *not* comparable to inventing a considerably different mechanism for large cubes and being the first to mass-produce cubes larger than 5x5x5.
