We could keep LMMS change the nouns to for example Love Making Music Studio Elements or something of the sort.

ok guys, I'm not into politics or anything, so I probably suck at explaining ... but I'll try it anyway :) The "brand" LMMS is not that important, it's the product itself that is ... Google branding is nice to have, if a brand is all you're selling, that is. It's just a search engine, possibly allowing average Joe to stumble on LMMS when querying "make music" or something alike ... SEO is a bitch. The product as it is now, is known not because of its name, nor because of Google tagging, but because of what it is; if someone is into making music, he'll actively look for the right product; lots of other tools out there as you all know. I doubt any of you exclusively use LMMS ;-) So, as for picking a name ... If I were to buy a t-shirt, I'd prefer "Loopix" on it to any acronym (except OMFG). The world already has too many abstractions ! grtz, Gert PS : this is not an advocacy for "Loopix", rather for NOT an acronym ... and "elements" sucks too :p On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 7:04 PM, Jacob Meuser <ja...@sd...>wrote: > On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 06:28:46PM +0200, Jonathan Aquilina wrote: > > We could keep LMMS change the nouns to for example Love Making Music > > Studio Elements or something of the sort. > > I like "Love Making Music Studio" and "Lively Music Making Studio", > or even "LMMS Music Making Studio" ;) > > > > > On 11/04/2011 18:20, Karsten Fink wrote: > > >Hi, > > >to put in my two cents worth: > > >I am for a change in the name, but not a change in the letters' order. > > >My idea is to leave the letters and find more suitable nouns > > >beginning with the letters. > > >The thing is that LMMS is a brand, Google says so at least. > > >Takes a lot of time to build this renownednessSmiley Emoticon > > >I would go for something like: > > >-"Lovely Music Making Studio" > > >-"Loopy Music Making Studio" > > >-"Living Music Making Software" > > >-"Lively Music Making Suite" > > >-"Lemonade Music Mixture Suite" > > >best regards > > >Bard > > > > > > > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > >Xperia(TM) PLAY > > >It's a major breakthrough.

The world already has too many abstractions ! > Well said. One point of disagreement is that the brand does carry some weight. That's why I proposed using a tagline like "Newname, formerly known as oldname" for a period of time. This will allow the search indexes and mindshare to adjust. Companies do this all the time, it's called "rebranding". Azureus, an insanely popular BitTorrent client, did just that. The old and new names are available in the repositories. Both names are visible on Google prominently. The secret is using the old and new name simultaneously for six to twelve months, then dropping the old name. Because of this, there is no need to tie the old name to the new one in other ways. So, whatever name is chosen (if any), it doesn't matter how similar or different it is as far as branding is concerned. Just pick the best name. Preferably not something silly sounding. This isn't a joke; it's the only application for Linux of its kind. Give it a name with weight. We have enough "gnu" this and other obscure names. No recursive acronyms or cute/clever names should be used. Elements, Siren, Echo Location, use your imagination, but keep it professional. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: sa...@ei... phone: (770) 853-6271 |
