to start off, your portfolio is fantastic!! Just beautiful. I'm not very fond of the domain that your using at the moment, just cause I can't seem to remember it. I like the best studiosevendesign.com just cause 7 is a lucky number and it fits the site. But after all that, what an awesome site. I love how the eyes move /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Studiosevendesign.com sounds most professional to me.
Recycledpixel has a kind of upbeat sound to it. I"d also expect it to primarily offer graphics services. Maybe even touchup photo services.
Ichthusdesign is probably not as universally effective a name as studiosevendesign because not everyone is going to get the fish connection between word and image.
I remember the site and the roll-y eyeballs. I'll look forward to seeing whatever new design you come up with. /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />
studiosevendesign.com is my favorite out of the three. It sounds most proffesional, but a bit trendy.
Although ichthusdesign.com is unique, I wouldn't use it for a few reasons:
1. I'm not sure how to pronounce ichthus so it's hard to remember.
2. Not being able to pronounce it makes it hard to spell (when typing into the address bar for example)
3. I don't know what ichthus means.
recycledpixel.com is unique, but it doesn't sound like it would produce anything new, know what I mean? It almost sounds like a place to get old stuff.
Nice site you have going! *plays with fish* ooh, you can drag his eyeball around O_o
Thanks for the input.
I have run into some of the problems that you are mentioning with ease of spelling. Ichthus doesn't cut it within Christian circles half the time and certainly not outside.
I ran into similar problems with studiosevendesign.com with people using studio7design.com instead, which actually is another designer. I have actually gotten some of his email and he mine. Fortunately we are both kind enough to get it to the right places.
I have gotten a lot of comments on the fish eyes. I was reluctant at first, thinking it was too "cute", but it seems to aid in retention.
Interesting insight regarding recycledpixel.
Thanks
So this on is not exactly a site review, but I am hoping this is still the best category. My current site can be found at:
http://www.ichthusdesign.com
What I would like is opinions regarding the domain names. The sites content will remain the same with most likely a new look.
Please give me some feedback regarding what you think the following names represent. Do they project a professional image? Creative image? Trendy? etc.
studiosevendesign.com
ichthusdesign.com
recycledpixel.com
Thanks!
