I've had some very mixed reactions from people who've reviewed my new business name. I originally had MarkD Metal & Stereos, which I never liked and nobody else has ever liked. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) But some people don't like the word Subtle in Subtle Customs. I respect everyone's opinion here. Let me have it straight and unfiltered. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Thanks.

It's your decision (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) . . .however, a quick browse through Roget's using "subtle" as an adjective, as you have, yields both positive and negative results: when used as with "structures/things constructed/built" one sees synonyms such as "fine, delicate, coarse, homespun." When used as an adjective for a trait like "cunning", you see ingenious, clever, skillful, sharp", etc.
You hope that your potential customers translate your business name as "Ingenious and Clever Customs" rather than "Coarse and Homespun Customs." Tough call. . .you have to know your potential customers. If you don't get an overwhelming positive response, your chosen name could be too sophisticated for your target group (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) . |
