Poll for new record label name

Hi dear gearslutz

we're going to start our own label for dance music. After some hard brainstorming we came up with these 5 names, that we like the most.

Now we'd like to know how "clients" would react on these names. Please help us and vote and tell us why you like a name and why you don't like the other.

  • Bounty Records
  • Deft Records
  • It's A Must
  • The "Eye" See K ("Eye" is going to be replaced by a graphic)
  • B.T.R. (Buf Tak Rec.)



Thanks a lot in advance, kind regards

deft |deft|
adjective

-neatly skillful and quick in one's movements
-demonstrating skill and cleverness

origin: Middle English: variant of daft



"Deft Records" has the best ring IMO. I don't like "It's A Must"... and the runner up is B.T.R.



Cheers,

J.D.

I like The Eye See K because it's kind of angular and makes you think. Also it reminds me of an old song called "If You See Kay".

Me too, but nevertheless we think it'd be "far" engough if you also worked out a totally different logo.

Thanks anyway.

Who's Def Jam? Anyways, go with Deft Records. It's your handle here and we'll all know who it is!

If you're marketing dance music...it's not exactly Def Jam's exact market...

But you WILL spend a lot of your time saying, "no, it's DEFFFTTTTT records..."

Kinda like when Living Colour had to go on shows saying, "We're Living Colour. The BAND." After "In Living Color" (the show) came out. AFTER the band came out. Recognize that you're setting yourself up for this.

The good part is that the word association may make the name stick in people's minds better.

It'd have my vote, but I'm boycotting touchscreen voting in favor of a paper ballot.
