It’s still going to be a bit (at least a year) until I start actually going into the true design of it but I eventually want to make a few throws for the community, focusing on actually unique design that offers practical utility (e.g. I plan for all of my 1A yoyos will be able to talon grind effectively by incorporating a rim lip).
Either way here are the names I had in mind:
Hubris Yoyos (this is my personal favorite)
Give Me Money, I Give Yoyo (GMMIGY)
Throw Bind Repeat
RPM
0voters
Naming schemes related to each choice:
Hubris: Mythical animals or creatures (e.g. my first oversized or 4A yoyo would be the Rukh, after the mythical bird. The Hydra would be a 1A yoyo also built for 3A. Griffon would be the flagship bimetal, Chimera for a tri-material, etc.)
Give Me Money, I Give Yoyo: Various economic terms (e.g. Transaction, Free Market, etc.)
Throw Bind Repeat: No planned names. Still working on this one.
RPM: Spinning things or fast things (e.g. Mach, Hurricane, Quasar, Axle, etc.)
I actually quite like the Hubris name and mythical creature theme. It gives you a lot of angles to work with and I think it’s the most fun of these. Treasures of the gods!
GMMIGY is probably my second favorite, but not as interesting a concept for me.
RPM’s a little generic but it is simple and effective.
“Throw Bind Repeat” gives me major yoyo-flavored-“Live Laugh Love” vibes. Take that as you will I suppose, but I’m personally not a fan of live laugh love merch.
With GMMIGY you could have colorways based on different currencys which personally are some of my favorite colors
To add onto what @bigstupidbees said about the “live laugh love” vibes, I think that would unironically be sick for yo-yos. Like poorly painted wood, and that font that’s on everything lol I think the modern farmhouse aesthetic would fit well in current yo-yo meta.
Gonna vote for Hubris because the mythical creatures naming scheme is incredibly cool. That said, Hubris is a word that I think could lead to people slightly viewing the brand as a joke because it doesn’t really have a single positive application. Hubris is usually used to denote unfounded arrogance, like Icarus flying too close to the sun, when I’d guess you want to convey well-deserved pride or confidence instead.
The modern farmhouse “live laugh love” ■■■■ often looks kind of cringe when it’s all over a house, but I absolutely agree that it would be phenomenal for yoyo. That is such a good idea
Naming a yoyo company is hard. In my opinion, you should choose something that will sound like a trusted brand in 100 years time. There are far too many brands that I feel aren’t named for longevity.
Dont make it too long or too oddball. An example of this kind of name is ‘Yoyofactory’.
