Need opinions on new company name.
 

Hey guys and gals.
Starting another production company and trying to nail down the name I want. I've come to two:

Rogue Icon, Inc.
or
Rogue Legend, Inc.

Whaddaya think?
I may have to add Productions, Pictures, or Films at the end.

How about just Rogue Productions or Rogue Pictures? Already taken?
Just seems to flow better....

If not, Rogue Icon Productions has a nice ring to it.

Already taken.

Rogue Icon has an interesting religious overtone. Sort of a bad boy forgotten or ignored "God" figure perhaps, a Rogue Icon. Like an Angel gone slightly bad. Hey, what? You guys know I'm on the dark side of the road.

Of the two that gets my vote for the above. Perhaps "Fogotten Icon", "Lost Icon", "Hidden Icon"?

Icon is Mel Gibson's company. Just in case you thought there might be some confusion :)

Gotta keep the "rogue" part, Sean...I mean, we are talking about Dylan here. ;)

The only trouble I see with Rogue Icon is in the spoken form. Anyone else hear "Ro-guicon?" Because of that I like Rogue Legend a little better.

rogue gain? oh, copyright issues, never mind...

Then you have R.I.P. Maybe good if you're focusing on horror flicks, but otherwise it could be interpreted as an early prediction of the quick demise of the company... :)

I find it ironic that you want to use the word Rogue (no longer obedient, belonging, or accepted and hence not controllable or answerable; deviating, renegade: a rogue cop; a rogue union local. ) and yet you want <EDIT> approval <EDIT> opinions? ;)

I like Rogue Icon Films Inc.

then we can call you Rifi for short.

Good try...
But in my dictionary "opinion" and "approval" don't fall on the same page. :)

My vote is for Rogue Legend

LOL! You are such a rascal!

Which reminds me...picture our fair Dylan when you hear a common definition: a rascal; scoundrel (hah!); a fun-loving, mischievous person. Now, is Dylan the definitive rogue, or what? :)

Do I dare ask in what genre this new company will be producing content?

Rogue Vision!

Mike

I prefer Rogue Icon Film(s). I think... No maybe Rogue Legend... No, Rogue Icon... Yeah, Rogue Icon.

But Lorinda has a point about the 'Ro-guicon' thing.

It's a big thing isn't it. I know I went through h*ll, and sometimes I second guess myself http://www.cutlassfilm.com/beta but I've got so much invested in it now...

I like Rogue Icon, but Rogue and Icon are already used by a couple of established film/production companies so it might cause confusion down the road.

Here's a few more, and they're all 3 syllables so they slide of your tongue easily.

Rogue Image
Rogue Picture
Rogue Idol (my fave, even though it makes me think of American Idol)

Rogue Figure

Universal Paramount Films?

Oh wait, I'm making fun of my own thread. :)

Universal Paramount Sony - UPS

I Personally like

Rolly Polly Productions

Rogue Media

R for Rogue

D, for badass :)

LOL! That's the best one yet, Rob!!! :D

Rogue Artist

LMAO!
Awesome Rob! :)

The word Rogue conjures up strong images--great for a film production company. For me, the problem is in the flow of syllables. The guh sound in Rogue is such a strong stopping point that it's difficult to find a word that flows easily from there. When I start playing with Rogue as the second word in a name, it's much easier to find flow.

Without much thought, the first thing that comes to mind is Rocket Rogue. I'm new here, so don't have much idea of the personality of your company. What do you want people to feel when they see/say your name? Another name pops up that I kinda like: Open Rogue Films.

I should add that "Rogue" and "Icon" seem like fairly common name-words among indie filmmakers (try a Google search for Rogue Productions); so you might at least consider something less popular that carries similar meaning, like "Scoundrel" or "Rascal". Or "Troublemaker"- oh wait it looks like Robert Rodriguez took that one. Anyway, just my 2c from doing brand development work- good luck on the name quest.

All valid points. I went with it anyway though, now I just have to come up with a logo.

Hmm... maybe I should make the next DVC about desining me a logo.... :)

Sounds Like you! :)

Rogues Gallery Productions?

Mike

Which reminds me, Dylan never dared answer the "genre" question...

One of my alternate names was "Chocolate Dipped Productions".... seriously... but not in a dirty way! ;)

Yah, Right!

Mike

No one ever believes me.... (sniff)

:D

Rogue Motion Media

Meant to move this to the business forum a while ago.
The deed is done, I'm officially Rogue Icon Inc, yay for me!

Dylan,

Yay for you indeed you rogue! Now, what will be the prize for de-sinning your logo? :)

Mike

On the Chocolate thing, stay away from "Dipped in Chocolate"... DiC...

Yeah.
