Design candy
I'm enjoying this site called Share Some Candy. It's a "curated collective of inspiring design finds and art." Pretty cool. And for any designers thinking about starting your own firm, the funny Name My Design Company Machine will help you out. It's inspired by the zillions of design studios who have named themselves after colored animals. Seriously. Just start Googling a color plus an animal plus "design." Red dog. Blue cow. Purple elephant. Try it.

That was kind of the advice given to a friend of my son and daughter-in-law: a color and a food. Hence, Fig&Ruby. But I wouldn't advise checking them out if you are hungry, because her cakes are to die for www.figandrubysweets.blogspot.com
very cool site!
thanks so much for sharing~~

haha. that's so true! i just googled "yellow cat design" and "yellow pig design" and they both came up with design/merch companies. funny!
I'm not sure that 'Evil Cloud Labs' is really going to take off, but it's a thought.
Ah ha, thanks for the trusty naming formula...just call me Red Goose.
Love both sites you've linked to - Thinking about renaming - fun to use.
Oooh fantastic resources! Thanks :)
I'll have to check this out. Thanks!
Wow! I tried the google search and its sooo true! It also led me to a blog with some funny stuff... http://www.thepurpleturkey.blogspot.com.
Funny! 'Friendly Pencil Designs' came up - I like it! Thanks! -amy
That was so fun, I think my favourite was "Evil Kangaroo Productions", heh!
Thanks, Jessica. What a cool site! Lots of creative, colorful things to blog about here. :)
if i'd only found the naming machine sooner!
I could have been:
evil dog media
chestnut zebra labs
or crazy pencil .com
etsy users should use this resource when naming their shops!
Funny!! I got "Flying Banana Solutions." Quite catchy, actually.
Should I be worrried that out of the 6 times I clicked to make my own company name... 4 times I got "evil" for my first word, and the other 2 times I got "beige"...LOL!
I'll keep spinning the wheel and see what else they come up with for me! Too funny!
Fun site! I got "Blue Fish Design" and "Golden Moose.com"
So looking forward to tonight's social! Yippee!!
So so so good, I'm addicted to it now, I got Peach Zebra Productions and Blue leopard.com Love it!!
Wow! Definitely a bookmark-worthy site. Love to see artists promoted well online. Thanks for telling us about it --

Oh my gosh - I just randomly googled red cat media...and it's a real firm in England!
They should do a version for indy letterpress artists.
So funny!!!
Love it, Golden Armadillo Design...
Thanks for the link I just added them to my blog roll. I'm a sucker for sites with lot's of pretty pictures that keep me in the loop about Indie Artists. Reminded me a bit of My Love for You is Like a Stampede of Wild Horses.
