Need some ideas - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BentNotTwisted · 08-18-2003, 12:32 PM

I need some ideas from someone more creative than myself. I know, it wouldn't take much.

My wife is starting a hobby which she hopes to turn into a small home business. She is going to make some craft type thingies (pics below). They are wires with different colorful buttons on them arranged in a vase. A clear acrylic is poured in the bottom and it hardens to hold the wires in place. I'm looking for a catchy phrase we can use for a brand name which also describes what they look like.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Squiggly Plant
Knick-Knack Leaves
Wired Vases

Yeah, they're not very good. But maybe they'll inspire a better name.

absorbentishe · 08-18-2003, 01:15 PM

Those are kind of cool. I'm sure my wife would like something like that for center piece or something. I don't have any suggestions, I'll power nap and get back to you.

ratbastid · 08-18-2003, 02:45 PM

How about "TwistedNotBent"?

Seriously, I sat down and thought about it for all of two seconds and I came up with the PERFECT name for these.

<i>Sproingles</i> (tm).

I hereby grant you perpetual license to the name <i>Sproingles</i> (tm).

BentNotTwisted · 08-18-2003, 02:49 PM

These ideas are great. I especially like Sproingles. Thanks ratbastid! You're

ratbastid · 08-18-2003, 04:21 PM

AAAHHH it's nothing.

I was going to say the same thing. :P

What about "wired" or "wacky wires". I dunno, but they look cool.

prosequence · 08-18-2003, 07:22 PM

or go for "GET BENT"
..."would you like to Get Bent? order one today!!"
How about BENT WILLIES
Wawiggers (Chris if you read this don't tell...)
Lively Wires
Decawire
Underwires
hehe
of course now I'm thinking about bras......
I'm done.

Rodney · 08-18-2003, 09:15 PM

Hmmm...

Springy Creations
Wirey Wonders
Curley Quties (gag, gag)

skinbag · 08-18-2003, 09:48 PM

TiggerTails?

cheerios · 08-19-2003, 03:07 PM

i dunno what to call them, but they're great replacements for fake flowers, that tend to get old and ratty-lookin'

i like the acrylic in the bottom, adds to the flower-feeling.

LOL, I'll run that by my wife and see what she thinks.

jbrooks544 · 08-22-2003, 08:40 AM

How about

"WOWers"

get it?.... flowers, wowers, huh?

BentNotTwisted · 08-22-2003, 09:00 AM

Lots of great ideas, thank you all for your help. We are leaning toward Tigger Tails (TY Skinbag) but are concerned about the copyright on Tigger. I also like the Wowers idea, maybe FlWowers. That might be a bit much to say though. Maybe Wower Flowers. Curlie Quities is a good one as well although it maybe a bit saccharine.

mml · 08-22-2003, 10:15 AM

How about you call the company SpringyCreations(nod to Rodney)and call the product "Livewires" as in "Livewires from Springy Creations"

Theresa · 08-23-2003, 03:59 PM

this sounds weird but. . .

Wog Noggles

I don't know why

Double D · 08-24-2003, 10:06 AM

I think Forks's advice is most sound, maybe fine tune your product--Tilted Art might be a place to request opinions, too.

My other suggestion is to fix your sig.

It's a reference to drug use.

Ooh~ how bout Swizzelsprings like the swizzel sticks but springs. I was also thinking, if your wife made it so you can put your own personal pictures on the springs, that would be awsome! Of coure with buttons to correspond with the picture and vase. Like a vase in the shape of a cat, with fish buttons and then the person can put pictures of their cat. Non? Anyways, good luck with that business!
