Need a Name for the Mini-Compressor!

[AGD]

All,

Ok I need a cool name for the compressor. It needs to meet the following criteria:

Not sound like something familiar with compressors . Along the lines of Apple for computers and Amazon for books. They dont' sound like the products they represent.

Good if it sounds small.

No personal names like Kaye Kompressors

Should be easily searched on google and easy to spell.

Needs to be CATCHY so you don't forget it.

Relating to pellet guns a bonus.

If I pick your name, you agree to let me have it. As compensation I will give you a new compressor for 100 bucks (below my cost) and lots of glory and adulation! If two people come up with the same name the first poster gets it.

Thanks!

Mr. Kaye

Will you be using the AGD Logo and name for this or your keeping is seperate?

If so. I would go with:

-AGD PCP (Pre-charged pneumatic) since that's what it's mainly being made for (air guns), for the most part. :rolleyes:
-PCP Unlimited
-PCP ULC (Ultra Light Compressor)
-AGD ULC (Booo on Tuna :p )

In order, that's "sharp knife", "face cream", "phone line extension", "plastic jar", "small blender", "flexible coathanger" and "bent brass pipe".

Or we can call it the Phoenix Air System. I say 'Phoenix', b/c I am hoping that this project will help AGD rise out of the ashes, and once again become a major producer of high quality paintball parts. Maybe this will pave the way for AGD to start producing markers again (Pump mags...???) Maybe I'm just a dreamer...?? :rolleyes:

OK... buy why Mu? For those that don't know µ is actually the lowercase representation of Greek letter Mu or Mi. It does have a numeric value of 40 in the greek studies and so far as wikipedia says: If the Alpha and Omega represent the beginning and end... µ represents the middle. Just silly geekery but I was just interested.

P.S> for all you engineers and physics nuts out there you'll notice that I avoided the scientific representation of µ... I'll leave tat up to you. I like the name uFill though.

maybe because it takes 40 hours to fill something :ninja:
I have no reason why it would be the middle :P
scientific use makes the most sense

anytime i use µ assume i mean micro lol

First thing that came in to my head was Com-Pak, like the 6-Pak

or maybe Kom-Pak since people are in to the whole using K's in place of C's thing.

TI CompPak?
TI MicroPak?

The logo should say "Because Quality Always Compresses Linearly" or something awesomely nerdy.

Then you can make a larger version with vent holes and call it a MiniFill.

You get the word fill and pseudo word full, so you hopefully it evokes the feeling of filling your tanks fully.

[Bigwooly1013]

I thought you should call it "Free"

Because once you have one you're free from trips for test air. The air your filling is free.

Hows bout the Air Ball Buddy?

Heres why

While obviously people will abbreviate it many different ways, the Air Ball Buddy gives a little bit of everything for somebody:


Air Ball Buddy:
While implying throwback to the bygone days of oldschool paintball, airballshould give any paintball player worth his salt flashbacks to Mags, Cockers, and spyders on the crazyiest speedball field you've ever seen- typically with the snake horizontal across the 50. I dunno about you, but I start thinking about the old days and I want someone to go back their with, hence my buddy, who's always got my back (or my tank).

A BB


Relating to pellet guns a bonus.
Pellet gun referance, yay BB's :clap:

Air Ball:
Term now outdated in paintball because of its replacement term "speedball". Airball makes me think of a Beer Ball, which everyone knows is clutch.

Ball Buddy:
How do you paintball alone?

Agd Airfill

[FutureMagOwner]

Good job so far but nothing is grabbing me yet.

Next Day Air is good but it fills in hours now so I don't want to promote waiting.

AGD

Along those lines, why not All Day Air (like what every field that I know of does for nitro fills)? That way it has a tip of the hat to paintball but still works as a generic product.

Two ways to interpret this A. vertical air flow. B. Everything starts as a draft. Lets hope this is the start of TK's journey to build a "sub 1 lb fully mechanical supermarker" -(cannot remember name of original poster pm me and I'll add in if you actually care)

I don't know if this has been said but make it black and call it the Black Box, simple enough and easy to remember

How about the

think, this guy with a pellet or paintball gun as a graphic on the side (actually a little mini Minotaur with a paintball gun could be a good logo for a product line).

How about the Legionair (Legion-air)?

[sslecyk03]

How bout "The Core"

[Walking Stick]

TOM THUMB

- first American steam locomotive (rile our red, white and blue blood)
- it was very small (you're making a MINI compressor)
- slow and steady (there's faster out there but it's not always a race; also reminds me of AGD's marketing strategy as opposed to the rest of paintball's infinite list of stale, burnt out, expired companies--you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig)
- what wife/mom will argue with this setup when it's named Tom Thumb?


"It needs to meet the following criteria:

"Not sound like something familiar with compressors . Along the lines of Apple for computers and Amazon for books. They dont' sound like the products they represent."
- Steam and air is the closest link... CHECK!

"Good if it sounds small."
- Tom and Thumb, two syllables... CHECK!

"No personal names like Kaye Kompressors"
- Eh, but I think everyone would love to have TOM in the name--it'll envoke greatness! A subtle but poignant easter egg for all of us.

"Should be easily searched on google and easy to spell."
- T-O-M and T-H-U-M-B, a third grader can spell that... CHECK!

"Needs to be CATCHY so you don't forget it."
- "Hey do you have air to play today?" "Yeah, I hooked my tank up to my Tom Thumb last night so I'm good to go!"
- the two "t"s can be stretched as being alliteration
- it's also vaguely familiar of the Tom Tom GPS system which is rather catchy... CHECK!

"Relating to pellet guns a bonus."
- Hrm, nope, but maybe one day it'll join the illustrious ranks of Crosman, Daisy and Red Ryder!


(Just my little thought on the matter...)

[AGD]

Stick,

That was a nice analysis and they type of thinking I am looking for. "Thumb Compressors" might be interesting.

I also liked Core but it was already in use.


By the way I am posting stuff to facebook on the minicompressor page.

AGD

[ta2maki]

How about turtle? It represents strong and long lived with slow and steady operation. Or variations thereof.

Air Turtle

Aw shucks, you could always do a little switch - Kore

K names are better anyway

/*** kissing

:)

[rawbutter]

How about the Legionair (Legion-air)?

That's already in use by MacDev.

My suggestion is a Boa Compressor because... well, it squeezes the air... like a boa constrictor. You could even put a snake decal on it.

[chafnerjr]

Thats cool too!

[Coralis]

Totally tongue in cheek. How about the Gardner Bros , because its full of hot air.

[JKR]

How about "The Pufferfish?"

[jolt00]

how about the jar

[Gunga]

Could always recycle the Micro CA name. CA in the original version standing for Constant Air, I'd guess? 'Course these days it'd be standing for Compressed Air.

Or since the compressor's not really micro, nor is it ginormous, could make it Mini CA instead?

Or...FHF or 4HF for Four Hour Fill.

[BigEvil]

Has anyone said "EZ-Air" yet??

[kwood]

cheesy i know...but what about

mini-saurus
(little dinosaur)
or...
microraptor
(smallest dinosaur)
or...
micro-saurus
(little dino)

since tom is all about the dinosaurs and such i thought it might be fun to throw those in there

like i said...cheesy but just throwing it out there

[breg]

How about "Cherry?"

Short, sweet, easy, and easy to remember. Something like this "Cherry" rig will...

Or

C.M.C.

"Cherry Micro Compressor"

HAMAC

Kind of a play on "Hammock" Highly Advanced Micro Air Compressor

[thew]

"Puff"

[AGD]

EZ-Air is VERY catchy!! I don't know about the spelling though.

FAQ up on facebook and I will post it here.

AGD

[kruger]

Just so you know, there is an EZ-Air in Memphis. They sell air Compressors and fill stations. Just dont want there to be confusion here, you are looking for brand identity. Tom, it might not be a bad idea to do a search on the names that you are interested in, just so there is no conflicts.

[breg]

Hmmm,

lemme brainstorm for a min.

Tom, I know this is a dumb question to ask, but where can I find info and pics? That would help me a little bit with the brain storming on a name for you.

How's about microFLOW

Hey Tom have you thought about taking a couple of these to the extravaganza next month?

Also how about
Air Lion

It seems fitting to me because of the Lions in the AGD logo.

[RehKal]

Element A.I.R. / Air Injected Resource

or

Technicor A.I.R. / Air Injected Resource

Or better yet, have the acronym be Air Injected Refill. That makes it a little simpler.

If you prefer to have the company branding as part of it.

Simple, easy to remember and catchy.
Plus, many in paintball will remember the A.I.R. valve. :D

Though I do admit to having trouble with the acronym, I'm sure something better could be thought up.

[kwood]

Compound AIR

(air injected refuel)(inspired from my previous post 163)

Compound - since the air around us is a compound of various elements
AIR - the acronym AIR states the purpose and function of the product

The Gnome or Air Gnome

It is completely irrelevant, and therefore appropriate in this case.
