Business Name

[hernandez.art13]

(Again, sorry)

I was talking to somebody and they told me to drop the name Art because it might come off as to cheesy to some, because that is my name.

So thought about it and this was my nickname when I played Upright Bass professionally, cos I was so fast, accurate, and thorough. They called me "The Machine"
Also because I can't work that much by hand (get to tired) lol

Was thinking maybe this

The Machine: Detailing
Specializing in Automotive Paint

(With the colon but seemed to complicated, I remember Mike Phillips talking about KISS (Keep it Simple Simon)

Going to be making business cards from the BMW I do, or another high quality car to post before and after pictures in back of the card and for my Instagram name

My lady has a Canon Rebel so will be using that when the time comes.

What do you guys think?

Machine Detailing sounds to much like a Swirl-a-Matic IMO

The Art of Detailing...oh wait a minute, is that Mike Phillips' book?

[hernandez.art13]

Yeah the Art of Detailing was my first pick but that name is taken and I want to come up with some original

Just going to stick with my forum name that I have over at Meguiar's online, when I make finally make the business cards I am going to be changing the my name here to Pure Art as well, so I can follow Mike Phillip's advice on using business name as your forum name as well.




Thanks guys!

Auto Geek Online (like Chemical Guys says) "Is The shiz!" (Something like that) lol

, Why pure? It just doesn't go. I agree with Flash with something along the lines of above.

Artistic Detailing

The problem arises if your portfolio does not match the branding!?! I've only seen a couple of pics (of your work) so can't really judge, but make sure that your brand is appropriately depicted in your work, otherwise your "name" will become the butt of a joke.
