Platinax as a name - Page 2

Callsign · 19-02-2006, 08:59 AM

What does this business do? If it has nothing to do with Platinum, and isn't relevant to the dictionary to me it doesn't mean anything. But that is my 2 cents, what do I know.

Pepsi = Pop

and they made it with their brand.

I kind of agree with Callsign, however Platinax does remind me of Platinum which gives the overall impression of quality, wealth and professionalism.

I kinda like the name, and with the site layout also a bit platinumish, it all fits in pretty well..

Platinum to some people means wealth, business, and thats exactly what this forum is all about, if i am not wrong

Glad to see it at least works for some.

I actually always wondered the signifigance of the name (I know this is my 6th post but I have known Brian quite a while)...Is it only the Platinum connection or is there something more to it?

***Brian Turner*** · 12-05-2006, 04:55 PM

It was indeed the idea of Platinum - also tried to get something techie in there, like *nix - Platinix. But that was long gone as a domain. Then I thought of the NACS datacenter and - hey! - Platinax...

I'm told by a good business friend that I was trying to be too clever, and should have used real words combined in an odd manner - ie, Blue Fish. But...it's already launched, and I guess it's simply a case of making the brand known and stregthened.

It sounds high-tech to me. Or the name of some science-fiction character, or a planet.

Hi Brian

I think the name Platinax is sound enough. The 'problem' I think is the strapline "for entrepreneurs". The two combined makes it sound like it's a brand name for some kind of stomach upset/laxative medicine.

Maybe it's just me though... ?

lol.. I agree with Eagle!

I like the name, you just need to rephrase that bit..lol
