Re-Inventing

[mameighan]

My name is Mark Meighan
My Current Company is Omnia Imprints and as the name implies we do everything from printed banners, business cards, brochures and small signage to promotional products (my mainstay). I have also been doing a lot of campaign/event type planning from advertising and signage to day of tickets/signs/apparel etc

I want to remarket part of my business and would appreciate ideas for a name change (or wing of Omnia Imprints). I have a PhD in Biochemistry and often use the research skills I picked up to get my clients the right product for the job - I really enjoy this part so was thinking of incorporating the "Dr" Doctor" "PhD" part into the name somehow. Imprint Doctor is already done...

I also hold a Master Level in Martial Arts so most people know me that way (my second job is running a martial arts organization and teaching) so that might come into play

Would love your ideas and thoughts...thinking of going quirky on this...
Any help would be appreciated

Mark

For the love of God, please do not put a "Doctor" in there.
(my pet peeve as we have a bunch of local businesses such as Dr. Waterheater and Dr. Tile and I think they are all cornier than a turd after a July 4th picnic)

Not to sound mean, but people probably don't care that you're a biochemist or a Kung Fu guy. PhD in the sign world stands for Post Hole Digger. If you are promoting events, and your brand is already well-known, I would call it "Omnia Events". It sounds much grander and all encompassing to me.
Love....Jill

The OP mentioned going "quirky"

It has been my experience, gleaned working with legions of PhD packing colleagues, that anyone with a PhD that wants to be in any way referenced by 'Dr.' is an insufferable a$$. Witness the pompous twit of a wife of the current VP of the USofA.

Such self-aggrandizement is most mercifully seldom seen in the real world that exists outside the cloistered halls of academia. Get over yourself.

Thanks for the input folks. I never use the title doctor and only my students call me master in class. Several people have suggested I play on the roles but I guess the consensus is no and I am good with that.

Was just trying to come up with something catchy that people may tag on to like ninja promos or the like.

Thanks again, that is why I posted for good honest feedback

You have a good attitude about the feedback. Good for you.

(kind of rare on this forum).
