“For a truly effective social campaign, a brand needs to embrace the first principles of marketing, which involves brand definition and consistent storytelling.”

--Simon Mainwaring 

_____________________

“Zanak” suggests to us a character or a video game. It would also be a good company or brand name for just about any business or brand.

In reality, “Zanak” is an open-ended name, one on which you can define your brand and build your own company narrative.

Keep in mind that brands like Verizon, Xerox, Kleenex, and TASER (Acronym for “Thomas A. Smith's Electric Rifle”) have been built on non-words, coined by their creators to impart meaning about a brand.

“Zanak” also appears to be a last name.

“Zanak” is a “consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant” configuration, a very desirable pattern for start-up companies. This word pattern is nearly impossible to find, except on the domain aftermarket.

As of 8/15/2013, the term “Zanak” was not found on the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases.

The root word of "ZeQuest" is "Quest," a highly charged word that refers to a hero's obsession to find, via an arduous journey filled with danger, obstacles, and tests, something or someone important:

In mythology and literature, a quest, a journey towards a goal, serves as a plot device and (frequently) as a symbol. Quests appear in the folklore of every nation and also figure prominently in non-national cultures. In literature, the objects of quests require great exertion on the part of the hero, and the overcoming of many obstacles, typically including much travel. The aspect of travel also allows the storyteller to showcase exotic locations and cultures (an objective of the narrator, not of the character) (Wikipedia).

"ZeQuest" suggests video games or series of products having to do with a hero's search/quest for the "Holy Grail." Other uses for this term are possible, but this use is most obvious to us.

No trademarks were found on the term "ZeQuest" or "Ze Quest" on the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases. However, a trademark was found for SeQuest for "computer software for performing biomolecular analysis by analyzing data from mass spectrometers." We disclose this information because ZeQuest, depending on usage, may be considered a typo of SeQuest; "Z" and "S" are near each other on the qwerty keyboard. If you avoid product confusion with the SeQuest mark, you should be okay. For more information, consult with a trademark lawyer.

Avoid demonizing television, computer games, and new technologies. Electronic media may compete for kids' attention, but we're not going to get kids reading by badmouthing other entertainment. Admit that TV and games can do things books can't.

-- Jon Scieszka

______________________________

"Ziqus" or "ziQus" suggests a type of video game or playful company name. Capitalizing the "Q" really makes this name pop visually -- never underestimate the power of "Q" in a product or company name. This Q works especially well because of the organic "u" that follows it, for (in English), "u" almost always follows "q."

This name also follows the "consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant" pattern, a very desirable configuration for products and company names.

This name sort of passes the radio test, although listeners might hear and see "zikus" or "zicus"; but if you are selling computer games, you won't be advertising on radio, now will you? Ziqus works best as a visual name in visual media: internet, TV, billboard, magazines, etc.

One of the best aspects: Ziqus does not appear on the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases, nor does there seem to be any ancillary marks to worry about.

I like the idea that every page in every book can have a gem on it. It's probably what I love most about writing - that words can be used in a way that's like a child playing in a sandpit, rearranging things, swapping them around.

-- Markus Zusak

_______________________________

"Zwapo" is just one of those non-words that should be a word; indeed, the root word "Zwap" is a play on the word "swap." Certainly, Zwapo would be a great swap meet website or brand for a company that organizes physical swap meets and other trade events.

Also, "Zwap" is listed in the Urban Dictionary as "someone getting hit by an object or person at a high velocity." One sees this word quite a bit in fast-action comic books as superheroes and villains duke it out.

Zwapo is a fast-action term, perhaps describing a screaming fast software program or game -- this term also suggests a techie type word, through and through.

While "Zwapo" does not appear in the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases, the term is in commercial use in the Netherlands (See zwapo.nl) for the sales of pre-fab log cabins (Blokhutten). If you plan to do business in the Netherlands and/or sell pre-fab buildings, you might want to consider another name for your business or product. In any case, please consult with a trademark lawyer with any questions you might have about this domain and its potential as a trademark for your product or service.

___________________________

"Zooray," an echo of "Hooray," is a kid name, through and through, appropriate for myriad products and services for children: clothing, shoes, toys, games, daycare, meetup places for kids meeting kids, children-themed restaurants, etc.

Zooray could also be branded for a pet store or even a chain of stores. Unlike many short branded names, Zooray is made up of two short common words: "zoo" and "ray."

Zooray is the kind of name that pops out and grabs customers and draws them in, the kind of name that will brand itself -- definitely an "earworm." This term could easily slip into everyday lexicon.

As of 8/2/2013, Zooray and Zoo Ray have not been found in the USPTO.gov and Trademarkia.com data bases.

As of 7/30/2013, "Zixio" has not been found on the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases. However, the term "Zyxio" is trademarked for mobile phone software, so if you plan to use this name for that market, you might want to consult with a trademark lawyer before buying Zixio.com.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

____________________________

Although "Zwaa" (pronounced "Z'Wah") has been categorized as "tech," this is one of those terms that could represent just about any product or service. It's kind of playful and flirty, great for a company that prizes informality and humor as part of its corporate culture.

According to the Urban Dictionary, "Zwaa" has had a brush with fame on the NBC series Scrubs as a term that means "to diss" or "burn":

Ed: Zwaa!

Dr. Cox: Who made that noise?

Ed: Oh, uhh... I did. I'm a little tired of her chipper attitude so it's cool to see you just slam her so I just went Zwaa!

Dr. Cox: So, if I were to ask you a question like "What is the next diagnostic move in checking for Zollinger–Ellison?" and you didn't know I would say "Zwaa!"

Ed: Nope. Because I know the answer: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Zwaa!

Dr. Cox: Good. But mark my words I will Zwaa you by the end of the day.

One caution, though: in Switzerland, there is a wine called Zwaa, so, perhaps, if you live and/or work in Switzerland, you might want to consult with a trademark lawyer, especially if you plan to open a winery. Indeed, the domain name Zwaa.ch appears to be registered to one of the winery owners, but does not resolve into a website.

As of 7/29/2013, "Zwaa" does not appear in the USPTO.gov or Trademarkia.com data bases.
