Zoojo.com -- Zoojo or Zoo Jo

Zoojo.com -- Zoojo
_____________
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
--William James
_____________________

"Zoojo," a cute, catchy, and memorable name, would make a great brand for a product line or services for children: clothes, toys, games, shoes, daycare, themed restaurants, cartoon characters, TV shows -- the list is endless. 

"Zoojo" could also be a fun humor site, either for kids or just general humor.


Indeed, we had fun with this logo just because "Zoojo" is an all-around fun/funny word.  

Radio test: Zoojo passes with a caveat: listeners might visualize "Zujo"; therefore, pronunciation should be presented as follows:



"Zoo-jo-dot-com; that's Z-o-o-j-o-dot-com."

In essence, Zoojo is primarily a visual term: internet, TV, print. If you plan to use radio spots extensively for advertising your product or service, you should probably select another name for your brand or company name. 


"Zoojo" and its variations ("Zoo Jo," "Zo Ojo," "Soojo," "Soo Jo," and "So Ojo"), do not appear in the USPTO.gov data bases.

ZXAL.com -- ZXAL

ZXAL.com -- ZXAL
___________
Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.
--C. S. Lewis
_____________________________

"ZXAL" is a very cool-looking 4-letter name that would make a good company name/acronym. We envision this as a technology or space-age domain: tech website, private space agency, gaming site, computers, etc.

However, if you're seeking a name that will be advertised extensively on the radio, then this might not be the name for your company. This is short enough that you could spell out the letters, but this is primarily a visual name.

No trademarks were found on the USPTO.gov data base for "ZXAL" or any of its variations, such as "SXAL."

Zanak.com -- Zanak

Zanak.com -- Zanak
_________
“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.

ZeQuest.com -- ZeQuest or Ze Quest

ZeQuest.com -- ZeQuest or Ze Quest
__________________
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
--Stephen Hawking
____________________________

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.

Zixio.com -- Zixio or Zix io

Zixio.com -- Zixio or Zix io
______________________

In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.
-- William Lyon Phelps
_______________________________

"Zixio" would be a great name for a start-up tech company, although Zixio would not necessarily be limited to tech.

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.
