Title: Name ATARNotes' parent company!
Post by: enwiabe on February 01, 2012, 08:48:02 pm
Hey everybody.

Now that we're producing the study guides, ATARNotes is no longer our company name (as this name will be transient and will likely change as the different education systems come and go). Don't worry, we're not changing the name of the site, we'd never be so silly. But ATARNotes will now be a service offered by the parent company being registered tomorrow. And similarly, it will be the "ATARNotes series of study guides" or something to that effect. This won't effect book designs, the name of the publishing company is only going to go on the inside cover of the book in plain text.

However, I need to come up with a new company name to register for an ABN tomorrow. It's a publishing company, so the type of name I'm looking for is "_________ Publishing" or "__________ Press" or "_____________ Media"

The name currently floating around in my head is "EJ Publishing" or "EJ Press" as named after my golden lab, EJ.

If you can think of better, post it here. You can submit as many names as you like, have fun with it, this will be the most lax announcement thread ever.

Imo if the current go is an acronym which no one will understand, might as well go with AN Press.

I personally think it would be hilarious yet indirectly effective to just call it SWAG Press.

XLL Publishing.

...

Considering the purpose of this is to make good education accessible, something progressive sounding like NEXT Academic Publishing?

Public Education Media?

Or maybe even something which suggests the source of all this (internet collaboration), in which case I still like "NEXT Academic Publishing" or "NEXT Academic Media", or even something like "Network Academic Press".

Books will still have the ATARNotes logo on them though.

If we release any other products (not on the cards atm), then maybe we'll ask for one, but I don't think we have much use for it atm :(

Limited is just the amount of liability the company has. It determines a public/private company. Just spewing out year 10 business stuff, probs not accurate haha

It's because none of the pro companies have "Australian" in them, and idk, it just doesn't sound "right" :S

That sounds a lot better than Australian Student Resource Network! :P

Awkward moment when 'ATARNotes' technically has an "Australia" in it.

I think you also need a special licence or something to have "Australia" in a business name?

ATARNotes wouldn't have such a licence as it is simply 'ATAR' and not the expanded version.

Post by: paulsterio on February 02, 2012, 06:32:50 pm
I'm not sure, but I've heard that basically you have to be an Australian owned and based company, so no biggie for AN anyways.

if we're using two letters, we might as well make it AN, because even if the word "ATAR" gets changed, it's still likely to be national, hence, it'll retain the A at the front?

What's with the love for "media" enwiabe? Personally i think it makes it feel less education and more ... for enjoyment purposes. IMO the standard "Publishing" is better

Bazza, we publish a website and now we're going to publish books.

It's to reflect that we produce products and services across several media. AN Media.

And who knows, maybe one day I'll say to David "code me a web-based MMORPG". And then we will have an entertainment service :P

Yes David, this is when you run and hide.

'Media' also makes sense in the sense that AN uses social media and technology to deliver its content. I like the extension of 'Publishing' but it seems so restricted in what AN actually does - it does a lot more.

I have dibs on ATAR notes App.

I really want a mobile version ;D

Suggestion #1:
LOL notes
 -by-line: we make the subject so easy, it's a joke!

Suggestion #2:
Orange
no by-line, it's clean, crisp and delicious and nutricious, furthermore it's reminiscent of Apple, how successful were they, despite their average products?. Think out of the Box

Suggestion #3:
Nacho Notes
Alliteration, it's fun to say, 2 syllables then 1 syllable, throwing a bone for the mathsy guys out there

Suggestion #4:
TOOB notes, or just TOOB.
Thinking out of the box.

rhymes with a plethora of funny words, and is fun to say.
these study guides are the first of their kind (i.e written by recently high scoring achievers in their respective subjects)

I think by using media we aren't limiting ourselves with something like publishing or limited.

However I bet you, that at some stage in the next 3-5 years, Queensland may eventually come into the system and cause a revamp (oh how VCE is having their's now).

Of some of the concept expansion ideas that we've had (that will be expanded on in due time) a parent company which presents itself as a 'media' producer definitely does make sense.
