Few days ago, I posted a list of names that I shortlisted for the new ShareMyCab name. Thanks to all of you for the facebook messages, the comments and the emails to give me your opinion. The final shortlist comes down to 3 names:
- Cab2Share.com
- CabEasy.com
- 101Cab.com
Until now, I haven’t made a final choice. I figured, if I could visualize it, it could help. So this afternoon I have been playing to create some potential amateurish logos. I’m “writing out loud” what I think about each name and I hope that when I’ll be finished with that post, my choice will be made !
Cab2Share.com
The name is good because it’s explicit … but for an english speaking person only. Non-english won’t have any problem with “share” but the “2″ - to be read or understood as “to” - won’t make it … If a french speaking person would tell about my site, I guess she would literally say “cab two share dot com” and then would have to explain the 2 = to thing. The first logo is interesting though …
CabEasy.com
CabEasy is a good name. It’s not the most sexiest of all, but it’s easy to remember, and applicable to all languages. And it’s short, 7 letters. CabEasy.com flows, and it also makes some sense. Not the core business (sharing cabs to save money and protect the environment) but it relates to cabs, and to my process (that I try to make super easy). CabEasy.com. Cab Easy dot com: share cabs, save money, be green. As easy as that. Like it.
101Cab.com / 5050Cab.com
101Cab.com means nothing. 5050Cab.com means cheaper cabs because you’re sharing the fare. But ShareMyCab is not only about cheaper cabs, it’s also about a greener environment. However, both of them are easy to say and remember. And they flow just right. The only thing is that the “101″ expression makes sense in english, not in other languages. The 5050Cab.com logo looks good though.
Well I’ve reach the end of that post. And I think the choice will be … CabEasy.com. I’ll leave myself - and you !!! - a few days before signing off on it ;)
