I’m gonna launch a few items of merch next year. They’re very cool and will appeal to a much wider reach than the “Snazzy Labs YouTube audience” so I want to sell them under a separate brand. But what on earth do I name the site/company/etc.? Names are hard…

Just spitballing here, but… Copland Supply?
Show threadQuinn NelsonSep 28, 2023

Lots reading as cop-land and while incorrect, that’s very fair. Copland (cope-lind) is a big ‘ol fail of an operating system that never released following Mac OS System 7.

Maybe I need to make it more “apple-y?” This too over the top? Idk.

I could also just choose a different name, but I love the sound and lore of Copeland.

@snazzyq Copland with the six colour treatment could have potential trademark issues?
Show threadQuinn NelsonSep 28, 2023
@gnb I don’t think so. Copland doesn’t appear to have been trademarked by them, and if I’m mistaken, it was ever only used internally. Of course, I’ll consult my lawyer before getting serious, but I don’t think it would be an issue.
Show threadScott JensonSep 28, 2023
@snazzyq @gnb Copland was also code named 'pink' (I was on the System 7 or 'blue' team) This was pre the Jobs resurrection so I'm quite sure anyone who would care about you using "Copland" is long gone...

@scottjenson @snazzyq @gnb I’m pretty sure Taligent was Pink, not Copland, but you were there.

@snazzyq I like the pure yellow dot. Lots of fun directions you can take it in. Imagine selling, say, a bag with a discreet yellow dot. Cute!

@siracusa I’ve watched these videos countless times and don’t think I ever noticed that they swap the WindowShade and Zoom buttons on some of the demos. Clearly they were still deciding. Did any test builds actually ship with the WindowShade button on the left?

@snazzyq @noahsegal if the goal is to reach a much broader audience I wouldn’t go with a name that can easily be read as cop-land by anyone who isn’t familiar with a never released OS.
If the goal is to an apple connoisseur audience, then sure

@snazzyq Why not Snazzy… *something*? “Snazzy” is a pretty ambiguous and uncommon word that has a positive connotation — all good things for marketing. And for people who *do* know your YouTube channel, they know it’s all tied together. No need for a new name, IMO.
