@etschopp I like the "Deep Time" aspect--it's evocative. What about just "Deep Time, Inc."? I do like "Deep Time Exhibits," but "Deep Time Exhibitions" seems more euphonious. And the slogan possibilities are endless! "Bringing prehistory (back) to life!" or some such.

Thanks for your suggestions, Jerry. Yeah slogans are the easy part haha. I do like Deep Time, Inc. Or maybe Deep Time Docs?

@etschopp @dinogami Come to think of it, I'm not sure you can just put "inc" on the end of a company name, I suspect it means something specific about the legal constitution of the organization (at least in the USA). I may be wrong, but it's worth looking into.

@mike @etschopp Yeah, I wondered about that too...it probably does, but research is definitely called for!

@mike @dinogami do you think that applies to companies registered elsewhere and just (maybe) providing services in the US? In any case, we'd definitely have to consider that if we would decide to go with this name

@etschopp @mike Here's some info on the term as used in the US...not sure about Europe or elsewhere. Might be worth a conversation with a corporate lawyer or accountant with international expertise.
