anamanda 2d - I think we should go with girlish name. Men, girls, even there is no girls, everybody likes it, everybody loves it, everybody are heart taken. Good.
There is rhythmical names and there is heavy names. I was reading something about it a while ago, I can’t recall what exactly it was about, but one thing I do remember - the rhythmical name is the name you want to go with. Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable can add more to this.
And there is really something to it. You just try to say anamanda 10 times and it gets into you like a rime. The Solar2D just don’t stick like that.
Imagine someone is looking for a new engine, researching it and reads same name again and again. Sometimes it’s hard to say why someone chooses one but not the other. You add pros, you and cons and often it’s a small margin, close decision. Sometimes something just pulls towards the one. When you can’t make strong decision you go with the feel. I can’t stress this enough as I am afraid this is overlooked here.
The more I think about it the more I believe it can be a small key to a success. Imagine if we can win every small margin battle or imagine we lose all of them. You can win. When one is quiet and the other repeats itself again and again - anamanda, anamanda, it calls you, invites you, we can call it spell. And you win when you are the one who cast the spell.
Small margins are everywhere. And now it’s big.
And most important. Finally we would be able not to repeat circles on every logo. That’s great.
I say let’s get free, let’s open our minds and make it beautiful and unforgettable.
