LiveType Project new name - help!

Pedro Amado

As you might know, to avoid legal issues with Apple*, the LiveType Project will change it's name into... what into it's still not decided. Please vote on this poll and give us your oppinion about wich name to choose, or suggest a new name.

To people who still don't know this project, here's a litle info.

*As suggested by Adam in this node

Some of the names thought were:

  • Liveforge
  • Livefoundry
  • Typeforge
  • Livefont
  • Collabtype
  • Co-type

We've been running slower these past days, but we'll make it up, you'll see!
Thanks in advance for all the help and oppinions!

Cheers,
Pedro

P.S.: We are also getting very excited as we prepare to attend ATypI Conference in Helsinki, next September. It would be cool to see some oppinions about ATypI here too!

DocType ( DoctorType )
A Doctor a day, keeps the Apple away™ :)

Dav, formlos

I like Collabratype. when you make an Arabic font you can rename to CollArabType, and perhaps at some point AbracadabraType.

Si

The current fad is {impressive natural phenomenon} + {animal}.
Like Firefox and Thunderbird. So maybe WaterfallCobra.

Seriously: what about "Anvil"?

What do you mean hrant? Anvil like in a forge's anvil?
Anvil Project? it's kinda nice... I'll suggest to the other project collaborators...

Cheers,
Pedro

Anvil: yeah, the big hunk you forge stuff on. But you might like to slap on a prefix ("Open"?) or a suffix (one syllable) in order to: avoid possibly lawsuits; and indicate it's "public" (or whatever it is). Hmmm, Anvil Populusque?
