Ever thought wow what a great name for a company or I wish I had thought of that. Well here are my favourite 2. Sun Microsystems. With a name like that their stuff just must be good. Industrial light and Magic. Wow this must be the coolest name ever for a special effects company. |

Ever thought wow what a great name for a company or I wish I had thought of that. Regarding ILM and Skywalker Sound; are/were they both under Lucas Films Lmtd. or, are they separate corporations owned by Lucas? I only ask because, now that Disney owns Lucas Films do they also own the other two entities; or, does Lucas retain the two remaining companies? TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9!

Ever thought wow what a great name for a company or I wish I had thought of that. No idea TL. I saw ILM in the credits of a movie I watched last night and it inspired me to start this thread. |

ILM and Skywalker Sound were two separate entities owned by Lucasfilm, all of which were founded by George Lucas that are now owned by Disney. In fact, Pixar Animation Studios was another division of LucasFilm before it was sold to Disney 6 years prior to Disney buying all of LucasFilm. |

Not only do they have a brilliant name but they have done so much incredible stuff. |

I will disagree! What are you disagreeing with Chris? Dont you think the name Sun Microsystems sounds good. Microsoft doesn't sound good - it makes me think of small ineffective man parts.What would you rather say, I have a Sun Microsystem or I have a Microsoft ? |

I am disagreeing with the suggestion, as per the title of this thread, that they are best sounding business names. I think that both of them demonstrate that there were shortsighted and were bad examples. Anyone got any better ones? Should know better than to start a subjective thread where you just ask what do people like. derrr. |

There is a company in the US that sells very large ceiling fans, for factories and warehouses. Their name is Big Assed Fans. There are some great names in old railroad company names. My personal favorite is a small railroad that only lasted for a few years back in the late 1800s. They ran a line about 2 miles long between the towns of Fort Erie and Snake Hill in southern Ontario. (Snake Hill today is a neighbourhood in Fort Erie.) Although this little strip of rail was about 3,000 miles from the west coast, they were obviously thinking big because they named the company the Fort Erie, Snake Hill, And Pacific Rail Road. |

Dewey, Cheatham & Howe Investments. I thought they were a Law Firm, specializing in Business Law and Divorce. When did they branch out into Investments? Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

There is a company in the US that sells very large ceiling fans, for factories and warehouses. Their name is Big Assed Fans. In those days, a grandiose name was a way to sucker in investors to buy their stock. It also gave them a license of sorts to build pretty much anywhere they felt like it west of where they started. The St. Louis San Francisco Railway never got west of Kansas City, and Ft. Worth TX.

With Monday's permission I'm gonna add in my favourite best company logo. Go right ahead Chris. It could also equal zorro. :-) |
