Dope dev/studio names

[sxiebonjour]

Playing Dirt Rally 2.0 first time recently thanks to PS Plus and I can't help thinking how badass the "Codemasters" name is. And according to the Dirt Rally 2.0 performance test by DF, they seem really good at polishing their game and live up to the name.

Another honorable mention is Compile Heart. The name just makes me think their games are not running on 01010101 code but the feeling from their hearts.

What are your fondness of dev/studio names?

I liked Black Tusk, I like Naughty Dog, I like The initiative even though it's simple it screams high budget.

In general I like simple stuff, I like the rpg studio Spiders, I like Remedy even though it's technically Remedy entertainment or whatever.

It's a palindrome. And just like DONTNOD, palindromes are cool.

[bottledfox]

High Voltage Software is a dope name, and they're way underrated as a dev. I should make an appreciation thread for them sometime.

[Pryme]

I wonder if I like The Initiative and the Coalition because they remind me of names of WWE villain groups.
Sorta like 'Nation of Domination' and 'Legion of Doom'

 

[Gay Bowser]

I've always liked Heart Machine and Mojang.

Sega had some good ones, back when they named their divisions. I adored Amusement Vision's name and logo, and Smilebit was a good one too.

My least favorite have got to be The Coalition and The Initiative. Awkward to use and trying way too hard to sound "cool."

 

[Deleted member 1627]

Smilebit is like the best name! And the fucking logo, too. Help me.
