Name For Courier Services?
As me and a few friends are braking out and opening our own messenger company im thinking of names. We are in Sweden but english names totally work here so was hoping you guys were up for dropping some names?
Please feel free to go wild or by all means be boring and appropriately corporate as well .) Im thankful for all suggestions and or any inspiration. Cheers Last edited by tuscanyswe; 04-20-2018 at 01:01 PM. |

Hmm well i would like to stay off the food delivery train as i personally dont like to deliver food. But the business in general is moving more n more in that direction so it may be hard to avoid it all together. This will however be a "classic" courier service for the most part.

Just a few off the top of my head... which I'd be surprised if others don't already have similar names.
VeloCity Couriers 5 Star Couriers (could be interesting for logo/brand) Final Mile Couriers Cloudberry Couriers (Sorry, had to throw that one in. My dad traveled to sweden years ago and really enjoyed Cloudberry liquer by that name. And everytime I think of Sweden, I think of how I can get some of that liquor for him, as we drink it each year on thanksgiving, and the current supply is down to 1 bottle, I think. I see now that it is actually from Finland, and this calls into question everything my dad has ever told me!) Not sure of the birds in your area. That might be an interesting angle to look at. They are fast and agile, might convey the right message. Something fierce (like a raptor) might send the message if the businesses you send are rough around the edges. Also, song birds are pretty nonconfrontational and generally have good associations already. If it is a more tame clientele, that may be the way to go, or if you're serving the public.

Direct Delivery Systems. |

Thanks, thats a thoughtfull response cheers
Actually one of my colleagues wants T-Rex well its one of his suggestions anyways. I think the thinking here is they have really big legs and tiny arms or something similar .) Personally i think its to Testosterone-based. I would prefer to steer away from the macho messenger go fast brake for noone attitudes in the name and go for something funny or just neutral with a possitive load like you are on to with the bird theory. One name that keeps coming up in our talks is Joyride. I like it on the one hand, on the other hand i think it could perhaps carry a sexual ? undertone. But i think its kinda playful and i like that idea of that. I dont want to be another company with just an appropriate name for the business. We who will be working here are all pretty easy going but very serious about our jobs as everyone will have been deliverying packages for years allrdy from the get to. Haha well you know we have all been through that "this brings into questions what my dad says". Its tough but we will still love them just the same .) Thanks |

Awful name.
"To joyride is to drive around in a stolen vehicle with no particular goal other than the pleasure or thrill of doing so." |

Paceline is neat but swedes who are not cyclists wont know the meaning of that word even tho our english is pretty good or even great on average. Its just not a common word to know i believe.
Direct delivery systems to me sounds like a really big organisation with an idea on how to upgrade the internet or something like that .) I fear like these type of names can just sound like we are blowing smoke. Id like it to be more down to earth and just be really really good at what we do instead. (not saying you were not great ) Last edited by tuscanyswe; 04-20-2018 at 01:39 PM. |

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the word Joyride was crime/criminals/Grand Theft Auto etc. Not something you want associated with a delivery company, or any company! |
