How do you create your own business name & logo?
This is really embarrassing to say this, but I'm a Graphic Designer and I forgot how to think of a personalized "business" name and a logo to go with it. I had a class where we discussed and talked about this, but that was like 2 or 3 years ago and I don't remember. :(
All I remember is that we had to use the "matrix" table thing. Like there would be a few column and a few rows. Then you take one column and one row, and"meet" them up to form something new. For example, if one column said Dog and a row said Playful; when they meet up, it would be Playful Dog. Besides the matrix box, I don't even know what exact words to use for the column(s) and row(s).
Hopefully you know what I'm talking about.
Can anyone help me?

You want to create logo for yourself or what?
My last staff job was in the marketing department of a corporation. We used to brainstorm product names all the time. I've never used a matrix, but I usually write down as many words that I think are applicable on a piece of paper and start randomly putting them together. It's also a good idea to walk away from the paper for a day or so to get perspective. Also, once you've narrowed the choices down, run them past a bunch of people whose judgement you trust and ask them, "What does this name mean to you?" without an explanation. If all you get are puzzled looks, go back and try again.
forum troll... google it
How did you know that?
User has no uploaded logos and "I'm a Graphic Designer and I forgot how to think of a personalized "business" name and a logo to go with it" is counter-intuitive. There are methods and formulas for brainstorming taught in school and they can be googled. Maybe it was a translation thing and I over-reacted.
You did not over-reacted. This questions can be found verbatim on several fora online. I have reported the user on the "the bots are back" thread as a troll.
I sent an email to Ivan and he responded that he thinks it's just a person who wants information. Seems like an odd way to get it.
Yeap, very odd, particularly because he/she posted the same question in several places: http://goo.gl/e1DQ9
...and doesn't seem to have come back for an answer. In some forums, that's considered a seagull.
What would be his benefit? It doesn't make sense...
It doesn't make sense at all. According to Wikipedia, a troll's post has "the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response"...
Maybe some social investment project? He writes it everywhere gets ideas and writes it to some University project?
How do you create...You must first mine the depths of the ocean for a rare mineral called "Designium." Once you have located it you can join the scores of others who have stopped after the difficult journey - or you can "refine" it. If you choose to refine it, it must be polished. Only through repeated attempts at refining and polishing do you increase your chances of creating the perfect piece. Once this rare state of the mineral is achieved, the bearer will be referred to as "Designer" and the story of their journey will be passed down for generations among others who seek their fortune in Designium.
