Members poolplayer Posted February 15, 2010 Members Report Posted February 15, 2010 ok i want to do leather work. I would like to make a saddle or 2. repair saddles. Make tack. I am also going to make pool cue cases as i play pool. I have had some requests. How does this name sound. We have this brook going thru our property called "Pokamoonshine Brook" So how about "pokamoonshine Leatherworks" I want a makers stamp wih a name on it. Be honest and give me some opinions Quote
Ambassador pete Posted February 15, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted February 15, 2010 OK I'll be honest. I think that it's a bit dated. Kind of a 60's feel to it. The brook that flows there is probably not well known throughout the county let alone the state so it's kind of an inside thing. Give us more information- where do you live, what state, state flower, bird or something. What county do you live in, what's your last name, is there a prominent landmark or historical site/event near there etc there are a lot of really good, professional people here. Some are in advertising, some in artwork, copywriters, etc. Give us something to work with and I I'm sure that we can come up with a really good name that reflects your work and lends itself to a great logo/makers stamp! write on! pete Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted February 15, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted February 15, 2010 Hate to say this ........that sounds like a Fly By Nite operation. why would you not just say your name and maker........ business cards and letter head could say that gosh awful name........ "you asked" Quote Luke
Members azrider Posted February 15, 2010 Members Report Posted February 15, 2010 If it was me I would go for something shorter. I call mine Drygulch Leatherworks, and that is a lot to fit onto a Maker's stamp. You might need a pretty big stamp to get that in, and the bigger they are, the harder they are to use. The first thing I thought of was Pokemon when I read your idea. "Moonshine Leatherworks" would be easier for most folks to remember.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 15, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted February 15, 2010 Does the maker stamp guy charge by the letter? You can't get it absolutely right ... that's the only rule. JLS Leather gets calls, they want to talk to JL (who doesn't exist). Apparently, that looked to someone like JL's Leather (?).

Timd Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 Mad River Leatherworks.... sounds pretty cool to me Quote
dirtclod Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 Granite Tack or Leather . Tag line Built Tough as Granite. I would check on Mad River before i used that. I know their is or used to be a Mad River canoe company and they might give you problems about having a name close to theirs I'm guessing they have Mad River trademarked. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Contributing Member UKRay Posted February 16, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted February 16, 2010 Mad River Leatherworks.... sounds pretty cool to me I'm with Tim - Mad River Leatherworks is superb!
