Help Me Come up with a New Company Name ! ($250.00 cash prize)

We have recently acquired a small mail order business and soon plan to
market on the world wide web. Before we proceed however, we would like to
rename the company.

If you are interested in submitting a entry, please read on...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name Prize : $125.00 (U.S. Dollars)
Logo Bonus : $125.00

Deadline : June 1, 1996

Entries To Tim Mallardi
Interior Landscapes, Inc.
PO Box 802708
Dallas, TX 75380
(214) 373-2180 (voice mail)
mu...@airmail.net (E-mail)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------The Problem

The current name of the company is Interior Landscapes, Inc. Based on
this company name, one would probably assume that we plant small trees
and water flowers for a living. In reality we sell interior decorative
wall plate covers.


The Product

For those of you who are not sure exactly what wall plates covers are,
let me explain. The wall plates we sell are installed in the home or
office to support the standard electrical functions and switches, such as
lights, ceiling fans etc. Most homes and offices generally use the cheap
white
plastic wall plates. There is, however, a growing number of people who
accentuate their rooms with our products. We sell decorative wall plates
made from wood, marble and metals such as brass & steel.


The Goal

The company plans to expand the product line to similar merchandise in
the decorative home interior industry. With that in mind, please try to
think of a "catchy" name for us to do business as on the Internet. We are
also offering an additional bonus prize for anyone who would like to
submit a logo design along with the company name.


The Rules

Anyone may enter. Enter as many times as you like. The results of the
contest will be E-mailed to all participants after June 1, 1996. The cash
prize will be awarded once the name has been verified as being available
for use in the United States.


We're looking forward to hearing from you!

How about,

Useless Expensive Narcissistic Products, Inc.?

No, sorry, just kidding. Couldn't resist.

How about, "Plate Tech-Tronics"?


Ok, I'll keep my day job.
