Which should it be?

artsgraphica or arsgraphica?



 
  • IMO, the site is dedicated to ART and not to ARS. (Note I said ARS and not ARSE.) Therefore, why not arTSgraphica? Seems more logical.

    I'm with Pyro43 :) artsgrahpica sound much pro and better rather than arsgraphica. Ars more like, someone with short tongue or tongue that get burn by hot coffee :) but anyway. I just a member without a red heart. Ars or arts i will bow to it...

  • 'artsgraphica' sounds like a stupid name from stupid people who don't know the phrase 'ars gratia artis.' And it sounds dumb, like if you had a site about medical information which referred to things as 'boogers' or 'snot' instead of 'mucus' or whatever.

  • If changing it to 'artsgraphica' attracts more people through the site then I am all for the change!

  • I dunno if the name has much to do with the traffic. I'm not an expert website promoter by any means... Someday soon I'll get some t-shirts for this site, but I can't until we decide the name! Here is how I am thinking: ars - cool and latin - a close cousin with arse, aka ass - harder to spell over the phone and in conversations - "it's A, R, S graphica.". harder to spell = less memorable arts - not as cool, not as hip, harder to say outloud - easier to spell, easier to remember - no association with ass - I already registered the tradename with the state (didn't for arsgraphica.org)

  • I hate to say it, but I say Artsgraphica. Just because that's what everybody thinks I'm saying when I tell them about the site. I hate spelling it out to people. And when I don't spell it out, they come back to me and say they couldn't find the site I was talking about. Yes, Arsgraphica is a witty name, but it's too witty and over most peoples heads. Sometimes easy and simple has better benefits. Let's face it, most people are not fluent in Latin. The general public thinks of the word art, not ars. (just a personal opinion) Have you thought of using a different name altogether?

  • I say Artsgraphica..only because I am a Simple Person who likes things easy to understand and explain. Yeah it is kool to be different , but if you want more traffic it needs to be EASY and SIMPLE..just my cent and a half

    Let us have a logo contest, just for fun :) no prize money but whose logo get the most votes, win....

  • If we were to do a logo contest, there would have to be some "real world" constraints: 1) It would have to print on a t-shirt/business cards/fax/etc (which means at most black, white , one pantone color . I'd prefer just two colors though cause printing is cheaper that way) 2) It would have to look good at the current size or smaller: 300W x 70H 3) It would be great if it incorporated .org so you know it's a website. I wish I did that on the photographica logo. 4) It would have to be avalible as an EPS or some other well known vector file format.
