Potential Names for the Band

We chose a different name for the band instead of the original 'Snow Patrol' because viewers who have watched and listened to Snow Patrol will not have a certain expectation as they see the band's name, on the other hand they will have an unbiased opinion of the finished production we have made, obviously Snow Patrol have been very effective in the style they have used where as we wanted to see what we came up with would be effective.

Names -

1) Hole in the wall
2) The Clergymen
3) The untamed
4) The Pigmy's
5) Requiem
6) Sphinx
7) The Wookies
8) Ignite

All the above were chosen largely based on there abstract nature which follows a theme used by many indie/rock bands. For example the indie band The Wombats is a good example of the application of this abstract naming process.

We highlighted in red the main considerations we may use out of the 8 band names.


We finally decided on the name IGNITE. The reasoning behind this is that it contrasts heavily against the mood the band emits to its audiences. The word ignite means to set alight, and is closely linked to the idea of fire, which of course is bright and warm. Fire is often used as a symbol for energy, happiness, passion and hope. This is why we decided on the name as it brings out much of the implied meaning in the bands songs and highlights sometimes hard to see messages through the grey, dark imagery used. Also the word Ignite, flows well when said and has a rounded sound, making it appealing to consumers. Not only this, but the short, polysyllabic word is easy to remember making it easy to be accessed.
