VectorBoy 0 #27 December 14, 2006 QuoteTony has his proprietary designs (Spitfire, Eagle, Nebula) and Jeff has his own designs (Aerobat, Mach1, Raptor). They are all "Tony Suits". One concern I have is at this rate of product developement that they will have run out of cool sounding names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #28 December 14, 2006 Quote One concern I have is at this rate of product development that they will have run out of cool sounding names. Finally, kind of a voice of reason. If the suit does not have a cool name it will be shunned and assumed to basically suck .. This on the surface seems to be an extremely poor marketing plan i.e. give a good name to a suit that is only transient... Maybe this will morph and they will start "infering" a similar sounding name just to add to confusion. Maybe go with a "Mach 1 - V3". Glean from a name that seems familiar and claim innocence on infringement of name.. Not only name recognition can result in that but this will open doors for mocking and ridicule for those that have the previous version.. The fast rate of development will be like in the electronics market; buy today and tomorrow a new better version will be released. You can get ridiculed before you even get it off the fed ex truck...

The airforce never bought a wimpy named fighter/interceptor from a contractor until they took it back and changed the name. Thats how projects named "have blue" were renamed to "night hawk" and repainted black over the blue. They were about to paint the shark mouth on it for added meaness but due to the angularity of the fuselage it would have looked like a shark that suffered a stroke so they left that off. Hey Tony guys here is another name for you "interceptor" just in case yer getting low. No need to pay royalties for its use. Its what we in the WS community are here for.
