Anything is brandable. You just need to apply basic brand principles to it. Something I rarely see anyone in adult do. When was the last time you saw a Brand Bible or Style Guide for a porn company?

In the content delivery game, I would suggest having a domain name that gives you a leg up on google would be a good idea. No one types in DICKHEADFILMS to google.

This might be useful reading for you:

"Branding is a way of clearly highlighting what makes your product or service different to, and more attractive than, your competitors'.

A brand goes much deeper than just your company logo.

The intelligent use of design, advertising, marketing, service proposition, and corporate culture can all help to generate associations in people's minds that will benefit your business.

Branding is your attempt to harness these associations to help your business perform better. Any business or organisation can benefit enormously by creating an accurate brand, ie one that represents their true values. Therefore, it is important to always be clear about what your business stands for."

I would certainly suggest a Ronseal approach (does what it says on the tin) would be something that could differentiate you from other content providers.

It should be used as a transparant and global brand summing up exactly what you do so people are under no illusion as to the service you offer.

The trouble with launching a new brand in porn is that there is so little standout. Most companies look the same. You could swop out any logo on any ad in AVN and no one would notice.

Therefore, taking a totally transparent approach (ExclusiveVODContent) would give you that stand out.

Of course, if you prefer an English idiom that will not translate overseas and is something that is derogatory, then cool. Maybe that is the look you are going for, pardon my mistake.

Was just trying to offer some other thoughts. If they are not wanted, cool. But it seems strange to ask for opinions and then slag off someone for having the audacity to actually do what you asked for.

All the best

Such a long reply... can I get cliff notes ?

First off, no we're not trying to fit a business around a couple of domains we have... Around a year ago we come up with the idea of what we wanted to do, we searched for good names... obviously the first 100 we come up with were indeed gone... however we found the 3 above and we like them (as you said it's all subjective)

Of the three I prefer DICKHEAD as I have said, just want to know if it's a word people know in the USA and if so in what capacity... it's a very close call with HARD ON FILMS in my opinion...

So to clarify... we had the business idea first, and then sought out names we felt were good. As I said we are looking to create a name people associate our production with... we will then sell it on a number of ways... I do not want to put VOD in the url... as it will not only be VOD...

Wow "appallingly bad" lol... subjective ? constructive critism ? lol... at the end of the day who know's when/if a name takes off... "google" for example, I mean WTF !? I prefer my GoYay.com for a search engine, heard of it ? lol...

Talking of what it says on the tin, can you get any more better than HARD ON FILMS then ???

Anyways I dont want to get into a argument and added to your hit list... I dont agree, it's all about opinions I guess... I might launch it has DICKHEAD or HARDON and not doing anything... you might launch something with watchourVODandcomelikeamuddafucker.com and be a millionaire Rodney... I mean Damian
