    Little help here...

    Hi folks!

    Firstly don't even lecture me about how UNKILTED! isn't a great name for someone who likes wearing Kilts (6 in my small collection) - there's actually a good reason.

    Long story short, i used to be 1 half of a company called KILTED CHAOS, we split up, and i logically became UNKILTED!

    Anyway, as a company name, and also lifestyle blog, I like the name and am writing up a description of what I think it means to be UNKILTED. So far i have this spin on it:

    "Being UNKILTED means its all on show, nothings hidden, its upfront and out in the open" - good start right?

    Anyone out there got any more good ideas on adding to the whole concept of putting a positive spin on the UN part of it.

    Oh, if it helps any -I do branding design/consulting - i'm Scottish, and don't take no nonsense, that's kind of why i feel the UN thing works so well. I was always taught to "keep it real" and while it loses me the more corporate clients, it wins me the more down to earth genuine ones - its all good!

    Looking forward to posting more on here and hearing your ideas too.

    Won't deal with the whole "unkilted" kilted thing, but sincerely hope you are still chaotic. Either way I can tell I like your attitude already.

    Isn't it a bit chilly in Scotland to go around unkilted?

    Re: Little help here...

    First, welcome to the rabble. I'm also a bit lost here but I'll wade in with one point...

    "Being UNKILTED means its all on show, nothings hidden, its upfront and out in the open" - good start right?
    Umm, not so much. There's a plain double meaning in that text and it may prove off-putting to some, particularly the corporate types you mention already losing. Humor is only funny when everybody gets the joke; in this case, just because "it's all on show" doesn't necessarily mean anybody wants to see it.

    Perhaps playing up your Scottish heritage ("Hey, a Scot without a kilt...is that even legal?") might do you better for promoting the company. Even tho' it's cool to have down-to-earth clients, the more staid ones often have the larger amounts of cash.

    Just sayin', ya' know?

    Welcome again.
