Renaming StoryCards: The Results
Thank you to everyone for your input on renaming StoryCards. I've tried to carefully consider all your advice, even if the outcome may not seem to show it. And without further ado, StoryCards henceforth will be known as: StoryCards.

I don't think the trademarking issues are going to be a problem, since there are multiple products out there by the same name (thus if they were going to sue anyone, I should think they would have done so already), and none of them are roleplaying games anyway. Officially the product will be known, I think, as StoryCards Roleplaying, but the ambigram logo will just say StoryCards. I expect I can get StoryCardsRoleplaying or StoryCardsRPG as a domain without difficulty, and I need to pounce on that very soon. The name isn't so strange (using foreign words) to turn anyone off, and does a good job of describing the product, so despite the fact that it was never intended to be anything other than a working title, it does the job better than anything else I've heard. It even has a tiny bit of brand recognition, having been listed in the GenCon catalog twice now.

So there it is. Thanks again for all your input.

I took a ten-minute break earlier today, pulled out some paper from my recycle drawer, and started playing with invertible ambigrams. Not totally happy with any of them yet -- and the (thin-line pen-and-ink) style I seem to be gravitating toward may not be quite what you're after -- but I'll play more later and let you know what I come up with....

I have been playing around with ambigrams for Storycards. The S at both ends is very easy. :-) The t/d pair is not too much of a stretch. The middle letters are a little trickier. I've made a proof of concept rough draft which is still a little difficult to read, but it is legible. It definitely needs tweaking, but it's doable.

It's here, but for privacy reasons, I'm making it only visible to "friends". (If you tell me what your flickr name is, I'll make you a friend.)
