Call Sign Ideas...

[Sticky]

Need some help from creative minds. My company was just approved for an FAA/ICAO call sign and designator. The problem is that all our requests were used by other companies. We're a aerial survey company up to our necks in film products.

Any suggestions?

ok, I'll try (i'm just using a random # after the name to see how it sounds)
skycam 72
survey 72
shutter 72
sight 72

what names did your company try?

call sign

How about ShutterBug?

 

[Sticky]

I like the SkyCam one! We thought about Shutter, but sounds bad to call an aircraft by the name. Survey was already taken.

 

[Sticky]

Shutterbug is cool, but the boss wouldn't go for it.

peepingtom?
perv?
upskirt?

 

[Sticky]

We tried our company name, but some firm in New Zealand has it. Tried Mapper with the same outcome. Photo and survey and all similar were taken

 

[Sticky]

I'm thinking Foot Print...

How about Talent-Keyhole?

The ex-military guys'll know what I'm talking about....

Big Brother?

Good, but we want to have controllers happy to let us fly at 1000' 2 miles from EWR, not think we're peepin' on everyone!!

"freeze frame"
"click it"
"zoomer" (I think "Zoom" is taken by AC)
"focus"
"pixel"

I wanted to put Focus in the requests, but the boss didn't like it for some reason.

F Stop

F Stop

Think there is a rule not allowing single letters, not sure though..

 

[Sticky]

LOL Say focus ten times real fast....you'll figure it out! :0

True, but he doesn't seem to have a problem saying it ten times fast when some one screws up!

 

[Sticky]

Thanks guys. Got some good ideas for tomorrow.

I wanted fuducial or aperture, but guess they fall into the too complex catagory while flying around NY for 3 hours.
