June 1, 2009SpeakStrong, Speak Smart and Speak Sweet Icons need new names. Suggestions?

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

I am experimenting with names for icons I use for the three sources of communication power – strength. savvy and heart. What do you like?

A. The thinker- values logic and reason. Says speak smart. Favorite pronoun is “it” because the thinker is impersonal. The thinker likes to label things.

1) Professor Itisa (It Is A) 2) Professor Sagacious 3) Professor Thinks A Lot 4) Other?

B. The feeler – values relationships, connection, play and beauty. Favorite pronoun is “we.” Builds webs and likes to hang out and be.

1) Web-be 2) Harmonious 3) Empress Cares A Lot 4) Other?

The doer – values results, action, concrete and physical reality. Competitive and territorial. Favorite pronoun is “I.”

1) Gekko (like the tycoon in Wall Street) 2) Izzie 3) Chief Does A Lot

I will be coming out with a pictorial adventure using these icons once I have them permanently named. Please make your suggestions here.

  1. I like your first choices for all of the them (1). They are short and sweet but also force you to think.

    B. The Feeler – Gophee

  3. I like names Nora Colbert suggested. Neat. Relative.

  4. The Thinker: Professor Itisa
    The Feeler: Web-be
    The Doer: I like the idea of calling this one “Ido”

  5. I believe they should simply be identified as:
    1. Thinker
    2. Feeler
    3. Doer

    As a visual person it is difficult for me to connect the icon illustrations with the cutesy names.

    Thanks for listening,
