My brother-in-law is going to start a window washing business.

He is stumped as to what to name it though...but once he does, will need a logo, biz cards, vehicle lettering, etc - which is where I would come in on the sign end.

I have given him such names as "Clear-View"... "Crystal Clear"...but they are already used as you might imagine...

So... He needs some catchy name that relates directly to...and creates a visual image of glass/window cleaning. Something that will stick in your mind.

Brite, shiney... some sort of word that can be spun into "John Doe's Window Cleaning Service" or something of that nature.

Any good ideas out there? Thanks.

We'll get it so clean it'll be invisible.

Sorry, Todd. Can't come up with any serious ones....

I'd avoid anything that doesn't specifically say something about cleaning and windows otherwise he's gonna have all these calls about cleaning carpets or installing new windows.

Gleaming Glazing - glazing is common referring to glass.

Dazzling/Luminous/Lustrous Window Service - or I'd say just "Lustrous" as the name, like one of those snotty one word names, and use "window detailing" as a by-line.

While I'm thinking about it I would probably avoid "Window Service" in any name as it implies more than cleaning, like re-glazing or window replacement.

Seriously tho -

I have a business associate with a franchise window cleaning company called FISH Window Cleaning. The FISH comes from the founder's Christian faith. Regardless, I think some professional sounding name with WINDOW CLEANING after it would be the best bet.

Professional Window Cleaning
On Time Window Cleaning
Expert Window Cleaning
Unsurpassed Window Cleaning
(His Name) Window Cleaning

You get the idea...

I like grime Fighters, which I see is used by others already... & I was liking my own impulse of glass act, which was already in play as well, though I hadn't recalled ever hearing of it. Anyway, I agree... lots of good ideas. If I ever need some ideas, this is sure a great place for the group think brainstorming session!
