How Did You Name Your Space Company/Corporation/Industry?

Wanted a name that can be read both upside down and right side up, found a font that worked and put my last name in there to make it mine. Took me over an hour to make the flag, I'm horrible with Photoshop.

In first Science mode (pre-1.0) and then first Career (1.0-1.2) I used to call it Kerbal Spicy Problem. 

Now I'm doing my AEIOU Space Program. Guess my flag.

Please don't confuse these names with savefile names. Totally different things.

I always name my sandbox save "KatBox". I've now adopted using boring sequentially numbered save names for career saves, K1, K2, K3 etc. (ran out of name ideas and it makes keeping track of past saves easier).
To start with I never bothered with a name for my space program and just picked random flags, but now I've settled on flying under the banner of the (newly re-licensed) Tri-Optimum Corporation. I like the flag for it;

My in-game company was invented as a military ally to a protagonist race in my own sci-fi universe, and later an ally to Celestial Being and Katharon in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. I chose to have this company be able to (in defiance of contemporary sci-fi stereotypes) be able to colonize Venus due to it being closer to Earth than Mars is, and being an unlikely place for Earth forces to venture to, and have the base(s) of operations there. By consequence I named my company Deep Sky. Deep Sky's operatives are generally benign aliens from elsewhere in the galaxy, with camouflage and other powers but an allergy to GN Particles. I have yet to settle on a concept for their flag.

Aaaaand now I know what @ARS means, I'm satisfied. :P

My current 1.3 save game space agency name is "Stock Solutions inc." since I'm not using any game play changing or part adding mods for this Career save.

I sometimes jokingly call the space plane portion of my program "RIMP's Ugly Planes and Dirty Birdies" since I have an odd habit of producing planes that are extremely difficult to look at but fly well, lol.

I'm starting some sort of new fanworks story, so I randomly went to the interwebs, and found a random word generator, it had some fancy button that said "click this for more words" and I got a word that is a fancyish word for shining

don't worry thehis time it will be better!

also I typed all of this while looking at the television! keyboarding might be boring  but it works!

Usually don't name anything other then giving my large ships/stations the occasional reference to some obscure 80s flick or vidya. rest in peace Zardoz-1 Station

I did have 2 concept names for a while I was using with my career and sandbox saves back in I think 1.1 called Alvarog Dynamics, and Borelstolv Engineering Concern.

 

Lost the flags I made for them in one of my numerous HDD deaths :(
