Name the brand for an advanced electronic lock!
- Status: Closed
- Prize: $1500
- Entries Received: 748
- Winner: freelancetutor
Contest Brief
We are about to release our new electronic locking access control system and would like a fresh new brand for this. This new device is an electronic deadbolt that includes an API that lets the customer customize it and program it. This includes features that are unlike any other electronic lock that has been introduced. It includes a camera, motion sensors, zwave radio, wifi and bluetooth, lcd touch screens and much more. The system can interface with almost any device from your computer to your smart phone. The API allows apps to be installed similar to apps on a smart phone. I can't get too detailed on the product itself but we are trying to give a general idea on it's function.
The following important requirements for names that you submit for consideration are:
1) The domain name for the new name must be available for either purchase or registration as a .com
2) The name should be able to be trademarked by the US Trademark office so a simple trademark search should be performed before submission.
UPDATE:
We are seeing a lot of entries that use common words like "lock" or "smart". We've been down that path and any entry that contains a common word of combination of common words are extremely difficult to trademark. It's more of a 'system' than it is a lock. Also we see a lot that are more oriented for a domain name/web site than for a product or a brand. Short names are better and especially good if they form a fairly unique word.
Update 2: We held one other contest previously (a cad design) contest and we loved the results and paid it quickly. We are one of the highest usage Freelance employers and have 5 star ratings from all our Freelancer workers. Paying out to the Winner is no problem at all.
BONUS: To the winner we will also send you a prototype device when they are ready later this year and we will give you a free 2 year pass for our online communication service that comes with it. ($500+ additional value on top of the prize).
UPDATE 2:
Good efforts so far, some potential candidates in there. Here are some ideas to try to work words around: word forms that are based on latin or other languages that mean 'smart' or 'home' or 'secure' or 'strong' etc... Words based on greek, roman or any gods of intellect, home etc... Words that show building blocks like molecule, nucleus etc.. Anything catchy that seems like it is a thinking person's building block for their home or office. Just some additional ideas.
UPDATE 3:
Picking a winner later today! Some people have worked very hard and we are coming up with some prizes for them as well.
Good Luck!!

****This silly contest system on freelancer won't let us contact you to give anyone but the overall winner the prizes, please reach out to our website and we will process your winnings. Just do a google search for our name and 'relitouch' then fill out the form and our team will work out the details with you.

@kimmenezes, I feel you :)) I submitted 73 entries in total, with 7 entries rated with 3 stars, 1 with 4 stars and I wasn't chosen. I think I am the only one who submitted so many entries :))

Now that the winning brand has been chosen, perhaps a crafty tagline to go with it should be made into another well rewarded contest. :)

I/We Honoured Your Great Kindness but this is not a trend over here. We offered our creativity for a single appreciation or if you choose multiple winner. This will be a respect to the freelancer if you reward them by taking at least one best creation of his/her entries. Which you might use for your future products. Or just can book that to make future businesses. Only giving money as a reward is not what we are looking for. Hope others will also Glad if this happens. Regards

I guess many people have the same problem. Should I resubmit my unrated entries? Kind regards,

When I ordered all entries by "Time Submitted", I noticed that pages 28-32 have unrated entries. This makes more than 100 unrated entries for all participants.
