One of the questions that we get accustomed to hearing is “what is your business model”? It’s an odd sort of thing to ask a business, but then again, web businesses are sort of odd. I take these questions as a good sign – people like what they see and they want to know that Picnik is going to be around for a long time. The answer, at least the short one, is that we plan on offering both free and pay versions of Picnik. Starting with the next release, you’ll see some features marked as — well, that’s our problem. We don’t know what to call the pay version. ‘Pro’ doesn’t seem to right, ‘Plus’ is better, but it doesn’t really grab me.

That’s where y’all come into the picture, or rather, the Picnik. We need your help. We don’t have the budget needed to hire some fancy naming agency to come up with something clever like “Essentials”. We’d love to hear your suggestions for a name for our pay version. It should convey the added value of the expanded feature set and it should be fun. And catchy. And bonus points for tying into our Picnik theme. The name should start with “Picnik” or at least contain “Picnik”.

What do you get in exchange for submitting the perfect name? In addition to our publicly recognizing your product naming prowess in this here blog, we’ll hang your likeness on our office wall and we’ll send you a wonderful, limited edition, designer series, Picnik t-shirt. And, if you’re local (Seattle), we’ll buy you lunch.
