Um … what’s wrong with Picnik Premium?
July 26th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Much better. IMO, Deluxe, Plus and Pro are all equally as good, although ‘Pro’ will egender very high ‘professional’ quality expectations. Can the product live up to that?
Howabout: ‘Ultra’ or does that sound like a cheap aftershave?
July 26th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I picked Picnic Primo.
Deluxe and/or Ultra are totally overused and have lost all meaning.
Sky, hmm what’s that mean?
Pro, I’m just an average Joe not a professional so I don’t need or am going to pay for that. And if I really am a professional I’m going to trash talk this service for being inadequate for my needs. Either way its a bad choice.
Primo/Plus are descriptive and accurately explain that it is simply an upgraded tier. Primo’s a bit more unique so I’ll go with that, though Plus might more quickly/clearly explain to a new user what exactly it is.

I chose Picnik Pro. Can I have Pro account for voting this? :P

Sky is quite unique and helps distinguish Picnik promgrams from others. Deluxe, Pro, Primo are all so old fashioned software approaches.
Sky is blue, sky high, perfect for a Picnic. Go against “popular” opinion here. Go for the sky!

I picked Plus. It’s very clear. Picnik is good. Plus is more. And there’s alliteration to boot.

Why not “Picnik Gourmet” or “Picnik Connoisseur” or something similar in order to capitalize on the al fresco allusion in your name?
July 28th, 2007 at 10:44 am
I chose Plus for the same reasons as zenyenta. It’s simple and to the point.
IMO, Primo sounds entirely too fad-ish and limits your marketing power.
I somewhat agree with John and Chris regarding the “Pro” name, but with software, people are accustomed to Pro names for software that isn’t technically for professionals. In my mind, it simply conjures up an image of more features.

I want to vote for Picnik Gourmet — same reason as Terry — but it is not a choice, so I went with Plus as a very poor 2nd choice. The others are out. When you have problems, instead of viruses or bugs, you can have ants.
July 29th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Lynne might be onto something. How about Piknik Ants (additional neat touches) or similar words to fit the acroynm? Otherwise, I’ll just go with Picnic Plus!
July 29th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Picnic Personal Plus!
Sounds even better alliteration and gets the message over. After all…it’s aimed to be your own personal pictool!
July 29th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
To me, Primo sounds more like a type of sausage or sandwich meat, but maybe that would be good for a Picnik theme… I voted Pro but actually I agree with others that it’s a little ‘heavy’. Have you considered doing things in reverse and calling the free version something like Picnik Free/Basic/LE/etc… ?? This might give people a constant reminder that they’re not using the full product. Otherwise I’d go Gourmet.

How about PickNik Free For Dummies Only?
July 30th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
My two cents (some shamelessly pilfered from an Aussie friend of mine):
Picnik On the Grass
Picnik In the Shade
Picnik Lunch (because there’s no such thing as a free lunch, so the non-free version should be Picnik Lunch! Haha!)
Picnik Piñata (lots of goodies inside!)
Picnik Power! (they’re making a He-Man movie!)
Unfortunately your designer doesn’t like the feasibility of very many of them.

i chose picnik primo just because it sounds cool =]
July 31st, 2007 at 7:20 pm
Too funny – when I clicked on the link to see the name choices… I was half expecting to see “picnik ant” or “picnik PB & J” .. LOL
August 2nd, 2007 at 2:05 pm
I thought of a totally unique one – “Camphotonik” …. can be read as……camp (picnic) or it can be read as “cam” (camera – get it?)- “photo” – nik….perhaps for an upgrade option ?? ok maybe it’s best for the basic version that is no charge!
August 2nd, 2007 at 2:06 pm
ok.. primo it is
August 3rd, 2007 at 6:02 am
Picnik Supreme sounds delicious !
August 3rd, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Picnik Blanket. A blanket covers everything.
August 5th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
I chose “Sky” because it was different. :)
August 5th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
Picnik! Picnik!
if top of line, it would be Picnik Pro. Nothing else! Folks are already talking about the name Picnik.
August 6th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
I just learned about Picnik, and I’m already a big fan. What do you think about naming the complete version the Picnik Feast?
August 11th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
You should name it picnik photo
All the other choices do not make it abovious to the consumer what picnik is…….
August 15th, 2007 at 10:32 am
Picnik Blanket is good. Also, The Picnik Basket would be good for talking about the whole family of Picnik products.
August 21st, 2007 at 6:05 pm
I say Picnik Plus would have been best because Picnik pro sounds like a pro product for pros that you need to take a long time to learn which is not picnik. Also,is used so often that you don’t even give it thought. Deluxe sounds too over the top, picnik primo just doesn’t suit picnik, and picnik sky? what?That gives my no incentive to get it, plus “sky” doesn’t go with picnik. Overal, I wish more people voted for plus.

My Picnik With Flickr…
If you keep your photos on the web and want to do your photo editing on the web too, I recommend Picnik. So does Walt Mossberg.
[Picnik] is focused on being an editing complement to popular Web services — such as Yahoo’s Flickr, Google’s Picasa W…

I know I’m to late but I like the name ‘Picknik Elite’

Познавательно. Подпишусь-ка я на RSS пожалуй. :)

Большое спасибо, что просветили, и, главное, как раз вовремя. Подумать только, шесть лет уже в инете, но про это первый раз слышу.
July 28th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Весьма тонко подмечено. В чем-то себя узнал :)
