Band Name!

Throughout the following week, myself and my group are going to begin looking at our Ancillary tasks. As these consist of a Digipak and a Magazine cover it's important that we decide on a name for our band.
Considering we are an indie rock band that recognizably use elements of the gothic and vampire genre, we wanted to choose a band name that suited this and allowed us to portray a somewhat destructive and creepy feel to our fans...

Below is the spider diagram we created for the various band names we were choosing from:














The names we came up with were:
- Fragments
- Rush
- Cut off
- Sheer
- In Cold Blood
- Rocks
- Divide
- Shatter
- Broken
- Rebellious
- Generation
- Revolution

Although we had so many names to choose from, we all instantly agreed that 'In Cold Blood' was the most suitable name for our band genre and style, we mainly liked this name as it seemed best suited for the music video we are in the process of creating - including a cold hearted feel and quite a use of blood (fake). The Digipak's and Magazines too will have a similar gothic feel about them and this name seemed to match our theme really well. As well as this, the one word names didn't really appeal to us as  they seemed too simplistic and we wanted a memorable name for our fans.

Despite having agreed between the three of us, I thought it was important to get the public's opinion too, so I created a survey online which I posted on my Twitter feed so that people could access it and see what band name they preferred too...
I narrowed the choices down to four favourites so that it was easier to refine the information received:
Please view the survey here I will regularly be checking the results of the survey so that the public's preference can be posted at a later date.
