Hey, has anyone had interesting project code-names that you’d like to share?
I’ll kick it off with a few:
- Balvanie, Cardhu, Talisker, Glenfarclas, Bowmore (a product family - launches were fun!)
Luxor, Destiny (flagships)
Sonoma, Napa, Nagano
Xena, iCruiser, Whistle, Carlsburg,
the Visor, the Cylon (descriptive, because or the product look)
Matador (my favorite - from local bristol meatpie the client liked)
Is HardCandy a reference to the movie? If so, I’m curious who the target market was/is. Haha
Just thinking about the movie makes me wince a little bit.
Petricore is interesting… is there a meaning you can share?
Kenny - awesome!
HardCandy - edgy!
Some cool aviation code-names:
Skunk-Works
Aurora
Altair
Orion
Apollo
Mercury
Space-X Falcon & Dragon
Petrichor is the smell from hot asphalt after it rains.
‘Kenny’ literally looked like Kenny, with the hood.
