#10 – Invite the Dinosaurs
Elfred politely inquired what the problem was. The two women scientists stood in the back of the room, their irritated comments, way out of proportion for such a meeting and certainly anything but “Christian”. Their complaints stemmed from feeling insulted because of the lack of “science†in the painting. But rather than encouraging the artist they removed themselves from the room. The six remaining scientists looked sheepish as they rolled up their sleeves. Their constructive criticisms would be tremendously helpful and appreciated, adding a wonderfully prehistoric feel. Soon excitement replaced the thick atmosphere of criticalness as ideas were thrown on the table for consideration.
“More dinosaurs Elfred,†they said as they scrambled for reference material. Elfred is highly visual and the more illustrations they produced the more excited he became. Scientifically accuracy was brewing by the minute. With new “food†for thought under each arm, Elfred eagerly trekked back to the studio to pour over the ideas.
Meanwhile a name for the company was still lacking. Ark Media and Heaven’s Think Tank were the only two names that could possible replace Bibleland. I went to a professional naming company. The president asked me if Bibleland tested poorly. I said it did. She remarked that most successful names do NOT test well. So after much thought and debate it was settled. The organization that would publish biblical resources spanning the gamut from fine art, such as The Invitation, to DVDs and all available forms of media, would be called Bibleland Studios. The creative, brainstorming, “factory of Biblical ideas†aspect perfectly captured by adding ‘Studios’ to the name. Bibleland Museum would have to wait another day.
