Request opinions on logo name

[Ozlanrz]

Hey guys,
I'm in the process of setting up a console based LAN event in my local area and I need some thoughts on the actual name for the event(s) before Logo creation.
As i'm in Australia, the even will either be called Ozlanrz or AusLanrz, which do you think?

They both have their unique appeal. I lean toward Oz. Can you tell us a bit more. Maybe about yourself, your company, your mission . . . ? And what does the rz stand for? Thanks.

[Ozlanrz]

Sure
A couple of months ago I was playing Xbox and thought It'd be cool to go to a LAN party in my local area. I looked around and there wasn't 1 single xbox LAN happening anywhere in my state. So I saw an opportunity to make some money, have a lot of fun and so I decided to run my own My mission is to provide the best possible LAN party to people.
I'm big on professionalism so this isn't to be taken lightly, but in saying that my target crowd is a bunch of nerds :P
The rz doesn't stand for anything, it's just better than having "OzLaners".... looks kinda lan(m)e lol

Hi mate, OZ looks better than AUS, simply because the AUS version could be seen as Austria and on a world stage OZ is seen as to mean AUSTRALIA land of the roo.

Some good thoughts
Any else have any ideas they'd like to put forward?

Aussielan lol you can confuse them by making them think you missed of the D. Do you really need to put the lan of any abbreviation in the name.

why not just have a cool name and a slogan not sure if it is for competetive use or just fun, It could be a new MLG leg before I Know.

for example if you had a clan called cocwars (abbreviation of an official charity event standing for call of the community not me being rude, Just couldnt think of a good clan name)

it could be
cocwars
The ultimate lan party for xbox360

I think the "Lan" in the word does well. It's also a pretty clear indication for what the event is. The additional information on flyers/adverts will inform those who don't know what it is ;)
For now, its either one or the other. Vote.

well if that is your choices I would go for the oz 1 however both are difficult to read, I would have thought you would want something simple and catchey

[Ozlanrz]

Like COCWars? haha
Seriously though, gamers would understand it, and the flyers I'm making with MW3, GOW3, Halo Reach titles on it will give a big indication as to what the event is about. I'm sure there will be little confusion.
Thanks for the thoughts though

well considering cocwars was organised by MLG players and had some of the worlds best call of duty players, sponsored by major gaming companies and was a worldwide event that happens every year streamed on twitch and youtube live makes over $15,000 for charity yeah I would say from a promotional and marketing side it works.
