To uniquely brand any product or entity today, all you really need to do is pick a consonant-heavy word, then remove the vowels.

I'm sure we're all familiar with the blog/record label named RCRD LBL. Then there's even Ocelot's answer for his OCELOT myspace-backslash-unique URL being taken, http://www.myspace.com/ocelotmthrfckrs.

While browsing myspace, I was pleased to find that myspace shifted their 'Brooklyn Style pizza' to the BRKLYN pizza.

It's an important day for MRKTNG teams across the world.
