What you guys need is animal and/or color references if you want contemporary pretension

Think "Grizzly Bear" "Golden Animals" "Whale Tooth" etc.

Maybe.....

Black Zebra
Penguin Fight
Koala
Teal Leopard
Suckling Piggy
Snake Charm Blues
White Orchids

Or some kind of mix and match with any other color/animal reference. Good luck!

When people ask you what it means, make something up. They'll either think your a pretentious gasbag (true), or they'll worship you. Win, win.
