For me, my name came from my logo, which i first came up with as a logo for a series of swords that i was 3d modeling in roblox, but i decided to repurpose it when i began making music

my og name was Looper but i grew tired of that name after 8ish months, so i randomly fisted my computer keyboard until a cool name came out of it aka Vizal I then changed to Vizil because i was calling myself vizil and not vizal. Don't really have a logo but the current one is from an obscure tv show i used to watch when i was young. Brands are fucking gay
i wanted to buy kerbal space program on steam and i had to think of a username so i just came up with something. original is kurpingspace2
My whole name is lorenzo
Renz is my nickname
i hit the random button on some website i cant remember a few times
bonus points if you knew who i was before
My name is an obscure reference to a specific scene in Toy Story 3. I dunno if I'm getting deja vu, but I feel like I've answered this same question in another thread before.
I don't have a logo yet, but I do want to get one at some point.
Interesting question! Do you use your username on audiotool also for other music related (or unrelated) accounts on the internet or is it audiotool specific? If so, I'd be interested why that is the case
i use my same name for every website that i have an account on because i didnt want to have to remember several usernames
that makes it a lot easier, but what about recognizability? is it important to have the same username on multiple profiles to, lets say, consolidate an artist name or is it not the case?
that is the case

btw you've had that logo for 3+ years so that is your logo
yeah thats the case for me on media sharing websites, but i dont have that in mind when i sign up for gaming sites, shopping, etc.
I love Star Trek and always liked the Pathfinder ship class best
Sandburgen was the first word that came into my mind when I needed a username for my registration. The deletion of the vowels some years ago was a reaction to everything in this world not going the way it should. A silent protest against over-verbalization, so to speak. (one of these two stories is a lie)
GearbotGD - Gearbot Music - gearbot.exe - Luminescent - Lumin - Lumin.exe - g3ar_bot - Virus Machine.
My pfp used to be the smiley emoji with headphones, then I edited it to be eviler looking in MS Paint. Then I had a crappy gear with a face logo, then just made something in Canva for luminescent. I had drawn myself and used that for g3ar_bot. Then Jovee made me a logo.
My profile pic? This can't be my logo because it isn't even my image. However, I may commission something like this for my own use as my "branding".
ever used that name for music related thing outside of audiotool?
what do you mean by media sharing sites, which kind of media formats does this include? also, do you use the username for media related offline things?
quite a transformation, I think I first recognized you when you had gearbot.exe.
How do you realize recognizability? How are people supposed to know that Virus Machine used to be Lumin who used to be Gearbot?
it's something I have to sacrifice every time I change my name.
so, basically building up reputation from scratch or actively letting people know about the changes?
I mean sites like youtube, soundcloud, spotify, bandcamp, etc. And i use my username for basically everything unless ive said otherwise
I just realized bc of this thread that we have your minecraft head floating around the server @gearbotgd
that's pretty funny
Used to be Death by the Machine cause I was an edgy 11 year old who listened to too much Fear Factory. Then, sometime after that I started making EDM and changed my name to Antigravity. THEN, I shortened it to Anti and started making chill beats/getting into experimental music. Then finally, I decided to fully immerse myself into experimental music after being inspired by the amount of prog metal I listened to, and pretty much just made up some random ass word to look sophisticated. I don't really have a logo, but I always try to maintain a dark or unsettling aesthetic because it fits with my venty music.
all of these are really cool to read, thanks for the responses guys :)
i was on the toilet then took a shit that was in the form of random letters and it said dugz.
Yes, since then that is my name on Soundcloud and other platforms as well. But there are not many more activities outside of Audiotool
This is exactly how my shit looks like every time
yeah I remember way back when you were 'Looper'
I have a couple if different one's . One you may be more familiar with is DragonForce. my birth right is that of a dragon, but i do not claim the draconian order. so the dragon force is a my ex's handle we combined them. then there is the Blue House which is an umbrella over branches. the blue house started as an experience of a home i lived in. then from there it goes Oracle which is me seer, then there is oracle's closet which has all my hidden artists and work. including my own. currently i am learning about my new gift as i wish to use it to heal people with the frequencies and tones created. I have a tribe or I call it my clan. We are Earth Angels. many of you know what we are. light workers who speak the light language. i have no doubt some of you are yourself. anyway, i have not come up with the name for my clan and the work we will produce yet;. i am open to ideas. i am finding that even though i am awakening, and learning all these things that are new to me, your generation already knew and are light years ahead of me. how am i to lead so far behind? I need help and will sit down shut up and listen to the enlightened one's born into your generation. i know that you have a great deal you can teach me. LOL even the one that sat down and took a shit for his name. i am a misfit too. i am the outlaw and the trouble maker so you are not going to shock me i assure you. be you. i do not judge. light and love mi nephs M.
oh right I forgot this guy was mystic as fuck
Yes i suppose i am but not a guy. I am a women. :)
Ah
Gotcha
First alias: The2ndFREDition
Story: At first I was 'ingeniously' going to use the name "FREDiculous" for basically everything, but then I thought,
"This is too genius not to have been thought of before."
So I checked YouTube and realised there was already a channel with that name so I disappointingly changed it to "The2ndFREDition" to represent the fact that I wasn't...the first
Second Alias: FRED.
Because I just found it more professional
Now: FRED♪
Because I liked it
And it makes sense
...and people say it looks like the "verified artiste" symbol
No logo story
I like playing on words. I first came up with "Chord of destruction" before I recognized that too few people might get the reference. So I came up with "Known As I" which is a play on words as well.
The logo comprises my main role on this platform and some minor secrets someone already found on my wall.
this is kind of mundane, but i like telling this story anyways. so a lot of the time i like to just randomly doodle during class, and i was in biology class. super boring. it was my fourth class, so i slowly started drawing the ¨4th¨ faster and faster and faster until i realized that it looks the same as it would look upside down if written a certain way, so i started writing it like that. i soon realized that that would be a good new username, to kind of break away from the old obsession over the amazing world of gumball. that of course was when i was rly into the show, and my alias was ¨gumball¨ but i eventually started brain storming ideas, until i came up with the fourth dimensional gamer. now that was fine and dandy until everyone i started meeting started out calling me ¨gamer¨ i dont wanna seem like some sort of stereotypical gamer that plays fortnite, call of duty, and like... idk, every nintendo game ever? so i changed it to ¨the fourth dimension¨
i added uwu at the end of my display name here because i uwu unironically and i like being cute. go ahead, shoot me, im not a furry... im a weeb.
this logo i have right now is the slug cat from the game by adult swim named ¨rain world¨ that markiplier played... O N C E... dammit mark, when are you gonna play it again???
thats pretty cool
im gonna shoot you in the eyes
hey, i still get the w

in high school my name was "nick123456"
i did somethin stupid and my ass was kicked into iss one day
bored out of my shit, i decided i need a name change, after a few hours of brainstorming, i came up with the name vulken
this was about the time avengers 2 came out, u know "age of ultron"
i thought it would be cool if i made an ep or smthn called "Audiotoolers - Age of Vulkron" and then change it back after the ep
the idea never progressed beyond that, and my name stuck ever since
uwu

The way I got my name Namahage was a funny story actually (not really). Basically, my first name was national, I was on looplabs (my account is still there). Then I discovered that national is actually extremely generic and terrible. So then I changed it to Matrix. I thought it sounded cool bc I'm stupid. I then realized that I needed to stop trying to come up with names that I thought others would like, and stop trying to be cool and fit in. SOOO, I ditched matrix too because that name is bad. So a while ago I played a game called tokyo xtreme racer X (Import tuner challenge in america), and I raced a boss named namahage. I loved the name when I first heard it. I hadn't played the game in a while so my name was namahash for a while because I remembered it wrong, then I discovered that it was actually Namahage. So, I searched the web to see if any other producers had that name, which of course, they didn't. This name really matches my personality and alot of people call me namahage in real life because of what a namahage is and I guess I match that or whatever. And runningonempty is my collective, we're still working on things but the name runningonempty came from a while ago in events I don't wanna talk about. But the name pays homage to a friend of mine. Everyone has a tank so to speak, and while some can fill their tanks at will, others "run on empty" (as we all do sometimes). But the difference is, some stay that way and cannot get out of it. Another goal of the name is to bring awareness to mental illness and depression, anxiety, and other problems that so many of us have to deal with. My beats express my emotions as I'm a quiet person and tend to keep my feelings to myself most of the time. That's why most of my music sounds so angry, because i LOVE angry music and screaming, growls, death rap, underground rap, stuff like that. My music can be happy, sad, angry, or in between. It's not for everyone but for those who appreciate it, I appreciate to no end.
logo is currently a picture of a church i did 2 years ago
the way i got my name was when i encountered this website probably i think back in early 2015 and i was pretty young, had no idea what i was doing and was making a big embarrassment out of myself, i was thinking of a name and i just came up with TheCrowdGoesBoom. i basically named it that because "the crowd would go boom listening to my epic music"
why not change it? it sounds horrible
i shoudl do that to be honest
logo is currently a picture of prince porky from angry birds epic
Before making music I wrote comics and in the story, there is a whole separate language. "Serra Netti" in the story directly translated to the word "Anything" and now I use it as a name. I like a lot of stuff so I don't want to be tied down one genre so I do "Anything".
logo is currently a picture of Spinister from Transformers while i was looking at pics of .....uh...mmm.....HHHH... erotic decent
My name has a lot of meaning. (This might be (is) very long.
.
7yrs ago "Neon" was because I was top tier chemist student, an i guess like most, became a little attracted to Neon. As a joke, My friends and I labelled me as "Neon"--kinda like an analogy to an aspect of my personality. If it weren't Neon it would have been Argon or Xenon. This is the start of my name So things could have turned out much different if it were not Neon. Eventually, "neon" became a base part of many usernames. .6yrs agoA common name for me on games had become Neonkiwi (Neonkuwi sometimes because I can't frekin type). A username exclusive to my gaming console was The Neon Kiwi Lights (TNKL -- now say the acronym...).

5yrs ago (smh, what am i doing?) My interest in electronic dance music spiked during the summer about 5.5 yrs ago, thx to a friend who introduced me to Monstercat. Before I know it I was experimenting with FL Studios demo program. After my first publish I realized I needed an artist name. Back then I had a serious sense of being "unique" and "indifferent" (:profusely_sweating:). .3yrs ago (I exist on AT now...faintly)It so happened to be in art class that my mind pieced together the meaning of TRC. A little egotistical sounding if you ask me:
TRC means "Talented, Rythmical, Creative".
At this point my artist name was incorporating more than just my musical talents.
.
PRESENT DAY (congrats, you made it this far! My bad...)
I've been thinking about how obnoxiously long my artist name had become.
Take your artist name and count your syllables. Then count this
Ne-on-T-R-C-2-50 (or 2-5-0)
Frikin'...(1, 2, 3...) -- 7 or 8 syllables!
I'm on edge to change or not, pls help!
RaN oUt Of ChArAcTeRs.. thx AT.

(_TL;DR _ )
*I like the element "Neon" and it became a base username for me.
*TRC - "Talented, Rythmical, Creative"
*"25" for some reason became my favorite number... I am one mad lad.
*"0" became a place holder for anything else I wanted in my name

I had recently deleted my 3rd audiotool account, or I think I was banned lol idk, and ran off to fl, however I missed audiotool, and wanted to make a new audiotool account. I had been on the dylan tallchief discord server, there was role that had a really fucking hilarious name, it was called "Crippling Compression" so I stole it, and now the alias of my shitty audiotool account.
Logo is currently from a specific episode of Southpark
solid color pfp, is because I noticed tons of aesthetic people do that, so I wanted to meme them , lol
goin around making all the covers the same solid color. An example is heissen's old account syrup dad and trainwave, as well as others, like craig u, except craig u is a gradient
bump for more responses possibly?
