Naughty:
Why not? Most game company names don't make much sense.
But I'm glad you asked!

It's an uprban legend. The show I was watching when I got my inspiration was Mythbusters. :-)
PS: That's enough suggestions for Rocket Raccoon. I couldn't use it even if I wanted to.
Hey Mikey! He likes it! :-)
I dunno why anyone has a problem with the logo. I'm proud of it I think it came out looking great. Adding a character to it will be nice, but I think it came out realyl sharp looking. I spent a few hours on it and went though a thousand fonts and whittled them down to 15 or so which I then went through and eliminated one by one till I had maybe 8 or so, and then the one I have here stood out as the best one, though I had to edit some of the letters.
Btw, did you notice the word raccoon in the logo has stripes which suggest the tail of a raccoon? I tried lots of variations on that. The whole logo is just a bit of an accident really, I just keep trying stuff till something looks good. That's usually how I do art. The first iterations had white outlines, and a smooth gradient from top to bottomm, I also tried normal bevels, but the bevel with both sides being lightened plus an inner glow looked the most unique and professional.
Oh and speaking of "why raccoon"... I always wondered why Valve chose the name Valve. It's a pretty boring name, and a pretty boring object. Also, there's a company called "Double Fine", who got their name from seeing a sign on the highway that indicated speeding fines were doubled in that area. Lionhead on the other hand is the name of Peter Moleneuax's hamster.

2) See, now I was expecting a rocket, a raccoon or - ideally - both. Having read your explanation and your (thus far unrealised) dream for what the logo will become, I'm much more encouraged. To that end, your current text looks very nice. :o)
