Future corporations
DescriptionIron Sky is set in the near future – 2018, to be exact. A lot of things have changed here on Earth, but mainly everything stays the same on the outside – just like ten years ago compared to present day. Being a fiction film, one of the things we can’t use in Iron Sky is real corporations and corporate logoes (unless, of course, they give us millions and buy an intrusive product placement, preferably company tagline installed into the dialogue). This task is all about making up new corporations. Here’s how it works: make up a believeable name for a corporation. It can be a corporation of *any* kind, just as long as it’s big, and add a short description along with the corporation name you came up with, like what type of a company this would be. And don’t forget: it can be comedic, but preferably it’s more than just changing one letter to another or making up a dirty word – be creative. Ps. If you feel graphically creative as well, you may add the company logo to the description (a rough sketch will do), but we have another task coming right after this one focused on creating the logoes for the companies. Off you go, show me what you got!
ShotsMoon Cheese Corp.This one may be pretty thick irony, but I guess that'll just make it better... :) This rapidly growing corporation is producing and marketing a specialty cheese, labelled Moon Cheese, worldwide. Their marketing tells it's the "_original_ Moon cheese", of course. It's a frequent target of jokes, because nobody really believes the Moon would be made of cheese, except for the kids, whose legs are often being pulled by telling them "There are men on the Moon collecting the Moon cheese, and they bring it back to the Earth for sale." Sometimes the jokes even go so far, that they tell those men on the Moon are "Nazis who fly there and back with their UFOs". But no one really knows where the cheese comes from, because the Moon Cheese corp is a huge and mysterious corporation. And who could care less. It's just delicious, and that's all that matters to anyone. Of course, this would be a double joke in the movie. While being a target of joking, the Moon Cheese corp would actually BE a Moon nazi managed cover organisation selling REAL Moon cheese... The Nazis would be frequently transporting the cheese all over the world from their Moon base for funding and to cover their operations. No one would ever know. For except the viewers, who see the backrooms of the company, where the Moon nazis are occationally playing cards or whatever... S.I.S. Corp.Summit Insured Security Corporation... 'Keeping the world from blowing it's top.' Turning the Volcanoes that frighten you and your family into safe, attractive energy plants powering your home and keeping this from happening. BOOOOOM!

Valhalla Media GroupA series of mergers and takeovers of various news and entertainment corporations around 2010 resulted in the formation of the Valhalla Media Group. They are all-pervasive and have interests in every aspect of mass entertainment and information distribution. The choice of name is intended to throw some suspicion about their involvement with the Nazi invaders. Micro World MotorsA scientist in southern California was attempting to extract the salt from salt water in order to solve the world's growing need for potable water. In his many different methods, all successful, his main goal was to discover a way to do it using the least amount of energy. A surprising event occurred when experimenting with micro-waves. His thought was, the vibration of micro-waves would literally "shake" the salt from the water molecules. Instead, the vibration caused the sodium molecules to create a massive amount of friction. Basically, salt water caught on fire. The idea becomes incredibly popular and the Government funds a massive expedition into creating an engine that would run on salt water. By 2013, the first generation of Salt-Water Engines were put into vehicles. This technology revolutionizes the energy industry. The man who discovered the process and had a significant hand in creating the engine forms the company, Micro World Motors (MWM). MWM develops engines for all types of vehicles. With the advancing shorelines across the southeastern U.S., as well as the entire west coast, the company becomes a conglomerate super power virtually overnight; General Motors folds in with the company and there are no competitors left in the field of Transportation on American soil.
