Good evening, ladies and gents! I place before you for discussion a subject which I havesthth ponderified upon for quite some time. I don't know whether to keep "Le Crouton Belchiere Studios" or go with "Jolly Crouton Media." I like both for various reasons, but I'm afraid the first is too hard to remember or say and the second is too generic in logo.
Consider yonder logos:
http://oldmanclayton.com/temp/lcbs-logos.png
http://oldmanclayton.com/temp/jcm-logo.png
One has an animated logo, (the other is pending) but if I post it it will be after I've heard thoughts solely on the names and static logos.
There are also these:

Ok, what sayest thou, oh noble membres of good stature? A simple one or the other vote will do, but I'll also take thoughts on just the names, thoughts on just the logos, thoughts on both... whatever! These are really the only two contenders as of now, but who knows? I could think of something else!
Thank you. Please place all trash in the appropriate receptacles on your way out.

I really like this JCM character the best!
It just seems to fit jolly for some reason.
Also for me Jolly Crouton is easier to remember because it's funny.
"Le Crouton Belchiere Studios" is too long for a domain name anyways
, and besides
I don't know how to pronounce "Belchiere" correctly.

Thank you! So you think it's not too generic or stereotypical? I was pretty set on switching until someone told me they liked LCBS better. I have a feeling I know which way this poll is going to lean.
BTW, I pronounced it "Bell-shee-air." (like in Pierre)

I don't think it's generic or stereotypical at all!
Also a quick Google of "Jolly Crouton" reveals that you are the only one to have every come up with the name. At least on the internet.
I'd buy jollycrouton.com it's very easy to remember, and not very long for a domain name. Edited by UrbanMonk

I always though the LCBS logo looked a lot like LGBS - which stands for Lesbian, Gay and Bi-Sexual.
Yeh - I'd go for Jolly Crouton...

Surely it would be "Les Studios de Crouton Belchiere", unless I'm very much mistaken (and it's going to be really embarassing if I am, because I did live in France for a year).
To be honest, any use of the French language outside of France (and other French speaking nations I guess) just sounds like pretentious bollocks to me.

It wasn't intended to sound like real French, but a comical use of certain French language "stereotypes" like "iere" and "Le." I asked someone from France and they said it was funny, like an old company from the 30's.
Doesn't really matter now since I'm switching.

Yeah, Jolly Crouton sounds better.

I think you should go with the logo with just a head. All the other logos have waaaay too much stuff going on i think...

I like Jolly Crouton much more, and the logo you chose is great. Suggestion: how about adding a square around the face?

What exactly do you mean? A background box of a certain color or just an outline? Because there's no real face shape for a background to show.

Ok, time for a shameless bump since I never got an answer. But it's not a useless bump, I have something shiny to share.

Defo, the animation is really comical and the sound effects are by far the thing that makes it for me!
