GoKawiilCraig Hickman recounts how he named and developed Kid Pix
In a first-person account, Kid Pix creator Craig Hickman explains how he settled on the name 'Kid Pix,' favoring three-letter words that echoed his family's naming pattern and worked well visually and phonetically. He describes testing the software directly on his son and preschoolers to refine its interface, and notes that Broderbund later tried unsuccessfully to rename the product before a hired naming consultant advised against changing it.
