We didn't entirely escape the trope of naming your new startup after your career trajectory (looking at you Respawn, Phoenix Labs, Daybreak, Moonshot, Dreamhaven, etc), but the intent behind "big blue sky" was to look optimistically forward instead of back.

The team would have a "blue sky" phase for each new hero, when the whole team could suggest anything under the sun for mechanics, appearance, VO, etc. No guidelines, no limits, just ideas.
