write down a list of names. Here are some factors to take into consideration: Uniqueness: A person will draw more interest into your business by the name and logo. For example, I used my past nicknames to try to name my company that I plan to do in the future. People used to call me Flash so I was thinking about Flash Productions or Flash Graphics. Do your Research!-You have to do your research very carefully to make sure no one else has your name or you can be sued. You can check Trademark or copyright websites to see a list of names that have already been taken. For example World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was sued by World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) because they had the naming rights first so WWF wrestling had to change their name to World Wrestling Entertainment. They lost millions of dollars too. Remember that your name should reflect who you are as a company and what you do. An example of a bad company name is Tiger foods. It is intended to be a company name for shipping world wide produce. Many people will not find the relevance in tiger with the company or others may think that they slay tigers to eat. P.S.- If you need a logo, let me know. Ill do some free logos or for money because I need to add stuff to my portfolio.
