thank you for the tips, this will help me, I also have an online shop, and I can say that the name of my shop is not that good. But hearing your tips would make me choose the best name next time.

Hi Jacque,

I wouldn’t worry too much if the actual task is included in the company name as long as the name has the right “feeling,” though I really like your Up Holstery idea — the separated “up” helps emphasize that your work is up-and-coming, forward-thinking. But as you noted, it would be harder to find in a Google search.

Regarding searches, it depends on how you think most people will want to find you. If your business is local and people will find you by phone or word-of-mouth, Google searches become less important.

I think the I.D.RECOVERY name could be a little confusing (it makes me think of a company that will help with identity theft problems). Perhaps consider some words that relate to the style of your work, even use a thesaurus to come up with lots of words and ideas before considering the actual logo design.

Best of luck with your project!
Tara

HI, I have been trying to think of a Logo for my Upholstery advertising.
What do you think of I.D.RECOVERY, or should I use Up Holstery and personalise the “U” with the right line of the U EXTENDED WITH AN ARROW POINTING UP, so if I was to be Google d or may be have an add on my vanit will be short and quick to find and read. If I keep I.D.RECOVERY, I am concerned that it may be too long winded and the actual task that I do may be lost. I was thinking if I had for exmple Fab-upholstery it will also not take too much room on the van thus enabeling me to write in a larger font and Google could fine me more easily. What do you thin? Could you please advise me on a Logo or symble to use that is snappy and simple.
Regards . thank You Jacque

[...] Liked this post doling out tips on naming a design business. Particularly relevant when it comes to marketing any design services on the toobz and I had to pop a smile about tip #2 – Make sure the name is easy to spell. If your given name is unique, but hard to spell, ditch it (or be prepared to buy lots of domain names so clients can find you online). [...]
