I agree with what Duncan wrote in terms of making sure a logo, name or
design is not dated - like companies called 'Wicked!' or 'Styleeee' or
something.
But remember the companies like APPLE with interesting, catchy names, yet
nothing to do with their range.
Sometimes a logo depicting an ethos or 'way of seeing' or 'doing', can make
your co. stand out from the rest.

If nothing else, your gonna get interest from star sign followers and that's
1/12 of the population!
(Libra or Scorpio? - I reckon yr Libra!!).

We Develop stuff and we were both born in October, thought that was quite
good. We are looking at not just web development, looking at comercial
property development and also posibly a recruitment agency (not an I.T. one)
so that would be employment development? ;-) Took us weeks of carp names to
come up with that.

Thanks for the input though its very welcome. I actually quite like the C in
that font, its quite unusall. No idea where I got it from though....

Cheers
John
