I need help with naming my new graphic design business?

Design or graphics do not need to be in the name, it can be in the tagline.\nHow about a color name and then Rhino, like blue rhino, or red rhino?\nThen simply say "design and graphic studio" below it as a tagline.\n\nRed Rhino\nDesign and Graphic Studio\n\nTry replacing studio with other words like services, artists, production, etc.\n\nGood Luck!

First, be sure of what it is you'll be doing. Do you have experience in it? Is there a success rate for that type of business operating from the home? What kinds of costs are associated with that type of business? What kinds of overhead (i.e. computer, telephone, desk, etc.) is needed? So on & so forth.\n\nTry reading up on the subject -- check out Amazon, your local bookstore or library. Some keywords to keep in mind: small business, home business, start-ups, etc.\n\nAlso, check out the sources box -- I put some links in there that could help you start on your way.\n\nDo you have a name in mind for your B2B business? Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

Since any slogans that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...\n\nI suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. \n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

You should consider familiarizing yourself with an advertising or marketing agency. They can help point you to someone that will design not only a logo but a few ads based on your needs. If you are serious about doing it right then you should hire a pro to do the things you don't understand and stick to the stuff you do.

Name your business something that starts with an "A" you'll be the first listed everywhere in the phone books.. \n\nWhich is where I search for my local items, since many businesses still aren't on-line, except for a chamber of commerce listing... \n\nbut then thats another good idea..join the chamber in your area.. they refer only to chamber members for business.. and it's a great way to get your name circulated especcially if you're a new business.\n\nThen join/attend meeting to do with your trade to keep up with whats selling the best on the market...market research is PRICELESS! Know what your customer wants then supply it.

When I released an album with my band a few years back, we got a fantastic looking cover for an inexpensive price. My advice would be to search out a graphic designer in your city and sit down with them and discuss the details on how you want your cover to look, what kind of fonts you want to use / or even your own logo. If you just want a one page slip, or a booklet with multiple pages.\n\nJust remember, the more pages you have on your cover booklet, the higher the cost to you is to both get it designer and have it printed.\n\nAnd, if you use a graphic designer that is involved within the music community in your city, it'll be a lot cheaper than going online or to an office that specializes in designing stuff like that. I had a t-shirt designed for me for $50 bucks, super cheap.

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance. \n\nThe name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future. \n\nSince any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...\n\nI suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. \n\nThere are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
