Here's the latest chapter in my ongoing name/logo conundrum.....
Headlines on today's paper....Caregivers Convicted of Abuse and Theft...
Apparently administrators and caregivers at a local care facility were abusing, mistreating and stealing from patients. The name of this facility...
Phoenix Services Inc. 8-O
Now, am I overreacting? Probably. Considering I live in a very small town in Pennsylvania that has 2 businesses with the name Phoenix, both of whom have very vague functions, I don't know.
Now, I considered PCI Engraving and Awards. Makes use of the Phoenix Custom Images without having to completely re-register and change it totally. And it gets the engraving in the title and clarifies it a little better.
The problem is, we have PCI Insurance. Is that a huge deal? Maybe. Maybe I couldn't use that because of ficititious name registry conflict even though I would still be registered as Phoenix Custom Images.
Maybe I should just scrap the whole Phoenix thing and start all over with a new name?...eww.. >.<
(now I am just thinking out loud of my options)
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
Thanks
Becky

Becky,
People have short memories. Today's headline will disappear from the newspaper and so will thoughts of the caregiver's crimes.
Bad news for those who need caregivers, but good news for the integrity of your business name.

Thanks David,
I appreciate your words of wisdom. I sort of figured that I may have been overacting but my lack of experience in the business world leads me to be overcautious rather than under.
Thank you
Becky

The name is the same does not surprise me one bit. I used to be Accu-Scribe, Inc. In the same town was Accu-Scribe Court Reporting, unknown to us until a bunch of our shipments never arrived. They were delivered there even with our address on the shipment labels. The trucker had to track down the shipments, pick them up, and deliver it to us. They had a half skid of 25 Oz beer mugs sitting there for about a month and never questioned it. Duh.

Becky,
No particular words of wisdom, just 53 yrs. worth of observations on human nature. :-)
Kind of sad, at times, but very predictable.
