About my company name

I always wondered if electric threads corp. was ok
or if i should of maybe gone with electric threads
that always comes to minds and i wanted to solidify that issue so i could stop thinking about that
because iv established myself well in my school like everyone knows me but i have not yet even got my name out in the public really

so i was wondering if i should keep or drop that one extra word "corp."

   ok just cause electricthreads.com is taken maybe i can do electricthreadsapparel.com or something like that
   do you think that change will be fine because im pretty well established in my school
   but outside of school nobody knows me so you think it won’t really effect anything?

   Why would you want to name your company after someone else’s company?

   electricthreads said about 1 month ago

   hahahaha nooo i mean the website is taken but its not trademarked and when you go to the website it just shows as some weird thing that has nothing to do with a company it looks like someone bought it a long time ago and is still holding it or something the company name isn’t taken though

   im not that low to take other peoples ideas haha

    yea i know electric is taken cause i see their glasses in zumiez thats why i did electric threads corp. so i wouldn’t have any problems and i was worried about the issues i would have maybe with electric threads.

    why would you want a brand name with so much confusion is what i am getting at. With so many similar brand names and what not. All you did was ask what everyone thought of your name and already like 3 or 4 different brand immediately came to mind. That is going to make hard to establish your brand as unique.

    a pretty big company - sunglasses and snowboard goggles - who also do tees with 'electric' all over them

    don’t you lot check on google? i have to point out to '32' that there was already a company called this and he had to change his name

    electric threads is nice but i would change it if there was even a sniff that another more successful company already was trading with it. they can afford better lawyers than you.

    i know it’s a pain but i think you should change it

    hmm yea thats true do you think there won’t be that much confusion with electric threads corp.
    because for example when i think of dropdead at first i thought it was drop dead gorgeous the band

    because yea your right electric threads actually might have some confusion but do you think electric threads corp will be ok

    I don’t see anything wrong with the name as it is. Lots of "non corporate" companies use things like factory or co. in their name. So, I think corp. is fine.

    Also, I wouldn’t be confused by other similar names. Once you start using multiple words as a part of your companies name you are almost definitely going to overlap a little bit with someone elses name.

    yea thats what i assumed because electric zombie and other companies like that never popped up when i though of my name
    only electric the sunglass company thats why i chose electric threads corp. i just wanna know if ill be fine with that because the only similarity is "electric"

    i don’t know i just wanna strive to be big and i don’t wanna have huge issues along that way :P

    dude, i would change the name, people are mentoning other laready well established "electric whatever" companies, and putting corp on the end just doesnt doesnt sound right, and its very unnecisary.
    if i were you i would just change the whole thing.

    you wont loose anything dude, the people who really want to buy from your line, and wear your product will stick by you because of quality good, and great art, not your name. not that your company name has nothing to do with being succesful, because a good name is necissary, im just saying, theres a lot of electric out there, and if i were you i wouldnt want a name with such close similarities.

    yea for sure i totally get what your saying i think im gonna research some more look for anything that might look to close to what im going for. Cause electricvisual is not really anything close to what im doing and electric zombie is horror while im not really gonna do that stuff except holloween. Also im gonna get a trademark search and see if ill have any issues but yea thanks for all the insight and information :D

    i do a lot of snowboarding and used to have some Electric goggles. One does end up saying 'Electric' not 'Electric Visual' i.e " that guy is wearing an 'Electric' tee shirt/goggles/sunglasses"

    this is wear the confusion comes in because if someone was wearing one of your tees I’d say "that guy is wearing an 'Electric' tee shirt"

    i feel your pain though man, you’ve got a great logo.

    You might be ok, but there might be problems ahead

    This does and doesn’t make sense...a lot of the branding on Electic (Visual)'s products just say Electric on it, no visual. The google bands, some of the shirts and even on the sunglasses it just says Electric so that’s why one would call Electric Visual "Electric"

    If you always keep "Electric Threads" together at all times I think it’s fine

    chalk said about 1 month ago

    because you say 'apple' not 'apple computer company'

    it always gets abbreviated

    robolove said about 1 month ago

    You could always change the "c" to a "k" so it becomes "Electrik" then it becomes a different word but still sounds the same. I think corp is tacky I would get rid of it.
