Re: Protecting your Name

[beenyweenies] "Personally, if I had never read this thread and randomly came across the name "Blue Cow Creative" I would never in a million years have made the connection to Creative Cow."

I would have never made the connection either. It's pretty innocuous and they are pretty common words.

Duplication of words and terms in the English language is something that happens pretty frequently, there's not much that can be done about it. My personal example, my name is Todd Terry, and there is also a well-known music producer named Todd Terry. To take one step further, my company is Fantastic Plastic Entertainment, Inc., and one of the music groups that the other Todd has produced in the past happens to be called The Fantastic Plastic Machine. Pure eerie coincidence, but it makes for some interesting Googling and mixed-up emailing.

There's also a British record label called Fantastic Plastic (we get each other's email), and there used to be a vintage record store in Seattle called Fantastic Plastic (they actually had the domain www.fantasticplastic.com before we bought it off of them about 8 years ago). Through the last few years I've also seen a couple of banks and one department store run credit card promotions that they called "Fantastic Plastic."

I wouldn't sweat it. On the upside, Blue Cow Creative does have a very beautiful website, and looks like they do good work. If any confusion does happen, I always prefer to be confused with someone good than with some hack. :)
