[IxDA Discuss] Branding - including .com in logo/name?

[Chad Mortensen]

There are a couple reason's why you may want to keep the .com, maybe not for
the established event management company but for general discussion.
1. If this is solely an online business.
2. If you are going to be doing any offline marketing for this business.

By using the .com in the name it is automatically recognized as being a
website and somebody could find the business from knowing the name alone. If
the company was solely called Funky Chicken I wouldn't know whether to look
them up in the phone book or google.
