    Not just because, melq. I'm planning for expansion in the next year or so, with the possibility of renting office space (I currently work from home). So I was considering the possibility of rebranding my studio and moving around the same time.

    My problem is that I over-analyze things, and I'm restless by nature. So these sorts of questions are constantly running through my brain.

    That said, I've decided to stick with Metagramme after considering all the pros and cons. A few people here offered sound advice that makes good sense to me. What Douglas said, in particular. Plus, besides having to usually spell it for people, I do get regular compliments on the way my current name sounds, and what it means when I explain it to people.

    • Legit office/studio space = more of a public presence, a location that clients can visit w/o tripping over my son's toys.gramme
    • My point is that getting traction as a small business is hard. Starting the process over every 1-1/2 years isn't a good idea.melq
    • I never said I'd make it a regular practice to change things up. I'm just thinking critically about how I position and brand myself.gramme

    • Okay, not 'just because'. Instead, as of yesterday, your critical thinking led you to believe the "Studio Steele" could likely position you better with your clients, as compared to a brand you established five years ago and have been actively promoting for a year and a half.melq

    • What the hell is wrong with thinking out loud? Sheesh.gramme
    • If I was convinced that Studio Steel was the way to go, I would've have asked for input.gramme
