My boss has finally agreed to change our company name from Internet Essentials to Universal Mode (or umode for short.)
The only thing is he's uncertain about the new name. Umode.
He's worried it needs to contain something about what we do (marketing & web design)
Im under the impression that it don't matter but I guess the worry is our clients wont get it.
Here's the proposed business card design too
What do you think?

I'd lose the mark and tighten up the typographic wordmark and details.

The type doesn't work for me. The symbols are good though

loose the caps on your name.

Ilike the mark on the bottom card. The top one looks like a kidney

some variation in weight would be nice. um. if it's going to be umode for short. um. i would make that the logo instead of um.

you can easily add something about the services you provide and i do think that is a necessary element. how else am i to know what universal mode means?

#1logo is very confusing... lips? strawberry? heart? smile face?

while #2 is just an elephant

I like Internet Essentials as well.

i quite like the idea of an elephant. you could further that concept in other ID/branding material.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll take it into account.
That design I included is quite old now and we agreed in the office to scrap design 1.
The real question remains, is Universal Mode a shitty name or not?

i dont like any of it.
sorry... just being honest. It seems like the boss is too afraid of change to make a good one.

Don't make your name caps (or don't make the company name caps). I don't mind the logos, but you need to modify them (make them cleaner and the some of the lines need to be smooth). The new name is a bit better, but still not that great.

anything but Internet Essentials
