I am currently re designing my resume. I go by the design alias Zealograf and all my work is on zealograf.com However is it weird to have My Zealograf logo on my resume? Should I just be going by my real name? I do have my real name and contact info on my resume. I currently send out my resume to possible freelance and full time jobs with my Zealograf logo on it. Any opinions and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Your name.
Zealograf is your business/trading name, so logo use is fine.
Businesses don't have resumes, people do.Sorry, but if I interviewed someone and they asked to be called by their 'design alias' I'd give them the thousand yard stare.

you are applying for job as yourself, correct? or would you prefer everyone refer to you as Mr. Zealograf... ?
list Zealograf in your employment history. no where else. i might even remove the logo from resume if you're looking for fulltime.

Yeah I am applying for possible full time and Freelance work. So I guess I will go with my name. Thanks for the useful advise.

hmm maybe the use of alias was poor choice of words. Zealograf is just my company name I created not my personal alias.

if it's your company name include it.

I vote for using your name.
Zealograf is a company....not a person, unless you're fighting Batman after hours

Use both, especially if you freelance as well.

If you're applying for a full time job, use your name and only state your freelance name (alias) in job history.
If you are bidding on a project or only want contract work, use your logo and alias (and your name of course).
