Dear all,
Our worker coop start up is on the verge of legally incorporating as a company limited by guarantee, having completed our business plan and decided upon a trading name: ‘Common Ground Therapy’.
We are currently brainstorming branding design in terms of needing a logo, colour scheme, fonts/typography and using all of that to create a website.
If anyone would be willing to share their coop’s experience of branding creation, that would be really useful, particularly if there’s a process for creating branding that you would recommend or warn against.
If you know of anyone or any group within the worker coop, or cooperative world, that specialises in helping create branding, please do refer us or recommend – if they offer ‘solidarity rates’ for a low-income, fellow-coop, start up, even better.
Also if anyone knows about, or knows someone who knows about trademarking and/or using multiple Domain names to protect one’s brand, that would be helpful - I wonder how often or how many worker coops have trademarked their trading names or taken out Domain names additional to their original one? - any advice or signposting greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading,
Nicholas
