As everyone has already stated, this site is quite popular and a lot of people associate it with all your other endeavors and vice versa, so the change should go quickly enough. I am really looking forward to what you all come up with as far as the logo and rebranding. Can't wait! I think the transition should go smoothly enough.

So the corporate name makes little difference. Carsonified makes sense too, as its probably got a lot of link love already, and is fun, a key thing you're trying to promote.

Rebranding is not to be entered into lightly because sometimes *you* might be fed up of your name, but your customers aren't that bothered - and it could just end up confusing more people than solving any problems with the current brand. But you wouldn't believe the number of people we meet who don't know we do Vitamin, or that the folks behind DropSend have anything to do with FOWA - we need a visible brand to unite the products, and that's not just the name, but the design and the copy too. I like the fact that Carsonified is a verb (ok a made-up one!) that will bind things together, and doesn't imply that we're all sitting in a lab building systems! Because the company has grown organically, the original 'brand' has been stretched - now we're going to try and build something that properly represents what we do, and that's futureproof.

I have to admit I have wondered why you had the name Carson Systems when you did a lot more stuff than building apps. goodluck with it and I am sure people will adjust to it fairly quickly. Oh and I look forward to the new look and feel, great sketch book shot :) Cheers I think its a lot more snappier than Carson Sytems.

Since the name is better and is still not that different than the original, I personally think you can rebrand quite nicely.
