Branding Bryon Howard … (say it like Brian – damn it!)
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Recently , I’ve been considering the spelling of my name. Way to many people think my name is pronounced Byron … but it is pronounced Brian. It’s really screwed up … because it’s spelled Bryon.
I’m not sure why my parents did this to me. I still love ’em … even though since grade 1 … on the 1st day of school the teacher called me Byron … and all the kids laughed … and called me this until about November. This happens less frequently since high school … but still happens at least every three or four years. (I’m really glad I’m not still in school. That sucked.)
I like my last name … and will work on branding it. Howard is cool. Bryon is alright. I hate Byron. I’m not fancy about Brian.
I love selling Calgary real estate … and want it to be easy for people to recognize me … and find me. I work with ReMax … which is a powerful brand and has 37% of the market share in Calgary. I want my personal brand to match ReMax … and will ALWAYS use the ReMax logo along with this brand concept.
Below are some concepts that my good friend Greg Kolodziejzyk came up with.
I told Greg that I wanted to copy Greg Hamre’s logo. (See below the header from The Hamre Team’s website.) I met Greg Hamre and his bro at a ReMax conference in Banff in November. He’s a super cool guy. He and his family sell Real Estate in Ottawa. http://www.weknowottawa.com (I hope he doesn’t mind. I’ll have to remember to ask him.)
I’m leaning towards the logo on the top right corner. If you have any thoughts on this … you could post below – or send me an email.
