      This is a cool idea. I used Shapeways in the past with good results. If you have access to CAD it is easy to make your own and have them make it. I plan to try one a bit bigger than the bic one, we will see how it turns out!

    Looks great man. Really refined design.I use a branding iron designed to be use on a BIC lighter. They are 3D printed by a company called shapeways. It cost about $25 shipped.took a while to come in but I'm happy with it. Works good but takes some practice. I find picks are a good idea to get the name out there. I get them from a company called In Tune guitar picks. It was $35 for 100 picks.

      I like that name. I don't see the negative in the names, I see the originalty. I think most people would as well.

      Keep the name. The design is excellent!

    W.H could look good, both are kinda symmetrical in a kinda 90° way. :)

      I like it. Use it or lose it. Not to me, but somebody will grab it if you don't. In modern lexicon, it is primarily lost, except as a whimsical term, I think. Not too many folks going to a dictionary to research your brand, I also think. Maybe too much thinking going on over here. I think. %-)

    I love it! The font and style of the logo works well for me, and yes I know the definition of the word. Wouldn't prevent me from buying it.

    Although I will admit when I saw the name, I immediately thought of Wayfinder. (He says with a satisfied smirk)

      Thanks Blues Frog!

      I was thinking of keeping the name the way it is and making the fonts less formal. I'll post another version soon...

      (i think this is called A/B testing in marketing-speak.)

      I appreciate everybody's feedback. Good stuff. Keep it comin! Ya'll are awesome

        Here's the second version. Font style is more casual, rounder, friendlier. I gave the W in this logo grooves like you'd find in a CBG nut or bridge.... and I changed the spelling to the more common spelling...  Whaddya think, Sirs?

          This is a great font but I also vote for the first one. This one feels more like Art Deco meets pop art to me. The first one seems to fit with cbgs better.
