Name Change!

[尼古拉前执事]

My apologies. It seems our store has been shut down due to "copyright violations" in using the "Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia" name.

I have written Vladyka Gabriel and am hoping a name change is not required. In case it is, I wanted to put such a name change up to a vote. If you don't like any of the names, please suggest a new one.

Edit: Added Euphrosynos Cafe to list!

LOL, no. 5 votes, each for a different name. Oh well its still early in the game other wil vote too...

...I hope!

Umm, name change is going to have to happen it seems. A friend of mine, Reader Nicholas Trahan of Sarov Press & The Icon Corner suggested using the name of St. Euphrosynos the Cook since it would go with the Cafe theme.

Here are some concept banners. I was really liking the Theotokos Cafe idea until I saw how good the Euphrosynos icon looks in the banner and realized how fitting it would be for a Cafe.

Thoughts?

Nik,

I wonder if they can really shut down your name. You should get a lawyer. Or wait for them to serve you papers and read the complaint. They can't just go around threatening you.

Is ROCOR really trademarked? You can't trademark certain things that are common, such as the word "Catholic" or "Orthodox" so I wonder if you can trademark the word ROCOR. Your forum is a place for discussion of ROCOR topics so I don't see how they can claim it is wrong for you to use ROCOR in your name.

I'm very let down. I don't know what to say. Wait to see what the bishop says, I guess. Lord have mercy on us.

Nicholas, why is part of the banner white at the top. It makes it difficult to see. I hope that the name does not have change, I really like ROCOR cafe.
