I have been trying to come up with a mark and wanted it be a little unique. I have Googled and found some that are interesting, but I can't really think of much for me. The only thing I could really think of was my first two initials and last name. Attached is a pic of what I have come with with so far. Please let me know what you think.

Definitely the block letter JAJ. Also try making the A smaller than the J's, as your first and last name presumably are more important than the middle.

I think you are confusing a makers mark with a cattle brand.

What is the function of a makers mark??!! IMHO the mark in markers mark is marketing. I never know where our products will end up and who may see them. So my criterion for a mark is first the company name, then I include made in Arizona, USA because that adds cachet when selling overseas. Then I include my web site so the future looyloos or retail customers will be able to find our website and hopefully, order more product.

May not be cute but why else have a makers mark if no one can find you unless it's an ego thing????

Cya!

I am afraid I have to agree with BDAZ. If I were to look at that mark on an item it would tell me nothing. You would know who made it but know one else would. THe makers mark shouldbe just that who made it. Initials are not going to tell anyone that. If the name of the business is JAJ custom leather then your makers mark should say that if it is J.A. Johnson Leahter then that is what your makers mark should say. When you read the makers mark there should be know question as to who made it.

So would you suggest I change my last mark to have an arced "J.A.Johnson" at the top and "Leathers" or "Leathers, Tulsa, OK" at the bottom, still having the logo in the middle?
