Complaints about your logo?

Hey, I went to school in VT for 5 years (Norwich)!
For your logo, I would animate that. Just keep the logo, but animate it.
My production name is Orange Video Production, and my wife designed the logo, but I animated it and it looked cool (IMO). Maybe animating it will take away that sexual attention which people are annoyed. Honestly, I didn't notice anything like that at first, but after I read others talking about it, I could understand where they are saying from, but as you said, it's only 6 sec.
I don't put logo on my wedding videos. for one, I animate the menu and I want that to come first AND I use animation during transition as well, so it goes smoothly to the video instead of 'unexpected' animation of my logo. There are orange logos on the disc, case, plastic bag, everywhere. I may put logo on my corporate work (at the end), or events, but never in the beginning (unlike films).
Just my personal preference.

I wonder myself about having any name other than your own for a company identity, particularly in the wedding business.
At the end of the job I'd prefer for people to see and remember my name instead of some other name I thought up one time ago.
Not to mention the extra hassle of having to register this name with The CRO (company registration office) because it's not your name.

Adam, if you were at a wedding and someone asked you who you were, would you prefer to say 'Adam Barker Productions' or 'playsock productions' ?
Just something to think about.
