Need Some Marketing/Imaging Help!
Alright, for the past month or so, I've taken up the **AWESOME** hobby of home-coffee roasting. It's been a great learning experience, and being able to have fresh roasted coffee any day of the week, is just amazing!
Now if there's one thing lacking, it's a name. And a logo. You see, I roast and package the coffee into 1/2lb and 1lb paper bags that look like this:

It looks plain! So, I was hoping you guys could help me come up with a name and logo I could use for stickers on the front of the bag. Sticker's should be 1" wide and like, 2" long. (or something along the lines) But I can change the image later...
Thoughts:
Alton Roasting Company (Alton = last name, fyi)
Nor-Cal Coffee Roasters (not sure if I want to fall under the whole Nor-Cal schtick...)
Roast This! Coffee Company
So, post any other ideas for the name, thoughts on the names listed, and any images! Or send PM...
Thanks in advance for any help! :RockOn - not mine:

At the moment, no. It's still a learning process for me and right now I'm just giving the coffee away to friends/family and the like. And giving a simple brown-paper bag is a bit tacky.
Plus, I only have the capacity to roast a half pound at a time, so things would get tough when doing large, commerical patches.
But I definetly will in the future!

do what amazon did...
they named the company without having what they do in the name.
amazon sold books. but they never called themselves amazon books.
there's an online gun store i visit called "cdnn investments"...
just a thought...

As someone who at one time worked for Starbucks for 2 years, I can appreciate some good coffee.
Why don't you jsut call it the "the little brown bag of coffee" I think that would be catchy

little brown bag is taken by a lot of different companies. what you'd need to do is see if another COFFEE company is using it.
But since you're not selling it you can do whatever you want.
I just did a package for a coffee company in PA.
