It's hard to pick your exact question out of that long paragraph. I would imagine that's why you haven't gotten any replies.

Could you briefly summarize in one or two sentences what your question is?

Please let me know if you need anymore information primarily we are changing company brands names everything and websites so it's all for the better but any tips would be outstanding

Have you already picked out a new name? If you have picked a new name and solidified your branding, then the main concern is keeping the value of your old domain. There are two steps you can take:

1. 301 redirect your old domain to your new one. During this process try to ensure all redirects happen in 1 hop. Each redirect leads to a loss of link value.

2. Contact the source of any external links and request they update the URL to your new domain so a redirect will not be necessary.

Hello,
Yes I have picked out a name registered it with the state and federal trademark (I used LegalZoom I have used others and LegalZoom might be slightly more but I like it they give you a lot for your money.) Blueprint Marketing LLC
The company name is now changed from QuiZick Internet Marketing to Blueprint Marketing LLC
I want to thank you much for your words of wisdom. I also would really like to know more about how it applies within SEOmoz things such my MOZ URL. And e-mail address profile and whatnot. Should I change those out I guess without worrying about any problems?
Thank you kindly for the wise words. I did get the old site to rank for local keywords but as the domain was less than 90 days of age. Many of them penalized by Google sandbox pretty badly as it had no Moz rank whatsoever. This domain is 10 years of age I will move/migrate it to Dyn DNS for a 10 year term to get in Google's good graces as when I purchased the domain it gave me a single year or registration even though it is old I would rather not lose this one as the contest for the logo will be finished by the end of the day tomorrow (I used 99 designs) some pretty amazing results we got over 200 submissions then switch my host from Media Temple to Single Hop so when my site is finished by the end of the month I will be extremely happy. Right now we have the site being built by somebody recommended by SEOmoz I am unfortunately not a designer. I think after reading so much on video lately I am going to sit this one out with the same player on SEOmoz & HubSpot I'm using limelight right now and honestly I got to looking at prices and they want way too much in comparison to what you get from these other video companies. Please let me know what you think of my name change as well.
