Completely agree with you. And that's what we have been doing. But got a little worried that people coming on website should not leave just because of that. Once they are in, I know it won't matter.

Originally this started as a platform for business apps. You can create custom apps with just drag and drop. Hence we chose the name CompanyHub (center of business) and the logo as Genie - to represent the magic it does.

Though this functionality is still there, we are marketing it as a CRM as I was adviced that people buy solutions, not platforms. In terms of vision, its still the same - you will be able to run your entire business on it.

Knowing this, do you still think they don't match and logo should change?

An abstract logo is usually less memorable (unless you become well known). Genie was used as it resembles human and also signifies the app can do lot of magic for you.

As you mentioned, due to size we can't show entire genie there. So might have to either just keep the name and show genie separately in full or think of some separate image in logo

Our mascot is a genie. To make it look different, we added an arabic turban to it. Because of space limitations, when we show it in logo, or many other places, we just show the face.Many of them suggested me against this logo. But we didn't pay attention. Recently when were on ProductHunt, we got this comment: "My 5 cents, the logo is a no go." This got me thinking whether I should drop the use...
