This is just a thought for those who are saying the word Fresco is the same as using any other word...
Firstly, Job isn't "brandable". Fresco is. Fresco is the adjective. I'll give anyone here a dollar if they can truthfully tell me they were going to use Fresco with out ever hearing of the SoFresco network before hand. I'll give you another dollar if you even heard of the word fresco in your life (unless you are spanish or italian), and wanted to apply it to the internet. Fresco was unique. There wasn't anything else using it like I was.
It's different if you use the word "job" because the root word used to make the site isn't brandable. The word fresco is what gives the root word meaning. It is the adjective, the descriptive nature that makes it even remotely brandable.
Inspiration, and over-inspiration, is unfortunately apart of this industry. I've accepted that. But come on - you can't hide the fact where you got the name Fresco from.
So my arguement here is - you can use whatever word, but it's the description that makes it important, and the word Fresco is what everyone is getting mad about. Heck, I have 8 different Fresco domains - and the only brandable thing about them is Fresco (blogfresco - the word blog isn't the brandable part). Fresco is what grants my network any sort of originality and creativity.
Everyone here is completely missing the point. It isn't about whether or not he can use the word Fresco - because, coming from me, I don't really care if he uses it or not. Especially since everyone knows where the original idea came from.
The point that everyone is trying to make here is that in this industry, any ounce of creativity and uniqueness will set you apart from your competitor. It isn't fair that someone comes along and takes what you've made to set yourself apart, only to use it for themselves.
But hey - that's a part of life, and I guess we all have to live with it.

I'm very familiar with the word fresco and actually almost regged a domain with fresco in it after going past an icecream shop called fresco.

i heard of the word before, and i'm not italian of spanish, it's a painting technique. so i don't see why anybody who is related to design couldn't use the word in their domain name or brand name.
but i get what you mean.

Guys, remember what this thread is all about. All Sebastin wanted was some constructive criticism on his website Design, and maybe the idea.
I'm sure he certainly didn't want people arguing over if he is "aloud" or "supposed" to use the domain name or not.
Brian maybe the first person you heard of using the word Frisco in a domain name, or in website terms, but i'm sure someone somewhere probably thought of using it.
Lets forget it and get back to Sebastian's actual desig.
Sebastian, i think it looks good. I think you need to change the colour of text in the logo though, it doesn't fit in very well - try changing the blue to green.
The little 'globes' could be better quality, they are choppy arround the edjes. Appart form that it looks great.

I actually saw it on my tray about a month ago at Taco Bell, apparently it is part of their new marketing scheme.
http://www.tacobell.com/ Click on "Our Food" > "Fresco Style"
I wonder if they got the idea from Bryan.
