Not sure which country you're in, but in the UK, if you want to find out
whether a name exists, Companies house (http://www.companies-house.gov.uk)
allow you to do a search (don't know the US equivalent). In order to protect
the name of your label, you'll probably have to Trade mark it and ensure it
complies with the Business Names Act. No other record label will be able to
either legally use your name or have a similar name. It is possible of
course to set up a limited company and leave it dormant until you start
releasing stuff (all you'll have to do is do your annual returns etc.) again
protecting your name.
Same applies with your logo.
Obviously, you'll probably want to make sure that the domain name for your
company hasn't already been taken, although this isn't so much of a problem.
I've just remember this off the top of my head and I could be talking
bollocks.
The internet has loads of resources for this kind of stuff. Do a search in
google.com for "trade marking company names" "forming companies" etc.
Hope this helps.
