Sure. publicise them both. Many that have two have an image, and some form of their initials as well. I've also seen positive and negative forms of the same image.

Sure, there's no regulating body in this country as far as I know unless you register it as a trademark. have as many as you like.

Hofi uses his two, one is HOFI the other by my understanding is his Hebrew name.

I'm not sure I know any blacksmiths that use that word in conjunction with their blacksmith activities.

I have two, both are versions of the same emblem, but one is a solid R with arrowtail and the other an outline of same. The outline is my registered trademark for jewerly etc, and the solid for blacksmithing. The outline is easier to stamp into delicate jewelery with out distorting that a solid would be. The solid stands up to hot punching better.
