A company is changing it's name, are the costs associated with the name change capitalized? If so, what kind of costs are capitalized and what kind are expensed?

Please advise.

Thanks

It would be appropriate to write them off in the period as an extraordinary expense

Costs than might be incurred;
Advertising
Design of corporate logo
Signage and changing the livery on corporate buildings, vehicles, assets
Corporate uniforms
Shareholder notifications, meetings
Reprinting of corporate stationery
Notification of customers, suppliers, affiliates, staff, stock exchange
