Credits that go through an eye of a needle. Wordplay: need—needle.
And some more.
Selecting a short list of names and sketches for the client. Trying availability of domains in mind.
The bird with the coin is everyone’s favorite. The names didn’t work. The client said that instead of a single domain, domains in .com, .ru, .ua, .pl and .ro zones should be available, or better yet, in all possible zones. To purchase domains in all zones, we need to come up with a new word. 4–6 letters long (yeah, right).
Generating ideas and talking to the client.

During the typesetting the client asks to add a Cyrillic version and a version with a descriptive caption.
