Why is your company called Peghole?Originally I am an animator and I have adopted my logo from something you use in this noble art. My logo is not printed: it consists of a series of three holes punched in the paper of my business cards, stationery and even in the envelopes. These holes, two rectangular ones and a round one in the middle, are originally used to register the drawings of an animated cartoon. They fit precisely on a metal bar with similarly shaped pegs (right: a pegbar!) so every drawing in an animated sequence is exactly at the same place. Unfortunately I can't punch holes in your computerscreen (if interactive technology has developed a little further I will consider adding it as a new feature...) so I use a graphic representation of my logo on the WorldWideWeb.If you want to see my real logo you can commission me to make a cool Shockwave or something else and I'll sent you a bill with these holes in it! So that's why Peghole is called Peghole. (And for those of you who have other thoughts when they hear that name, the answers are: yes, no, no, yes and no.)
