Along with his colleague Xaver Küng, the two men combined their love of metal and the strong belief that "aluminum is the material of the future". Their product line, which was called SIGG AG Aluminiumwarenfabrik, was initially comprised of saucepans, frying pans and bottles, all of which sold rapidly and were immensely popular. By 1958, SIGG had thousands of products that were all manufactured in the company's own rolling mill and drawing shop.<br /><br />It was in 1990 that the course for the future of the SIGG bottle was determined: a new shape, still typical of today's bottles, was developed and the quality achieved was superior. The beautiful shapes and design of the bottle is one of the reasons that in 1993 SIGG was incorporated into the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. In 1997, the company was bought by an investor group and changed direction to focus on its #1 "star" product... the SIGG bottle.<br /><br />Approaching its 100 year anniversary, SIGG has its sights set on growing the brand outside of Europe. In 2005, SIGG launched a USA subsidiary based in Stamford, CT. "This brand has tremendous history and for generations has been the must-have water bottle for Europeans," stated Steve Wasik, SIGG USA President. "Americans are now discovering that using a high quality, reusable bottle like SIGG makes great sense – both financially and environmentally."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwnFS8pF88W0dtnVH-o-hNa-7b9annwiiWV_FX0KRwoZVRFEIFrdbwfZS7xv8qn3voPwRotN_X90qlphRvLyxco7g2yX0iBM4LnqLgxNEBfJKVQfqCmvCedn6GcMgaXJc4AHPO5smnsAmQ/s1600-h/Picture+9.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050428107347627074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwnFS8pF88W0dtnVH-o-hNa-7b9annwiiWV_FX0KRwoZVRFEIFrdbwfZS7xv8qn3voPwRotN_X90qlphRvLyxco7g2yX0iBM4LnqLgxNEBfJKVQfqCmvCedn6GcMgaXJc4AHPO5smnsAmQ/s400/Picture+9.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 279px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTGlRohdbGidgW1bYqF23AF-rUJ7SreysbO2qgwZx1fSgjuNE_n-hhLf3xX-fxtrdQrubwUGfddmoybBmzFOXWdYivylgABowmTveT7dtafZWftuv0A96iUw9oOq5SuJKQKsCl_ob49VT6/s1600-h/Picture+7.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050427939843902498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTGlRohdbGidgW1bYqF23AF-rUJ7SreysbO2qgwZx1fSgjuNE_n-hhLf3xX-fxtrdQrubwUGfddmoybBmzFOXWdYivylgABowmTveT7dtafZWftuv0A96iUw9oOq5SuJKQKsCl_ob49VT6/s400/Picture+7.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 279px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4qGIIcc3Ohfd5klsC71efjHHhKJK7iOUHgEdj5iwahraKv1XWz3VoirSPG93o_MXREnHlPf4FpNbEfKfd64jnWu52apSlst5E34S-uJwvwTv1s8RAGirom1VF165vWuOYxaUGmigV_b74/s1600-h/Picture+20.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050750259959598210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4qGIIcc3Ohfd5klsC71efjHHhKJK7iOUHgEdj5iwahraKv1XWz3VoirSPG93o_MXREnHlPf4FpNbEfKfd64jnWu52apSlst5E34S-uJwvwTv1s8RAGirom1VF165vWuOYxaUGmigV_b74/s400/Picture+20.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 279px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5dD0tRXjV9G-9vk_lKC9u_Ya5ZW8-jbp-EIZgHZIxkhcyYB24NIhJ527bkNpeVOJpjE-oth8cq-o3_U9-ttcOXMT6rlrRaloCDhJspHpEhgjXDdOZfvnmaZsQCrlOYIqRYoUI7HhiKgfF/s1600-h/Picture+8.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050428025743248434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5dD0tRXjV9G-9vk_lKC9u_Ya5ZW8-jbp-EIZgHZIxkhcyYB24NIhJ527bkNpeVOJpjE-oth8cq-o3_U9-ttcOXMT6rlrRaloCDhJspHpEhgjXDdOZfvnmaZsQCrlOYIqRYoUI7HhiKgfF/s400/Picture+8.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 279px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNHwJL42HI5rLOs5HyR72hgSeiyv91NJO6qYSAewlMY0RkOFxMz12x7x0v4Xtkr3O_7uqAIt9CWIfyj_TF2qWzOUcp8nA_vMZZjDoS7KXNGlpA3mR1T54z_OY-47gTuHN4QNFQIM6eAjRm/s1600-h/Picture+19.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050750096750840930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNHwJL42HI5rLOs5HyR72hgSeiyv91NJO6qYSAewlMY0RkOFxMz12x7x0v4Xtkr3O_7uqAIt9CWIfyj_TF2qWzOUcp8nA_vMZZjDoS7KXNGlpA3mR1T54z_OY-47gTuHN4QNFQIM6eAjRm/s400/Picture+19.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 279px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQvIDTwsHkngePVD6xFmtmDjUAUxNd7Wxd5iIAWhx3TWtAeLlJ5Qv2wbtfvFyrJ1qs6iEOZ2kc4RFTsO60ZNM8nCgrwH_hH1aGDD11sJn0OGF5bnqah2uxrJZRrkpafH42otL445JZrQYr/s1600-h/Picture+21.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050750174060252274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQvIDTwsHkngePVD6xFmtmDjUAUxNd7Wxd5iIAWhx3TWtAeLlJ5Qv2wbtfvFyrJ1qs6iEOZ2kc4RFTsO60ZNM8nCgrwH_hH1aGDD11sJn0OGF5bnqah2uxrJZRrkpafH42otL445JZrQYr/s400/Picture+21.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 279px;" /></a><i><br />Above: Just six of their many fun designs</i>

Doublecheck that URL before you buy it! Or Speed Of Art will be Speedo Fart!

Sometimes, some of us get 'too close' to our work and we are unable to view it with fresh eyes. So before you go buying that url, I suggest you type it out and have someone else read it. Why? Read on...<br /><br />I've been helping a client of mine name his company as well as find an available url for him. One of his suggestions was to name his company O Incorporated. Never mind the multitude of reasons why that name is both wrong, inappropriate and 'taken' by Oprah, Overstock, Cirque Du Soleil, etc.. but the fact that his url would have read as www.oinc.com (oink!) was something I had to bring to his attention as well.<br /><br />Which brings me to the hilarious and real URLs below brought to my attention by Sean Alvarez of <a href="http://www.watchmylistings.com">www.watchmylistings.com</a><br /><br />Read on...<br /><br />ACTUAL "ONLINE" NAMES:<br />All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough<br />time considering how their online names might appear .... and be misread.<br /><br />These are not made up. Check them out yourself!<br /><br />1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that<br />represents any celebrity. Their Web site is http://www.whorepresents.com/<br /><br /> 2 . Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange<br />advice and views at http://www.expertsexchange.com/<br /><br /> 3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at http://www.penisland.net/ <br /> <br />4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at http://www.therapistfinder.com/<br /><br />5. There's the Italian Power Generator company, http://www.powergenitalia.com/<br /><br />6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales,<br />www .molestationnursery.Com<br /> <br />7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always www .ipanywhere.Com <br /> <br />8. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is http://www.cummingfirst.com/<br /><br />9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site,<br />http://www.speedofart.com/<br /><br />And I'm still chuckling over Powergenitalia! Speedo Fart sends me into giggles as well.
