The name fogodo, like Google, is a play on words. FOGODO-- the Flag Officer/General Officer/Duty Officer---In the military vernacular, they're on the job 24/7, just like your flagship website/company.Also, tongue in cheek, the Fogodo is a good place to stay if you are birding for Bustards in Hortobagy, Hungary.There is no foreign translation for fogodo. "Fogo do" is translated, word for word, in Portuguese as "Fire do".There is a bit of mystery surrounding fogodo.

This can be the creation of themed logos to represent major holidays, as Google does, or other creative projects within our scope of expertise. The initial 6 logo designs presented took approximately 240 hours to compete. We estimate that 2,000 hours would enable us to create an additional 50 designs.

Currently this is at $43.13 per hour, according to analysis by Brenner Books (http://www.brennerbooks.com/sampleprices.html) Note: If the buyer elects not to receive the 2,000 hours of design work and support, $87,000 will be taken off the sale price.Alternately, a Servicemark, Trademark and Domain Name Assignment Agreement will be faxed (or mailed) to the buyer and may be signed and faxed/mailed back.
