Reflections don't work for letter g.

When brainstorming for do main names, one of the considerations was the ability to translate it to good visual image or provide good letters for customizing fonts for designing text logo. Unlike my first choices pinkturtle & 153fish, designables just didn't inspire any visual imagery. It didn't provide any great letters, like A ,G, M, Q, W, X or Z, to play with. My first thought was do a perspective and reflection. Not gonna work with that tail hanging from the "g" . Reflections work best with type lacking a descender so the baseline of the flipped text lines up directly with the baseline of the original. Text made up of letters with tails like 'g', 'p', 'q', or 'y' don't make good reflections. My first choice "153fish" would have reflected well, Look it makes a nice block of type with no descenders Oh well maybe just a perspective.
