As a result of the company they were working at going bankrupt, Peter Kestenholz, Bo præst Nielsen, Michael Speiser, and Carsten Nilsson decided to start on their own. One day, they sat in Carsten Nilsson’s apartment until three in the morning, brainstorming names and coming up with a logo. The name was Projectum, and it still is to this day. The logo was inspired by a milestone, pierced by speed lines to show the movement and ambition of the young company.
