In this case I would probably do "RowanMedia.com" Or change the name of the company to "RedWall". > How accepted is .ws in the mainstream? Not very... People are still very used to ".com". Using your example: 1) They would have to remember the name of the company (obviously). 2) They would have to remember that the red wall in the logo translates to the domain. 3) They would have to rememeber the domain extension (not a common one). There's a lot of translating and remembering there. Even if "Rowan.com" was available I'd advise getting "RowanMedia.com" as well - if thecard says Rowan Media then that should be what the domain name is.
