It's our studio name (at least for now)!

I like the new look. It's more pleasing on the eyes. The name's pretty awesome too, how did you come up with it?

My guess: Insomnia -> Somnia -> Som.
Nova -> Well, either you mean "A star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly returning to its original state over a few months" (which is what I hope the team won't metaphorically do :P), or some sort of word for 'new' or 'original'?

When I read the name, the first thing that pops to mind is the phrase 'New Dreams'. Don't know if that's what you intended or not, but...

In Portuguese it means: New Sound. Which is interesting.

Actually, Latin for "sleep" would be "Somnus". "Som" means sound, as in Portuguese (apparently, I don't speak Portuguese).

And "Nova" is Latin for "New" in the feminine form - "Novus" is the male form (in Latin, as in Hebrew, the vast majority of words has a gender attached to them. Actually, I think it's like this in most languages. It's just English that's weird).
