The name 'Oz' from "The Wizard of Oz" was arrived at when writer Frank Baum happened to look over at his filing cabinet and saw 'A - N' and 'O - Z,' hence 'Oz.'

"In litigation, where time is of the essence, the responsiveness and quick turn-around provided by ThinkTwice is a great asset. Even when the deadline for the finished product is very short, I am always confident that ThinkTwice will meet it. In addition to being highly professional and skilled in their work, ThinkTwice personnel are congenial to work with, and patient with the myriad of changes inherent in preparing graphics for use in litigation. I am consistently pleased with their work."
