It's not uncommon to bump into someone with the same name, but the Ideas Factory Snowflake app ensures that each individual is granted with their own symmetrical ice crystal.
While no two snowflakes are ever the same, some people have run across others in life that have identical names. The Ideas Factory Snowflake app uses a special mathematical formula to generate snowflake patterns that can be identified with the individual. Simply enter one's first and last name -- a middle name would also be beneficial for those with common or short names -- and the website will design a signature snowflake immediately. These patterns can also be used to design gift tags or even business cards and other stationery items for individuals and companies as well.
