The company began as an online [[bookstore]];<ref name=nyt10years /> while the largest [[brick and mortar business|brick-and-mortar]] bookstores and [[mail-order catalog]]s for books might offer 200,000 titles, an on-line bookstore could offer more. Bezos named the company "Amazon" after the world's [[Amazon River|biggest river]]. Since 2000, Amazon's logotype is an arrow leading from A to Z, representing customer satisfaction (as it forms a smile) and the goal to have every product in the alphabet.<ref name="a-to-z">[http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=97664&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=70550&highlight= Amazon.com Introduces New Logo; New Design Communicates Customer Satisfaction and A-to-Z Selection]</ref>

Amazon's initial [[business plan]] was unusual: the company did not expect a profit for four to five years; the strategy was effective. Amazon grew steadily in the late 1990s while other Internet companies grew blindingly fast. Amazon's "slow" growth provoked stockholder complaints: that the company was not reaching profitability fast enough. When the [[dot-com bubble]] burst, and many e-companies went out of business, Amazon persevered, and, finally, turned its first profit in the fourth quarter of 2001: $5 million, just 1¢ per share, on revenues of more than $1 billion, but the profit was symbolically important.
