== About Phantis ==
===The Name===
The name '''Phantis''' originates from the Greek word '''phantis''' (or ''fantis''' ) (φάντης) for the '''Jack''' of playing cards. The spade (<font size="5">♠</font>) symbol was also used as part of the logotype to denote the '''Jack of Spades''' and the Greek '''phantis''' (or ''fantis '') '''bastouni''' (''Φάντης Μπαστούνι''). The term ''fantis bastouni'' is used in Greek to describe something sudden and unexpected -- He appeared like a fantis bastouni (Jack of Spades) -- (''εμφανίστηκε σαν το φάντη μπαστούνι''). The term was used to try and describe the nature of the service -- something originating out of nowhere. Independent, yet powerful.
