Just came across the image above, reminded me of the image I created (and wrote about) a while ago to show the power of type-in branding:
The concept is still as strong as ever and hopefully one day someone will seriously consider adding it to their landing pages.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for IDN, but actually Dingbats will not be supported by the new IDNA protocol and therefore will not pass Nameprep. Sorry for any disappointment.
David,
You’ve missed the point entirely, but thanks for coming out.
Hi Sahar,
I remember we discussed this topic along with several other domainers on a forum and other areas back in 2005 — and I actually think if all parking services agreed to feature a universal neutral banner such as the one you designed to promote direct navigation (name direction, browser surfing, etc), it would be a huge marketing coup for domains.
Imagine, everyone, Sahar’s icon banner appearing on tens of millions of landing pages every second, every day. Selling the typein way! I think it is ambitious but definitely possible. Who should spearhead this movement? Sahar!
Joel,
I think you need to learn when you are having you leg pulled, although I was also making a serious point to others, as we seem to have a lot of Newbies coming into the IDN game right now. I really wouldn’t want them to end up with hundreds of junk IDNs. IDN are entirely about letting others do in their own language and scripts exactly what Americans do in English. If you attempt to do anything else then you are likely to run into trouble.
Another one - when NBC promotes their website after their tv shows they show their logo with a .com after it - not nbc.com
