A lot of people have been asking us about our logo. What's with the crow you might ask yourself? Well truthfully we just kind of like them! They are a popular symbol among crafters and antique stores. They are utilized mostly with primitive decorating. We (Doug and I) spent many nights searching the internet for different ideas for a logo until we came upon the one to the right! Our logo wasn't your typical outlined simple crow, it was a little different. We wanted to develop a logo that reminded people of that old world charm! We hope that you like it. Below is a story about the symbol of the crow and its meaning; it gives you a little bit of background information.......ENJOY!
Crow is an omen of change. Crows live in the void and have no sense of time, therefore being able to see past, present and future simultaneously. They unite both the light and the dark, both the inner and the outer.
Crow is the totem of the Great Spirit and must be held with utmost respect. They are representations of creation and spiritual strength. Crows are messengers, telling us about the creation and magic all around us, that is available to us just for the asking. Look for opportunities to bring into being the magic of life.
The striking black colour of the crow represents the colour of creation. It is the womb out of which the new comes into existence. Black is the colour of the night, giving birth to the light of a new day.
Crows are sly and can be deceptive in their actions. They have been known to build false nests high in treetops to confuse predators. Their nests are built very high up, giving them the chance to watch everything that is going on around them. As crows are adaptable to all environments and will eat almost anything, they can survive in almost any situation.
Crow is surrounded by magic, unseen forces and spiritual strength. If crow enters your life, get out of your familiar nest, look beyond your present range of vision, listen to the message(s) in its caw and act accordingly.
Well done - thanks for the explanation!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an amazing logo! It's looks REALLY similar to the artwork of a talented illustrator on the East Coast named Bri Hermanson. So similar, in fact, that it's the very SAME image= http://www.bhermanson.com/crow
ReplyDeleteI do believe that's called plagarism in it's most blatant form. Stealing an image and using it as your LOGO?! And then the article explaining how you spent long hours "developing" it. Unbelievable...
Images on the internet are NOT FREE. So please don't assume the all the work was in the search for a logo. Illustrators do the work, use their talents and should be compensated for that usage. I hope that you call the illustrator and work out a payment for that lovely crow art work. Otherwise be careful of © infringement and court fees.
ReplyDeleteWHere are your ethics? You steal an artists work and claim it for your logo. I hope this costs you big bucks. Shame on you!
