Tribal seahorse

Patience, tenacity |March 13, 2009

Design Story

The seahorse is often used to represent aquaticity, and it symbolizes patience and tenacity on account of his characteristics of letting itself be carried around by the waves, without struggling when wanting to move, and clinging tight to the kelps by its tail when resting.

We thought of stylizing some waves on its head and a fish hook, or matau, at the end of the tail to be a symbol of protection on the water.
