It all started with this logo which I saw on FB, which shows a couple`s names- both starting with the letter "P"- intertwined, with a single "P" for both their names formed into the shape of a seahorse.How cute, I thought. Might as well get one for ourselves, by ourselves, with a symbol or object that is a nod to our common interest or past.
So that`s how the ginkgo leaf idea came in. In Japan, the ginkgo tree is a symbol of longevity, hope, and resilience. Each autumn sees the university awash with its vibrant, yellow-gold leaves...
This yearly phenomenon sends the students, especially the Pinoys, in a picture-taking frenzy. I can`t explain it.
Anyway, here are some designs we came up with (technically it was the G who drew them).
First version. I didn`t like the fonts, the leaves I thought too curly, and why so many?
Other versions:
And still another one.
The Todai reference on this one is too obvious, we could get sued, hehe. I like its simplicity, though.
In the end we had to let go of the idea. But it was fun for the most part.
