HOW DID THE EMBLEM GET ITS FORM?
Well, there’s not much to tell, really… I’ve always been interested in graffiti, logo and emblem designs, even coat of arms, or family-crests of nobilities. When FaZuu was first ‘built’, I felt that it needed an emblem, something that is with a ‘groovy’ feel to it.
I wanted a simple emblem, something that didn’t have any pictures or drawings other than the word ‘FaZuu’ in it, but decided against it. Sure, even with mere words, a design might turn out to be ‘groovy’ and cool, but I thought that a ‘border’ made of the main ‘beasts’ of FaZuu would be way cooler. And so, the first emblem was born.
The second emblem came about when Ayez told me the border of the first emblem kind of reminded her of ‘Jaws’ or a shark (a shark with a frog’s head, that is…), so I made another one, using a different style and arrangement. However, the second ‘emblem’ looked more like ‘street-art’ and would look better as a graffiti than an emblem, so after some thought, we all agreed to stick to the first emblem design. The ’shark with a frog’s head’ is not that noticable anyway, and I personally like the clean look, smooth lines and ‘Clamp’y feel of the kitsune’s head, the frog’s head and the tiger’s tail. However, since the second design has its own ‘charm’, we decided to use it in future works as part of the background as such. It’d be such a waste to just throw it away…
