ABOUT OUR LOGO
Our logo design not only represents our brand, it is also an example of how our storytelling process affects every aspect of what we do creatively.
Nimble
“Nimble” represents our ability to move through projects with ease; and to quickly understand and devise the optimal solutions for every challenge our clients presents to us.

The Dragon
The Dragon in our logo represents the “S” in Studios. In East Asian culture, the dragon symbolizes strength, power and good luck.
