THE
MASCOT (ARTWORK)
- The artwork looks very much like the logo except
that here, our mascot The Phoenix is brought in.
The Phoenix is a mythical bird that lives in the
Arabian Desert. According to a legend, the
Phoenix will live in the desert for 500 years
before consuming itself into fire; and out of the
ashes will spring a new young Phoenix, alive and
supreme again. In the mythology of ancient Egypt,
the Phoenix represented the sun, which dies at
night is reborn in the morning.
- This bountiful idea of the Phoenix gave us the
idea to adopt a Phoenix as our mascot with a
little difference. There are a few alternative
ways to describe the logo. The first one is that
the Phoenix is a bird that arises from the flames
in order to help realize the Red Crescent
Society’s Members Dreams. The other one is
after the fire has burned down mankind through
disasters’ we (the Phoenix) shall spring up
from the collapsing humans to aid the others. The
third description about the artwork is that the
Phoenix will always arise whenever there are
sufferings (depicted by the flames) but no matter
what happens, our members will still carry on
helping anyone in need and not succumb to any
problems (depicted by the flames that fail to
burn down the crescent).
- We always think of our artwork as the third
description because it is really what we hope to
be able to achieve deep down our hearts.
