🌱 The Logo 🫐
Our logo tells a story of our roots and our mission.
The ring surrounding the atom represents a blueberry, a nod to our Mississippi heritage and our commitment to growth. Seeing any plant to fruit is a labor of love, and we believe that the same care and attention should be given to the technology we create. Just as a blueberry grows from a seed to a fruit, we nurture our projects from concept to completion, ensuring that they are not only functional but also remarkable and delightful.
Inside the blueberry, there is a React atom, symbolizing our focus on React.js web development. The atom represents our core belief in building applications that are not only reactive and fast but also accessible and user-friendly. The React atom is in the center of the blueberry, also known as the calyx, reprsents our core belief in React.js web development.
We believe in supporting grassroots efforts, and our logo reflects that. The blueberry is a symbol of our commitment to nurturing both technology and relationships. While we're city folks at heart, our family's agrarian roots inspire our grounded approach.
And fun fact: Eliot's blue compact sedan was affectionately named the "Blueberry", too!
