About our logo: Representations of the Scarab beetle and similar creatures enjoy wide literary and popular culture references and were sacred to the ancient Egyptians and heavily featured in their myths. In fact, the god Khepri was a man with a beetle head. He was a solar deity and a creation god. Scarabs were also featured in popular protective amulets and rings. The scarab was seen as a reflection of the heavenly cycle, and as representing the idea of rebirth or regeneration. It is in this creative spirit that we invoke its likeness.
