Our Symbol


The Arts Hummingbird in the Forest of Neurons

Our marketing team and our marketing committee developed 18 designs to encapsulate what we wish to symbolize. After discussion & voting, we chose this cute graphic design which was conceptualized and drafted by our CMO, Selina Zhang, and two members of her marketing team.

When the analogous arts hummingbird sings, dances, or paints, (1) the bird stimulates the forest of neurons. Yet (2) the bird needs the forest of neurons to function. The bird and the forest flourish synergistically.


Hope is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all - 

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - 

from a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
