What’s in a Name?
Welcome to January 2015! As I put away holiday decorations, purge files and flip my calendar to the New Year, I can’t help but think about the symbolism in “January”—the month we look backward and forward at once.
January takes its name from the Roman God Janus. Janus was known as “the custodian of the universe”. In mythology, he was the god of beginnings who represented the transition between primitive life and civilization. In many domestic undertakings, his help was sought. This makes perfect sense when you look at the Janus icon (and our logo!). It has two faces, one looking back and one forward.
What’s in a name? At Janus Design Group our design philosophy is a true reflection of all “Janus” symbolizes. We respect the past while embracing the future. We preserve and celebrate what’s “good”, re-invigorating and building on it to make it even better. Our commitment to looking back as we move forward is how we approach each design project. This ensures our clients’ visions come to life. This year, as well as every year, I encourage you to do a double take in January. Celebrate the best from 2014, as you launch 2015 projects. Respect the past while embracing the future and enjoy the richness of both.
Enjoy!
Janus
