My friend Deepon showed me his graphic-design of the logo-writing on different background colors; We both leaned toward the soft-sky-blue option. Shortly after I took the bus to Manhattan; staring up into the clear sky, coincidentally the same blue we picked; I realized it needed a migrating bird. Then, my childhood song in Chinese about swallows chimed in. I decided to research the bird when I got home that night. What I found was perfect, as they resemble buskers particularly in these 5 ways:
1. "Swallows have a worldwide cosmopolitan distribution, occurring on every continent except Antarctica." 2. They migrate. 3. "Swallows are able to produce many different calls or songs, which are used to express excitement, to communicate." 4. "The swallow is called the "bird of freedom" because it cannot endure captivity and will only mate in the wild." (Buskers are known to migrate with the climate, according to both nature and nurture.) 5. "Much folklore surrounds the swallow." (My Chinese childhood song popped into my head while on the bus one day, staring up at that soft blue sky. It seems most cultures have something written about swallows.)
