Eight Years of bggr cr8v: A Journey of Resilience and Renewal
I was born on August 18th, during the vibrant era of neon colors and funky beats. Little did I know how much the number eight would mean? Now, as the founder of Bigger Creative, I realize the hidden significance of the 'eight.' The early years of Bigger were filled with euphoria, much like the energy that had pulsated through the '80s. Creativity was our North Star, guiding us through uncharted territories. We were determined to make a lasting impact in the world of design.
Our energy was unrestrained like the eight winds in ancient Greece, each blowing in a different direction and affecting every corner of the world. The number eight, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture, echoes our sentiment. Any business is an adventure, but not without its hurdles. Bigger Creative faced some major challenges around its fifth year. The vibrant colors of our creativity began to fade, and we hit a rough patch. Our mission had lost its melody, and it felt like our symphony of creativity was missing a crucial note.
During a challenging phase in business and life, I realized that reworking my logo was the sound of 'eight' - Bigger Creative, as in 'to cre-eight.' The revelation was like sunlight breaking through thick fog. I emphasized the 'eight-digit in our emblem to represent our renewed perspective and connection to the number.
As we enter our eighth year, we do so with renewed energy. We are prepared not only for recovery but for a rebirth. Our focus is more precise than ever, and we are committed to sustainable design. The oxygen atom, with its eight protons and eight electrons essential for life on Earth, is a perfect metaphor for our present state.
We are revitalizing our work by embodying the balanced approach to life outlined in Buddhism's eightfold path. Our goal is to harmoniously blend creativity with sustainability.
