Our Logo
These characters in our logo, were inspired by one of the items discovered within the Martynivka Treasure (мартинівський скарб), depicting a person squatting and possibly wearing an embroidered shirt.
Nobody really knows for sure what these symbols were used for, by whom or how far back these go - but we think that this is the earliest symbol of someone doing Ukrainian dance.
This ancient treasure were the inspiration for our logo, designed by Myroslava Varvarenko, from Lviv.
