Behind the imagery...
Our logo came about through serendipitous events. Around twenty-two years ago the master dharma-artist Tashi Mannox created our logo, but not for us. It was originally an un-named commissioned piece for the late Isabella Blow and the famous milliner Philip Treacy. Many many years ago, one of our founders happened to commission his own artist for a tattoo, this image was presented to him - and was foolishly taken from Tashi without his permission. This information recently came to light and the Dao Hut founder reached out to Tashi to correct this wrong-doing. A conversation ensued, the history of this image was discussed, and the licensing and original artwork found its way to Dao Hut. It is a logo that emanates not only the beauty of the simplicity and reverence of Tashi's dharma art, but also the precision of calligraphy, the coming together of different worlds, different colleagues, walking separate paths, but with a similar goal.
As Tashi himself wrote: "The design of the logo is based on the all seeing wisdom eyes of a Dharma protector, who has the ability to see into the past, present, and future. The style is of Tibetan ribbon clouds, that twist and to turn to form the pattern, which end aspiring heavenly to their end point. This also represents freedom of movement and playful spontaneity of a liberated mind, yet at the same time their required trained discipline to form the dancing cloud like design".
