Rawkstars Logo (meaning)

We get a lot of questions about why our logo is a skull. It is partly to remind us of what we are fighting for but it also serves a deeper meaning.

The origins come from this 1671 painting “Still Life With A Skull” by Philippe de Champaign. It’s represented the stoic ideal of Momento Mori (Latin: remember, we die).

Still Life With A Skull

The Daily Stoic gives a great explanation in "What is Memento Mori".

The curly hair takes its cue from one of our founders. We try not to mention his name because if you say it 3 times he appears. It also shows that we are not your daddy’s self-help group. We’re a bit… different.
