What
does the cute logo and subtitle stand for?
The logo
represents a Pig's snout, looked at face on. We wanted to associate with
the piggybank of our childhood, and that theme of judicious saving for
the rainy days is carried over throughout the site. For example, our ten
investment principles are titled, "The Pig Files." Why just
a Pig's snout? Well, imagine it's foggy and you can't quite see anything
except a few feet from your nose (i.e., a lot of things, including investing,
are foggy to many). What is the first thing you see when a Pig walks out
of the fog? Its snout! Hence, our logo and subtitle creates the imagery
of a Pig coming out of the (investment) fog. Our goal is to clarify and
demystify the investing process to our readers, so they can also "come
out of the fog."
Why
the capital P in Pig?
We wanted
to contrast the voracious and greedy nature of pigs (or "PIGS!")
with the wisdom and patient saving attitude our parents instilled in us
when we started to save money in our piggybanks. We're proudly "Pigs"--not
"pigs" or PIGS!".
