The evolution of Popong

Popong is the name of the fish in our logo. He's a banded butterflyfish (notice i did not mention the number of bands he's got). The 8 banded butterflyfish is abundant here in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. Unfortunately we couldnt fit 8 bands into Popong. He's got only 4 :)

My bro, Bing just gave him the name Popong when he was designing the logo because of the "teropong" (binoculars). I didn't like it, wanted to change the name but Sofia seems to like it. Said it has a local flavour to it. So now its stuck :/ Popong it is!

When we got the idea of the logo, we just slapped nemo with a binoculars to show our deisgner (Bing) how we want it to look.

Then when we got our grant and we were going to attend the symposium, we realize we needed a name card. So Bing worked over time to come up with a mock up of Popong.

Here Popong looks more like a tiger than a fish :D this was the first mock up. He's cute and all but the color is all wrong. So Bing got into it again.

This is the Popong that went to the Symposium with us. He was popular with the guys and a real hit with the ladies ;)

Now we are in the process of registering our little society and we're getting Popong registered too. So the final look? Here it is....
