"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet"
Call Me ORIE!
That being said by William Shakespeare in the
phenomenal drama "Romeo and Juliet". The legendary drama
written of the British up until now have remained popular and cited many
people. He is true, whatever is called a rose would still show its good smell,
so whatever is called an Orangutan would still remain the original of Indonesian
big ape. So what's in a name?
Choosing Orangutan as our representative icon are expected to accelerate
double impact, helping to communicate our idea of LITTLE INDONESIA and joined
the campaign to build awareness of the importance to save Orangutan. Itis one of theendangeredanimals protected by the law andwewant our existence could also build the awarenessto
save thatpoor animals.
When the idea growing up and come into the step to be realized, we are
looking for something that can be refers as a starting point. Something strong,
unique, distinctive and represent Indonesia appropriately so able to talk the
idea of Indonesia clearly. Of the many objects, creatures, and other attributes
attached to Indonesia, our choices lead to creature called
"Orangutan". These creatures are the only big ape that lived in Asia
and can only be found in the forests of Borneo and Sumatra islands. Others big
apes such as gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos live in mainland of Africa.
Who does not know Angry Bird or Sponge Bob or Doraemon or others? We understand
the visual and character, our kids may not have been as high as our level of
understanding but it was enough to make them idolized all characters which are
considered as "hero". Their faces and many other characters adorn the
various attributes of kids, such as: t-shirts, clothing, handbags, hats, and others.
They are loved and become an idol, but unfortunately does not represent anything
of Indonesia, there is also tells nothing about Indonesia. Our kids loved it but
did not get any message about Indonesia
