One day during nascent creative development at Socent Studios, our founder was researching ancient African culture when he stumbled onto the symbol and history of the ancient solar god, "Akongo." As he would discover, Akongo represented the universe's creative life force.
Though we haven't validated the history or symbol with a scholar, the impact Akongo had on him that night was resonate. Reflected in our logo today, Akongo symbolizes both our philosophy and mission at Socent Studios:
The golden dot in the middle represents you, us, and all that we know.
The dark mass surrounding the golden dot represents the universe, our creative potential, and all that we don't know.
The golden circle encompassing both represents the sacred circle of life, our perpetual journey toward potential, and the mortal destiny that unites us all.
