Nick's Logo & Slogan
Many people have asked where the idea for our logo and slogan originated. Nick loved all things medieval; dragons, knights and castles to name a few. He read fantasy and especially enjoyed reading books on King Arthur. The dragon is a wyvern, a legendary winged creature with two legs and a barbed tail often found in medieval heraldry, and came from one of Nick's dragon books. Luke thought of the sword and shield as it matched the memorial he had placed at Nick's site. Nick chose the red and black colors and the "Fight to be Healed" slogan while friends and family were raising money to help us with his medical bills. Together, they represent the spirit of Nick that we hope will shine through and help children defend themselves against cancer.
The slogan is just fun and we wanted a cartoon approach since Nick was often called a cartoon character. Starting from a young age, Nick always had his thumbs up in every picture taken. So even in the midst of tragedy, we want hope and positive energy to shine through. Humor and laughter have always been a large part of our lives so "Healing Kids by Having Fun" is what Nick would want.
