Most people know the story of Adam and Eve from the bible, the story of the first man and first woman according to bible-based religions. With us, it has a relation to our names in itself, and the associations of creation and new ideas of the design industry.
The two figures are representations of the name, Adam in green with a single leaf and Eve in red with two leaves. The leaves used to distinguish between male and female are fig leaves, often used by renaissance painters to cover the naked bodies of Adam and Eve in their masterpieces. This leaf motif is also carried over into our name, using a fig leaf in place of the ‘and’ in Adam and Eve.
