"BANBURYS CROSS"
Banbury's Cross is inspired by Wendy's PIXEL series (an exaggerated screenshot of how we receive our information and our obsession with technology) and her EYE series (representing many things: "All Seeing Eye", Eye of the Beholder, Eagle Eye...). The message component is a classic nursery rhyme called "Ride a cock horse to Banburry Cross."
"CELEBRATE"
With Celebrate as a theme, the horse is red and black. A rich bright red, the colour for strength, victory and pride is the base colour. Solid black grounds the horse representing power and elegance.
