The Merlion - From Logo to National Symbol
Manage episode 302926007 series 2422556
Singaporeans have a mixed set of feelings when it comes to the Merlion - on one hand, it is an increasingly globally recognised icon and a major tourist attraction, and on the other hand, it is a reminder that one of Singapore's biggest symbols comes not from a mythos but from a logo design. Join us this episode as Elliot and Rovik spend this short episode exploring the tale of the Merlion including:
- Learning about the history of the Merlion as a logo for a government body
- Following the Merlion's courageous move to its current location at Merlion Park
- Tracking the other Merlions around the world, including a guardian deity version in Hokkaido
