The Butterfly Effect

Many people usually identify me with the color RED.

It is quite obvious, because almost in every occasion, I will always wear anything related to red color.

That has become one of my trademark.

 

 Merry Riana - Lady in Red

 

But there’s another trademark that I have that many of people didn’t really know.

And I'm going to share with you today

 

Now, I want you to take a look at my logo carefully.

 

Merry Riana Logo

 

When you see this logo, what does the shape remind you of?
 

MR

 

Yup! It looks like a butterfly.

I actually designed this logo myself.

 

Here's my original drawing:

 

 MR Logo drawing

 

 

And it was evolved from this 2 letters: M & R

 

MR handwriting

 

 

There are 3 important elements in the logo:

 

1. MR

Which is a short form of my name: Merry Riana

 

 2. Butterfly

 To me this butterfly symbolize 3 things
 

a. Transformation

The butterfly’s life cycle is one of transformation. The caterpillar emerges from an egg, then, transforms into a chrysalis, the stage in which caterpillar’s body is broken down and changed into the adult’s one. It’s from this stage that the butterfly emerges.

And just like how butterfly transformed from a cocoon, so does myself.
From a humble beginning, I’ve struggled. And thru that tough moment in my life, I became who I am right now.

 

b. Actualisation

 
Butterfly represent beauty. It brings color and lightness to people’s life. And interestingly, each butterfly has its own unique color and shape. There is no ugly butterfly. Same like us, each one of us has our own uniqueness. We have our own strenght, passion and talent. To actualise means to know who you are, and to be the person that you are, every single minute of your life.

Butterfly also represent freedom. It can freely fly wherever she wants to go. No boundaries and no limits.

I’m blessed that I can now freely living my life. I know who I am, why I'm here and what is my life purpose. I'm enjoying every single moment of my live, doing what I’m passionate about. 
 

c. Inspiration

Butterfly gets their food by going from one flower to another. And interestingly while she does that, she also brings benefits to the flowers because she pollinate them. 

That’s exactly what I'm doing. As much as I’ve been blessed, I too want to be a blessing for others.While I’m doing my work, I eventually will touch more hearts and change more lives.  My aim for the next 10 years is to be able to create a positive impact to the lives of 1,000,000 people, especially women, in Asia. .

 

 

3. Cross

I added the cross symbol right at the centre. This is to remind me that God will always be the centre of my life, and in everything that I do. He is the only reason why I can be where I am today, and He will always be the main reason why I’m doing what I’m doing today. 

 

 

So, that's so much about the meaning behind my MR Logo.

That’s also the reason why I love the logo so much, because it is something that really personal to me and  I believe can truly represent me.

 
 

Well, now at least you know another interesting thing about me :)
Hope next time you'll see a butterfly, you will think of me :)  hahaha….

    Dear Merry,
    Firstly I’m very impressive with your works and of course “… next time if I see a butterfly, I will think of you…” But, just to inform you, unfortunately the term “Butterfly Effect” which is derived from the study of System Dynamic applied only to chaotic environment (Chaotic / Nonlinear Dynamic study) condition.
    Sorry, if you insist to put “Butterfly Effect” in your theme, it means you’re supposing your (working) environment all are in chaotic condition.
    Best,
