1. Summus is Latin for Highest. Summus is a palindrome, spelled the same way backwards as frontwards. It’s nice to know no matter how you read it, the meaning doesn’t change.
2. Our thistles. A long time symbol of protection and tenacity. We had a multinational corporation once tell us that local companies like us are just “weeds in their garden.” We liked that metaphor so much we added the thistle to our logo.
3. The adult bear is keeping watch over what it values most. It’s relaxed, non aggressive and calm but on watch and prepared. The bear cub is safe, protected and never alone. We are all reminded it’s best not to come between a bear and it’s cub.
4. Latin Motto of the thistle, translated to “no one provokes me with impunity.” To us this means any attempts to hurt or take from the people on this property will generate an immediate response.
