Just wondering, why is it that our symbol is a skull?

How does this represent us as a collective group?
I know the eyes are wheels and stuff, but ....

...Might have something to do with the act that Ridazz was founded by Skull...

Memento mori, Faustino. Remember that you will die.

It is with the awareness of our own mortality that we may fully appreciate our vitality. It is in the shortness of our years that we may make our days and hours and minutes long. It is through this humble existence that we may do great things.

Good night, Faustino. In the morning I am off to Africa. I will bring you back a mask for carnival. Sleep well.

That's how I've always also viewed and appreciated the Ridazz Skull.

See, to me it doesn't matter where it really comes from. Be it a memento mori or a reminder of the mindset of the mamas and the papas, what really matters is that it, in and of itself is a symbol, one that reminds all who see it who we are.

It also makes us look kinda badass.

No I definitely agree, but I just wondering if there was something deeper to it.

Because, before this thread, I just thought it was bad ass, ya know.
& I recently took a sociology class & the book covered symbols & cultures..

It would be nice if more people knew what the skull represents. If it should be defined.

Thanks for the responses, truly nice.

Also u may wanna find out who the designer or the logo-skull is. He/she could tell you more on what influenced the design. Also I kknow the copyright owners might be able to shed more light on where they were going when they chose this design. Thanks for aking the ?. I like where this is going.

Thanks for posting that, Patrick. That video should be required viewing for all Ridazz - if only just to see where it was at five years ago.

Of possible interest.

I get the impression that The Bone Ride was the beginning of the Ridazz skull logo, though since I wasn't there, I can't say for sure. It doesn't show up on any spoke cards in its present form until the 1 year anniversary.
