Oliphant logo that I created. Oliphant translates from the Celtic language to mean "Bull Elephant". The Celts in 42AD created the word to describe the sound of the approaching Roman army who included fifty elephants in their attack. What the hell, if it worked for Hannibal 250 years earlier going over the alps, the English Channel should have been a cake walk for Emperor Claudius' commander Aulus Plautius. They ivy wreath intertwined around the elephants trunk represents litterally my mother who's middle name was ivy, as well as figuratively, the bonds of love that my parents shared. Here is a link to the history of the battle of Medway, Kent. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/r/ro/roman_invasion_of_britain.htm
