After creating the original logo modeled after a frog, which “Maco” translated to English is frog, the name MAZCO was born after adding a Z in the name.” NaeSketchie continued and said, “I dropped the original frog logo and incorporated a new logo involving red, blue and yellow.” The frog represents a variety of symbols, both good and bad which shows that we human beings are not perfect.
