TLOU THE STORY BEHIND T.L.O.U AS A BRAND

1. INTRODUCTION of T.L.O.U (The Last Of Us) Tlou is my name given to me by my father named after his brother, it’s a clan name that take me back to our roots….. it all started as name until I made it an empire by transforming it into a brand, what I like is that it fits all the 11 official languages of South Africa.

It is one of the animals in the Big 5 and is sacred to most if not all the culture and traditional tribes and/or clans of African and Asian countries, and it has a very deep sentimental value and meaning to African and Asian mass.

In a body and mind, the Elephant is a symbol of power, in a journey that requires strength of mind like that of a Christian; it is important to a balance of strength and power.

TLOU 2. BACKGROUND OF THE NAME, T.L.O.U (The Last of Us) At first it was just a name T.L.O.U in 2014, two years (2016) down the line I managed to get the abbreviation (The Last Of Us) and a logo (Elephant head front view), a year later after, I designed a second logo (Elephant head side view) which is the one I am currently using.

T.L.O.U Clothing Brand is suitable for all age groups and can be worn by anyone as is a clothing brand for the people; it covers both the nature, agriculture and the traditional part.

It worked in my favour as I am Pedi because I managed to abbreviate my name T.L.O.U (Elephant in English) to The Last Of Us whereby people define it in many ways, others says it relates to their relationships (As they are the last of their loving kind taking relationships serious), some says it relates to their families (As they are the last of that particular tribe or their surname will vanish into thin air as the is no other one to carry it to the next generation) but to me it came as an education point of view that in the next coming generations Elephants (Tlou) will be extinct so the brand will help the grand[1]grand-grand children get a clue of what elephants looked like and how they behaved and shaped the ecosystem as a whole, just like us as we are taught about the dinosaurs in this era we living in.

SINCE THE POACHING OF ELEPHANTS’ HORN (IVORY) GREW RAPIDLY IN THE PAST YEARS IT RESULTED IN ELEPHANTS BEING THE MOST ENDANGERED SPECIES ON EARTH THEREFORE THE NAME T.L.O.U ABBREVIATED TO THE LAST OF US IS BASICALLY BASED ON THAT THE ELEPHANTS THAT ARE STILL IN EXISTENCE NOW ARE THE LAST OF THEIR KIND BEFORE THEY ARE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF EARTH SOON.
