In New Zealand and Australia, the friendly Gecko (Hoplodactylus Pacificus or Granulatus) is renown for changing its pattern and tone (but not color) to blend with the environment. Geckos in the Pacific Rim (especially South East Asia) are also considered lucky.

When Doug founded Art Gecko (a play on Art Deco) and Studio Gecko, he wanted to indicate a behind the scenes, adaptable prowess and to engender a positive, creative response.
