The Zirsch

Excerpt from the fforst-book

A mythical creature; the key visual (visual communication) and contemporary heraldic animal of the fforst house, devised by anschlaege.de. Its silhouette is that of a roaring stag, and its head, neck and the forequarters are a stag´s as well. From the navel on the back, though, it is striped like a zebra. Thus the Zirsch visually unites the things the fforst house combines in reality: Frankfurt (Oder) and vitality, Brandenburg and exoticism, home (Heimat) and internality.
