Smergen? Blergen?

Navigation: Home / Origin Story

Name origin

Circa 2008. Gary Indiana. Tony Morales puts on a visual display as he carves his way through life. "Smergen blergen djurgen," he exclaims waving his hands about in front as he pushes through crowds making a point to touch and feel and hold their hands. Tony was born with thumb hypoplasia. He was never shy about this one day. If he didn't have your face in his palm by the end of meeting you, then he simply wasn't aware you were there.

Breaking down the wall of insults and focus by putting positive attention on his hand immediately broke all ice standing between Tony and the world. He was the first to speak, first to act, and never afraid to take the limelight. He could always make the best of a situation and show you the other side of things. He had a real charismatic perspective.

In life, well before and long now after his death, his phrases of "Smergen Blergen" remind those closest to him of how easy it is to laugh here on earth. In naming the brand which represents now a gallery of artists, gaming, fun, and entertainment in general, I hope to bring a unique name you can identify as friendly, family, fun; as likeable as the next giant home trusted brand name like Pepsi or Nintendo!

The Eagle Nebula
Behind each logo is the Eagle Nebula M16. Nasa zooms using the Hubble telescope below!

"These towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas sit at the heart of M16, or the Eagle Nebula. The aptly named Pillars of Creation, featured in this stunning Hubble image, are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns.

Although this is not Hubble’s first image of this iconic feature of the Eagle Nebula, it is the most detailed. The blue colors in the image represent oxygen, red is sulfur, and green represents both nitrogen and hydrogen. The pillars are bathed in the scorching ultraviolet light from a cluster of young stars located just outside the frame. The winds from these stars are slowly eroding the towers of gas and dust.

Stretching roughly 4 to 5 light-years, the Pillars of Creation are a fascinating but relatively small feature of the entire Eagle Nebula, which spans 70 by 55 light-years. The nebula, discovered in 1745 by the Swiss astronomer Jean-Philippe Loys de Chéseaux, is located 7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens. With an apparent magnitude of 6, the Eagle Nebula can be spotted through a small telescope and is best viewed during July. A large telescope and optimal viewing conditions are necessary to resolve the Pillars of Creation."
