About ‘Olly’

‘Olly’ the ObjectOpus Octopus

‘Olly’ was created as the mascot for the ObjectOpus.  Since the name was similar to ‘octopus’, the choice of a mascot was a given.  Olly represents the various facets of Objectivist philosophy as well as to the subject of writing.  His two forward tentacles are holding open a book and writing.  In his others we see a glass of wine to signify the celebration of living and the enjoyment of the finer things in life, a rose indicating love and things of beauty, a ‘$’ sign representing value and earning and finally the Rand ‘A=A’ to signify reason and existence.
