Akiro designs and develops software systems and specializes in re-engineering, and the integration of business systems with web-enabled applications.

Their company logo features a frog, which is fairly uncommon for a software development company. In the process of designing their website, the founder decided to incorporate some illustrations to the site. In my opinion, it served two purposes - it reinforced their special logo design, and secondly, it softened the business tone of the website with some whimsy (a cartoon frog).
