The Story Behind the Oannes Eagle: Land, Sea, and Sky

When we founded Oannes, we wanted a name and a symbol that reflected the heart of what we believe in: knowledge, adaptability, and respect for the natural world. The name came first. Oannes is inspired by a mythical teacher said to rise from the sea, bringing wisdom, skills, and culture to early civilizations. His story is rooted in both land and water, making him the perfect inspiration for a brand built for outdoor work, exploration, and everyday living.

But our logo, the eagle, brings a new dimension to that story.

The eagle is one of the rare creatures that commands land, sea, and sky. It hunts over water, moves confidently across terrain, and soars above it all. That range of adaptability, shifting effortlessly between environments, embodies the way we live in our gear. Apparel shouldn’t hold you to one place or one purpose. It should move with you.

Look closely and you’ll see a wave woven into the eagle’s shape. That wave is a nod to our coastal roots, long days on the water, and the environments that shaped us. The eagle itself stands for strength, clarity, resilience, and the freedom to rise to the elements—whether that’s sun, wind, salt, or a tough day’s work.

Together, Oannes and the eagle reflect everything we stand for: embracing the outdoors, living everyday adventures, and designing gear that keeps up with real life.

Because life doesn’t happen in just one place.
And neither should your apparel.

EMBRACE THE ELEMENTS.
