(Our little) Green Child




This symbolic pictogram called Green Child was designed by Frida Larios (Flavia's daughter in law) for the cover of The Mayan Sacred Calendar 2010, a daily spiritual guide. The birth of Yax, Flavia's grandson, was the inspiration. Mother Earth’s hand preserves the seeds of our planet through a baby and corn sprouts. She opens up to the regeneration of the universe and our spirit.

It earned an honourable mention by AIGA–the largest professional design association in the world based in New York–at AIGA Cross Culture in Design awards. The original gouaché painting is being showcased at the Hacienda's restaurant and is also to be shown at this year's Beijing Typography (bt '09) exhibition–China's most influential and largest international design exhibition to date where Frida has been selected to participate.
