We have chosen the cheetah for our logo because it represents so many of the qualities of agility so well. Many equate agility just with speed. Ability to move quickly is important. The cheetah can reach speeds of 60 MPH in 3 seconds when necessary. However, equally important is its constant and total awareness of the surroundings, challenges, resources, and opportunities. Constant awareness and evaluation of when, where, how, and if a movement should be made is as important as total speed.
