Our Name & Logo
“Gung-Ho” means “Enthusiastically Working Together In A Successful Manner”
Gung-Ho is an American English term which, literally translated, means “work together.” In everyday use, Gung-Ho has two meanings: (1) Extremely enthusiastic and dedicated; and (2) Perform in a successful manner to create something new where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts or, simply stated, “1 + 1 = 3.”
Our Gung-Ho Logo
The two interacting boomerangs in our logo represent the synergy of “working together.” Our logo is also a loosely shaped “G” for “Gung-Ho,” an “upward sloping arrow” indicating “successful growth,” and “swimming upstream” to
“disrupt the status quo.”
Our Gung-Ho Attitude
Over the years, Gung-Ho has gained a reputation for its positive – one might even say “gung-ho” – attitude about doing whatever it takes to meet its clients’ needs.
