The image of the Ouroboros symbolises concepts such as self-reflexivity, unity and the eternal cycle of renewal or regeneration.
“The Year of the Dragon” is a term often used in the Chinese zodiac system. It refers to one of the 12 animal signs of the Chinese lunar calendar. Each year in this belt is associated with a different animal, and the dragon is one of them. People born in the Year of the Dragon are strong, ambitious and charismatic, according to Chinese astrology. That already appeals to us.
For nxtile, the Year of the Dragon has an additional meaning. Our trustmark featuring the dragon eating its own tail. It refers to an ancient symbol that stands for cyclicality, circularity, eternity and the infinite nature of existence. The image goes way back in time, from 13th-century BC Egypt to the Greeks and 15th-century alchemists, but is still relevant today. It represents exactly the core values of nxtile.

The Year of Circularity
A dragon can be sweet, cuddly, but also vicious, dangerous even. There is spunk in it! We translate the Chinese Year of the Dragon into the Year of Circularity.
