GECKO PEDALS (Springfield, USA)

What’s With the Geckos?

Naming a business is as hard as naming a band, especially if you end up going in the “spirit animal” direction.  What mascot from the animal-kingdom really embodies all the qualities that a business might strive for?    For me, I had to look no further than the gecko.

“I have been intrigued with geckos ever since I saw my first one in central Mexico years ago”.  They scurry around everywhere, seemingly performing magic as they chase insects straight up vertical walls and even upside-down across ceilings.  Also, most lizards are mute, but the gecko makes really cool chirping and clicking noises that sometimes sound vaguely like “geck-ooo”, hence its name.  On top of all that, many consider them to be good luck when they are around, as they can leave your surroundings mostly bug-free.

“As a pedal builder, I strive to make quality bug-free pedals that make cool noises and seemingly perform magic.  Hence:  Gecko Pedals”
