Even when Make Ready LLC was just an idea, I thought of the coyote as the perfect symbol to represent it. The coyote is a powerful character in the animal world, and in many ways embodies all that the Make Ready lifestyle entails. He is a survivor, whose mantra would likely be “expect the unexpected,” and his adaptability is legendary. Coyote is a pack animal, but also capable of surviving on his own, in the face of whatever challenges his environment presents him with. He is tough, and sly, but also a trickster and a sage. He is a teacher, whose lessons aren’t always apparent at first, and so he demands that we stay sharp all the time.


The coyote reminds us to be aware, practical, adaptable, and to use whatever resources are available to us to survive, and to thrive, and occasionally, not to take ourselves too seriously as we pursue this path. His teachings sometimes come unexpectedly, and so his silhouette in our logo beckons us to Make Ready.
