The name pugpog was inspired back in the mid-1990s at a visit to the International Toy Fair in New York City. My love of pugs and the reintroduction of the collectible pog became pugpog, my online screen name for every account, game and avatar since AOL IM and MySpace. It only seemed natural that pugpog design become my professional brand as well. The logo is an homage to my pug Jack (2003-2018) and all the wonderful dogs that have given me the privilege of sharing their lives!
