Wilber, who created the food truck’s logo, said she aimed to incorporate the meaning of the namesake into the design, pulling remembrance, family values, and love to the forefront. The logo also ties in with a story Christensen heard from Ojibwe artist, Isaac Murdoch . “He tells a story about stars— who represent the ancestors— reflecting their light on the surface of the water and salmon absorbing their energy. We adapted that story and thought the duck and the catfish would do the same thing. When we eat them, we’re kind of eating the stars,” explained Christensen. “There is this relationship and connection between them.” The Duck & Cat logo, according to Wilber, has the duck on the top of the water and the catfish right underneath, tying in the symbolism of the story, the name, and memory into one.
