Where did the name come from

The Cosmic Elk is the constellation of Ursa Major. The name was originally the title of an article for Clocks Magazine as part of a series on early timekeeping. It stuck and became the imprint of the small publishing company. More about the Cosmic Elk.

The Cosmic Elk logo comes from a small part of a rock drawing in Yakutia on an ancient sacred site in use for thousands of years. The drawings represent the sky and constellations, and ancient myths.
