Whats in a Name? Why Green Eyed Frog?

Well, this is something I am often asked... It was my 8 year old son's idea. At the time he was into Crazy Frog songs in the charts and suggested Crazy Frog but we said oh nooooo silly boy. Then we thought about the frog theme and after several months, with help from my son, again, came up with Green Eyed Frog. It needed to be catchy, easy to remember and have a simple, reproducable logo so Green Eyed Frog was born.

A Green Eyed Frog is actually an Australia Tree Frog:
The green-eyed tree frog has adapted its appearance to blend in with the moss-covered rain forests of Queensland, Australia. The frogs' coloration and markings vary with their specific habitat, but they usually have a brownish-green body with rust-colored blotches that match the lichen-covered rocks lining the creeks and streams they tend to live near.This species gets its name not for green eyes per se, but rather for a line of brilliant green that often adorns the brow of each eye. They are also distinguishable by a row of skin flaps along their arms and legs, which resembles a serrated knife.
