Go Rhinos: Beauty and the Beast
About ‘Beauty and The Beast’:
A powerful creature adorned with Fragile birds.
Go Rhinos:Flossy
About “Flossy”:
With such big teeth it must be problematic getting a toothache when you’re a rhino. Just as well there’s a dental nurse in town!
Go Rhinos:Beatrix
About ‘Beatrix’:
Stewart is well known amongst his peers for being fanatical about colour so came up with a design that tapped into this obsession. Stewart thought that the best way to provide the greatest colour range was through the use of a spectrum, applying a grid to the rhino and then each division could be a unique shade to create a mosaic style effect.
Go Rhinos: Planet Rhino
Go Rhinos: Rafiki
About “Rafiki”:
Sam Pierpoint was commissioned to create a design based on many of the iconic shows that have visited The Mayflower over the past 25 years. The theatre wanted their design to not only be thought provoking and reflect what they are about but also to inspire adults and children alike to engage and have fun with it! So how many shows can you spot on “Rafiki”?
Go Rhinos: Reginald
“Named after Reginald J Mitchell, designer of the Supermarine Spitfire, this Rhino is intended to celebrate the most iconic and important single seat fighter of World War II. The Spitfire took its first test flight at Eastleigh Aerodrome during March 1936 and the first production fighters were built for the RAF at the Supermarine factory at Woolston, Southampton.” – Damien Jeffery
Go Rhinos: Glint
This rhino is inspired by reflection and light. The horn is covered in crystals to symbolise the value of the rhino to its main predator, the human, but it also highlights that it’s precious and we should protect it. The mirrors will reflect all of the surroundings and have a strong visual impact wherever it is placed.
