Overview

Origin

The brand name "AORUS" is coined from an Egyptian god, Horus,[2] known to be the god of war and hunting, which is depicted as a falcon. The falcon head is therefore used as AORUS's brand logo. According to employees, the first letter of HORUS was changed to "A" to represent the brand as "A team".
