Googling, that wasn’t their logo, but the [artwork on a Christmas card](https://x-culture.org/bad-logos/). I can see that a Christmas card didn’t get as much scrutiny as a new corporate logo would have. ---

The Panda Express [two talking pandas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvrkV7J_tyw) mascots were the worst mascots I ever saw on television.

> [@Driver8](#): > > “Fart” in Swedish means “speed”, so maybe they’re targeting Scandinavians. It’s certainly odd sounding to this English speaker, and seeing “Fart kontrol” road signs do tend to bring out the inner eight year old. In Switzerland I came across a train station with a large “FART” sign posted, which I assumed was an acronym. Not sure how to post it here, so if you want to see it, do a Google image search on “Locarno Switzerland fart sign”, and it’ll pop up. ---
