[Justin Timberlake] I’m bringing sexist back [JT]
A business can be successful with a crappy logo. Many are. And it may well be, given the locale and demographic, that it’s a deliberately… odd design. The whole thing is about absurdly faux-Cherman as Der Wienerschnitzel, so maybe it plays well with London hipsters of varied orientation.

“Hermann the One Eyed German” is something my dad said, you can probably guess referring to what. Is that term or a variation of it known in the UK?
Not heard that myself, but I have heard “Jap’s eye” frequently used to refer to the urethral slit.
I don’t think you can make something look like a sausage without also making it look like a penis.
Yeah, but you don’t have to draw the helmet.
Instead of a “closed” sign, they should make one that says “The wurst is yet to come” .
Or, “Come again later!”
I think the OP’s mental gutter needs to be re-calibrated, because that logo looks about as un-phallic as it’s possible for a sausage to look. Real penes do not have moustaches, for starters. And the aspect ratio is all wrong. It’s still a bad logo, but that’s mostly because, in an effort to make it look less like a penis, they ended up with something that looks more like a drug capsule.
Oh how I wish you could send your advice to the designer of the Joshua Jewel logo.
This is a website primarily for little girls and there’s that vaguely phallic symbol on every page.
Or am I just seeing things?
