    If you look closely at the regular Dodge logo, it appears to be fallopian tubes and ovaries.

    Finally, Daffy Duck gets the press he deserves, or is it craves?

  • Quiet Noises

    A bit of a stretch, unlike the man in the vertical Coca Cola script, which I still see every time I look at the logo.

    If you look at the Dodge Viper logo long enough, you’ll see it’s a symbol for midlife crisis.

    This wasn’t the only design that they originally had. I was working in the blueprint room at Chrysler and made blueprint copies of a c-sized sheet with 12 different logos on it. I had to make something like 75~10 copies of it, so the whole Viper team could vote on which logo to go with. So, if one of then slipped this in there, he got it by the rest of the group, or they were in on it.

    The snake is kinda vague but I clearly see the Daffy. Maybe some people don’t want to see the daffy, hmmmm?

    And if you drive a viper you get flipped everywhere you go.

    So, I wonder when this was first noticed.

    Was it when this happened?

    Or maybe when this occurred?

    Speaking of Dodge, I noticed a long time ago that the RAM logo was essentially a very close approximation of the female reproductive organs. Oh yes. . .take a look, there is the vaginal tube, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. And right underneath, of course, the word RAM.

    A graphic designer with a delicious sense of humor just waiting to see how long it would take for someone to notice? Perhaps, even graphic designers have their own version of easter eggs. Who knew? Too funny!

    HEHE from the company who’s logo resembles a uterus and fallopian tubes more then a ram head. Now to come up with a good DAFFY acronym for a bankrupt failing brand.
