There's a kitchen textiles company called Cooksmart. I have some of their tea towels. On several occasions I've noticed their logo on the tag and found it a bit odd. It looks like this:
Why, I kept wondering, have they used the chef's hat to represent the letter A when it clearly looks more like the M? Was it a strange oversight or a deliberate ploy to bait sad losers like me into blogging about them? It seemed so obvious that they'd got it wrong. In my head, I had already composed a slightly haughty email.
But first, to satisfy my hunch, I adjusted the logo to how I thought it should look.
And immediately I saw why they hadn't done it this way. Now it looks like Cooks' Art. The hat doesn't look like an M at all! They were right all along. In my head I composed another email to apologise for the previous email even though I'd never written it, let alone sent it.
I'm sorry for doubting you Cooksmart. I may still email you about putting the hanging loop in the corner rather that the side though. That annoys me.
The moral? Don't be a smart arse.

I presume it's just me who immediately thought it looked like something rude?
@Simon Sadly not. I also thought the same.
BUT, then I thought "actually it could be a spanner". it doesn't look a lot like a chef's hat, really. It's not as good as the Pillsbury Dough Boy's hat, for example.
It totally looks like something rude! Upside down, but still rude. In fact, it reminds me exactly of this:

I honestly didn't notice the penis. Perhaps they should branch out into bedroom toys.
And here was me thinking this post was going to end with the logo re-rendered as 'Cocksmart'...
"In my head I composed another email to apologise for the previous email even though I'd never written it..."
I did laugh-out-loud at this.
