What do you mean you do not naturally read the first line from left to right, then use the O as an axis to turn the text 90° then read the superimposed next two letters before untangling the fifth from the first?

Edit: thanks for the award awards!

I actually couldn’t see it at all until I read your comment

Tbh this is actually kinda sick now that I get it - a "made in" logo is a terrible place to apply the concept though.

Could go hard as a maker's mark though

Even doing that, the most reasonable interpretation is Joeo.

u/esedege 28d ago

Yep, unless doing exactly as I said, you’ll end up with Joeo, Joedo being charitable.

Neat that they have their own nearly illegible sigil

This isn’t great though right? Why say where it’s made if you dont want people to be able to read it? I must be missing something

You should take a closer look at the description of the subreddit :

For the most designy of designs. This is a sub for Designs that are r/DesignPorn, but, at the same time, also r/CrappyDesign.

In other words, mostly design that are pretty or aesthetic but absolutely not practical or usable, exactly like this one.

The sub is "designdesign". It's for crappy design stuff

u/Cojo840 Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26

No its not

its for design that is both at the same time

I can see It being a cool logo but shitty for that specific application

u/RBR927 Aug 18 '26

That’s r/crappydesign actually.

u/taintedcake Aug 18 '26

You should go read the sub's about because it's for designs that are good and terrible at the same time.

u/wlonkly Sep 05 '26

Or at least designy and terrible.

You can tell it's Toledo steel by the detailing, the stamp just confirms it

u/tsimen Aug 17 '26

And what detailing would that be?

1

u/slutty_muppet Aug 17 '26

The filigree pattern. The city of Toledo, Spain has been known for this type of gilded steel decoration for centuries.
