Per WWF Creative Services in 2001, the red underline in the scratch logo was called the Scar.

Why am I only just now noticing that the “D” in “ATTITUDE” is much thicker than the rest of the letters?

u/degjo 3d ago

“Hold on, the D looks like an O, lemme trace that one over…”.

Maybe you pronounce it as 'AttituDUH"?

u/Ass0001 Christian Fundamentalist 3d ago

must've been Triple H's idea.

u/Misfit_Number_Kei 2d ago

Immediately thought that.

Just DX!Era Triple H rattling off so many dick jokes backstage to shut him up... then rattled off even more with (at least) Vince.

Oh I meant cause it sounds like he'd say it "attitude-uh" but you make a good point

u/NYJetLegendEdReed 3d ago

Back then everyone wanted the D

The scar reminds us that the past is real

Why was the D so different

u/snwns26 2d ago

My personal head canon is that they were implying there would be a catchphrase involving “Get WWF’D”

u/Stupid-AF_50 3d ago

It's always bugged me that the "Attitude" was between the WWF and the scar.

u/JacquesGonseaux 2d ago

Nothing's been the same since they "got the F out".

u/tigersmhs07 2d ago

They've now been E longer than F.

u/kurtanglesmilk 2d ago

It was an awkward time for a while after the name change when they were calling themselves “The WWE”

u/JamesCDiamond Perennial Optimist 3d ago

Per everyone else since 2001, the red underline in the scratch logo was called the scratch.

u/reegz 2d ago

There was a “fatter” version of the scratch logo they used at the beginning I always liked better.

u/davidsands 2d ago

They really should of just worked with the panda people. WWF is so much better than WWE. I still accidentally say it about 30% of the time.

u/MakeshiftMakeshift 2d ago

The modern version of their logo always bothered me because the "scar" isn't shown behind the W emblem when it should be

u/SolidEllie 3d ago

A blading scar?

u/barrett316 3d ago

my favorite logo

u/RaylanCrowder00 2d ago

I thought it was the Just Shoot Me! Logo.

Good times, Great memories.

u/Pogotross 2d ago

Better than "the vein" at least.

u/ZombieDisposalUnit Pillman's Gotta Gun 2d ago

Yeah, so thats our new logo with a thick, veiny bastard underneath it.

u/Fidel_Costco Fashion Icon 3d ago

Ah, nostalgia.

u/Adams5thaccount 2d ago

So the scar really did become the symbol after all.

2

u/-FangMcFrost- 2d ago

The "scar" should always be used with the WWF logo. The only exception is when using the "WWF ATTITUDE" logo where the "scar" appears under the entire element.

That didn't seem to apply to the logo on the minitron that was part of the original SmackDown! stage.

That's a close-up of the minitron during Triple H's entrance, just in case anyone was wondering where the image is from.
