Crumpler
Got this picture a few days ago on my way back home. It’s a sticker at the back of the seat in front of me. I didn’t know what it was, but the first impression came into my mind after I saw it was a Chinese character - 粪 . You wonder what that means? Copy and check it out on Google.
I just found out it’s actually the logo of a clothes and bags brand - Crumpler . Hmmmm….two things I’m sure! 1) the logo designer is definitely not Chinese, nor can read Chinese characters. 2) they don’t have any intension to enter Chinese market. But if they do, maybe not with that logo.

I LOVE crumpler bags! Just got back from The Netherlands, where all the bicycle riders have them. Are they in the states?

Hahaha! Oh wow, I’ve seen that logo dozens of times, and I’ve never noticed! But now you mention it, they do look similar. I wouldn’t be suprised if it was a deliberate joke.
By the way, I noticed that you put this entry under “fun” … a pun on the Japanese pronounciation of this character?

You think so too?

I didn’t know about this brand until I saw the sticker and write this post. The only thing I learned from blog replies is that it’s a Australian brand, and it’s a good one.

Is that a compliment?

It took me a while to understand what you were to say. Haha, nice one! I wasn’t, but you made it a pun, haha! Fuuuuuun!

I think it most like a person.
Chinese characters are from hieroglyph..
