16 Times People Thought Famous Logos Were Something Different

Here’s 16 Times People Thought Famous Logos Were Something Different

We’ve all been the victim of misheard song lyrics at one point, but mistaken logos is a thing as well. Growing up I was very confused by why Major League Baseball’s logo was a duck. I don’t even want to admit how old I was until I realized that it wasn’t, but I will tell you that I had access to the internet by then and that by no means was the case of my entire childhood.

I was even more embarrassed when I was told that the logo is not only a person at bat, but very likely former Minnesota Twins’ great Harmon Killebrew. (Though this is apparently not true).

Here’s 16 Times People Thought Famous Logos Were Something That They Weren’t

1. I mean, come on… just look at it and tell me I’m wrong.

Everything about this screams duck. The beak is faced to the right with its mouth open, it’s just casually floating around. The tail was a little confusing to me but who was I to question the MLB? Still don’t see it? Maybe the visual below will help.

See? That is a duck. A full-on, floating around, D-U-C-K DUCK. It’s right ducking there. But what I learned was there are a ton of people who have mistaken logos or pictures. Below are some of my favorite.

2. One of the funniest mistaken logos is the KFC man’s head-to-body ratio

My wife just confessed that for her entire childhood she thought Colonel Sanders’ bow tie was his whole body and now I can’t stop seeing a tiny stick body every time I look at him. pic.twitter.com/qVad6t93SA
