The most important thing in design is to make sure it doesn't look like a swastika or a dick.
@ADDiane or a swastika made with dicks
Slack has a new logo and 'it looks like a penis swastika'

When you're designing a corporate logo, it's probably best to avoid making it look like a Nazi symbol or a great big willy.

@theguy @ADDiane
To be fair, there's certain appeal in seeing the swastika as stylised circlejerk.
@ADDiane I don't see the problem with a nice schlong
@ADDiane You would take away the pleasure of mocking Jeff Bezos' giant sex-toy rocket? :(
@ADDiane Which makes me think that Slack must've done it intentionally.
@ADDiane
Is that like being sure your kid's initials don't spell something unfortunate?
@ADDiane Pt. 2,5 = 2 cl Rum nd you don't ll it forget
@ADDiane
And just like that, through the magic of interwebnets enlightening and improving humanity, the "๐Ÿšซ swadicka" and "๐Ÿšซ dickswaka" are created.
@ADDiane SDGR - swastika dick golden ratio. This needs a mnemonic phrase โ€œsweet doggies gone rogueโ€?
@ADDiane or a NY Times crossword puzzle
@ADDiane
Don't fret, my folks, it's a deep fake
@ADDiane
Shit. Back to the drawing board...
@ADDiane what about ๐Ÿ‘?
@ADDiane just to let you know. There were some very funny guys on twitter. More here. But you are the funniest woman Iโ€™ve seen yet. You really make me laugh.
@ADDiane ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ Pretty much!
@ADDiane Thank you for provoking a much needed gale of laughter!
@ADDiane it's incredible how many people do four years of school without learning this critically important lesson
@ADDiane Quite the design achievement though if you can make it look like both, no?
@ADDiane Denver Airport failed this test.
@NewYorkMinion ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@ADDiane Or, if youโ€™re really talented, a dick swastika
@ADDiane๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
@ADDiane Such Design will be absolutely UNdefined. !๐Ÿค”
@ADDiane Also that it still doesn't look like either of those when it's upside down, flipped right to left, colors reversed, etc etc
@ADDiane - For anybody devising or producing any piece of software, the first question you need to be asking once you have it functioning is โ€˜What systems do we have in place to *stop* people from making swastikas and dicks?โ€™ Because it is a fundamental unavoidable fact that itโ€™s one of the first things people will always try to do!
@ADDiane A close number two is โ€œdonโ€™t be a dickโ€, which I guess is also part of the first rule mentioned above.
@ADDiane that is such a precise description
@ADDiane I sure hope they teach this in art school

@ADDiane

Mabye let Amazon know about that one...

@ADDiane L0L. So true. A few years back my husband mentioned that the Amazon logo looks like a penis and now I can never get that out of my head.

@ADDiane

A lesson in pubic service announcements from the previous Australian Government.

48 hours later... the โ€˜womenโ€™s networkโ€™ logo has been taken down

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet revealed its new โ€œWomenโ€™s Networkโ€ logo, and then the controversial emblem was taken down.

@ADDiane one day I was playing d&d with a home made map and one of my players started pointing out all the peninsulas and other geographic features that seemed somewhat phallic to them.

I was devastated, but I still use the map.

@ADDiane true, -it is not hard

@ADDiane Or goatse. Unfortunately, too many designers fail to avoid making things look like goatse.

(For those of you who don't know goatse, do NOT look it up. I promise you don't want this image in your head and you do not want to see it reflected in so many product designs and logos.)

@ADDiane those are important but I think there's also a third rule, which is make sure your font doesn't make words look like "cunt".

@ADDiane
In fact before 1933 the swastika was an ancient symbol symbolizing amongst other things happiness.
And what is wrong with the fertility symbol that the erect penis stands for?

;)

@ADDiane A good method to live by, but looking at every monument ever, I kinda feel like this only half true

@ADDiane

What about a swasdika?

@ADDiane
Under our former Australian government some people came up with this. ๐Ÿค”

@ADDiane or a butt hole...

Black Tomato was a local restaurant...

I could never NOT side eye that logo...
