I never questioned the y but always read it as a G

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the "th" in "the", so I read it as "Thisney"

I was so confused by this as a kid.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means "doesn't"

We all were

Thanks for the shot of "where did your youth go, old man".

When I grew up it was borrowed VHS tapes of Disne(y/p). I was born with Disney on tape. I didn't see Disnep+ until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

I always thought the first symbol was some backwards cursive G and it's weird.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Gisney, pronounced "jizz knee"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I always thought the D was a G as the kid and kept wondering why the logo said "Gisney" if they were called Disney

I always thought the moon or circle at the start of Spielberg's amblin was an O and confused about how to read it. Oh-amblin? Om-blin?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

I Always thought Perkins was Jerkins image

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me

Y’all minding p’s and q’s while I was turning d’s to g’s.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I always thought it's spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.

I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Finally someone else 👋

I still call it Disnep out of spite, if you can't choose the right font you don't deserve to be called 'right'.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

It wasn't a specific font at the time, it's an artistic rendering of Walt Disney's autograph (which is actually easier to read than the original).

Dammit now I can't unsee this

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

It took me 24 years to realize it didn't read Gisnep

You're welcome

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

It took me 10 years to realize that Disnep isnt a property of Disney

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Could also be the small Greek letter “Phi” ϕ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And for the love of all that is sacred, that first letter is not a D. And I don't know what they smoked when creating it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think it was Walt Disney's handwriting.

I internally go "Disnep" every time I see this to this very day!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I always read Disneq and I will never stop saying it like that in my head.
