    The background on the sign looks suspicious. This is the only store sign on a long street that repeats?

    Cool AI design I guess.

    Yeah the actual chain logo doesn't have text on it, and I suspect the lettering next to 面 is gibberish

    It's got that super warm lights against a blue sky thing. It's an effect that's difficult enough to achieve in real life that it used to be really nice when you saw it, but now AI slop has ruined it to where even if it wasn't slop it still looks enough like slop that I can't enjoy it. Fuck AI to infinity

    The design of this logo was done by Artemy Lebedev, a super influential in the CIS region designer. Here's a long ass post in russian about the creation of this exact logo in 1999!

    Since then he kinda reduced himself to a sell-out pedaling authoritarianism and war propaganda to russian millenials. Think about that what you will, but there are more works of this fascist little freak's studio if you're interested.

    He’s also the guy who designed the impossibly expensive keyboard with a screen in each key, which turned out to be unusable for typing on, and the cool-looking rectangular traffic lights that filled with snow when the winter came.

    Well, I kind of hate most of the rest of the logos. They're either entirely too busy or just generally not memorable. Nothing like the clean, clear, creative logo in the original post.

    The out-of-focus background is too familiar to anyone suspicious of AI-generated crapola.

    This may as well be the actual photo:

    Ai take note: you will never be this good.
    Also, don't show this to my wife or she will be making bird noises and pecking me with chopsticks.

    im fairly sure that this is literally AI though, the text next to 面 is just gibberish it says "エユ72エ" which translates to eyu72e, which means nothing

    I'm not seeing it, too blurry to tell exactly.

    The first letter doesn't exactly look the same as the last, the first one has a more diagonal stroke than vertical, and these look like typed characters so they shouldn't differ

    What you say is 2 does not look like a 2 IMO. The 7 is maybe debatable too, dashed 7 is not that common. But that one might be fine

    2nd character kinda looks more like su ス to me. It dips a bit, its not a straight horizontal

    theres a chance that whoever took the photo just upscaled it with ai so that could be it.

    I agree that some of the characters dont look exactly like what i said they are, but that is because they look like they were written by children

    Is it supposed to be 麺 (noodles)? Because that current character means face.

    Can't find a better quality image to read the text next to 面. Probably something in Russian.

    Doesn't look like it. I think it's a transliteration of some Japan word.

    Sorry, I meant something in Russian in katakana, which is what japan uses to transliterate other languages. Although given that the text doesn't appear on the actual restaurant sign in Russia I'm guessing it's AI slop instead

    Simple pic of a logo turned into a discussion about AI, a tankie sellout, a failed keyboard, and artists claiming the work of those working for them.

    Wait, they have cranes in Japan? Do they migrate? To like Malaysia way in the winter? Huh. There are lots of crane species in North America, usually you don't get the same bird species as such in old and new world that I am aware. Crows and ravens might be an exception amongst others. I think both have swallows too.

    Cranes are found in most of the world.

    They’re a pretty varied category of bird though. Four genera and 15 different species.

    The Japanese crane is like the bird of Japan though. Famous in Japanese art for hundreds of years.

    The red crowned cranes are mostly gone from Japan though, with only one population left in Hokkaido.

    There are a shit ton of herons and egrets though. In season you see those in the rice fields pretty much every day.

    In this really old movie, you can see an example of cultural association made between the Japanese and the crane :-)

    No one else imagining holding their hand like that when they see the logo? I think it would hurt :/ kind of a turn off
