View Full Version : "Chiji's" restaurant: why does the L look like a J joined to the H?

You know, I just went to a Chili's restaurant the other day, and when I look at the logo, the L is joined with the H; thus, it would appear as if the restaurant's name was "Chiji's" instead of "Chili's." An alternate logo displays the image of a chili pepper with an S next to it, so I know the restaurant's name is "Chili's," but I still don't get why the L is joined with the H, because it looks more like a J. Can anyone explain to me why this is?

Their volcano cakes are delicious! I might go there for my birthday. Trying to decide between it and Red Lobster.

Advertisement tries to make logos look as delicious as possible for food joints. When I look at the logo, I think of a big long jalapeno pepper where the L is conjoined with the H. Yum.

Oh, then maybe that's it... thanks, Rye. (Although they still could've just put a chili pepper as an apostrophe.)

Their food is pretty good. I like their ribs and, of course, their chili.

When you said big long jalapeno pepper I thought of a penis :confused:

The American dollar has Illuminati symbols in it! Maybe Chili's is part of the conspiracy.

Not knowing what Chili's was, I had to google image it. Here's the logo in case there are other people like me.

Yeah, that looks funny. Doesn't look like it's there for any good reason. But the chilli apostrophe is very clever. xD

It makes it look like a smiley face.

if that's so, it's not nearly as effective as the amazon logo

this is an even bigger scandal than the <a href=http://www.crwflags.com/FOTW/images/k/kr~hanji.gif>Hanjin logo</a>.

Assuming that the dominant consonants of H and J are supposed to represented in that logo... someone can really trip out over where the J is/is not.... or ARE.

I like my food like I like my men.

Dark and spicy. Chili's has only one of those filled, but good enough.

I see it and I read Chili's. It's hard to see the J when looking at the word itself. :/

Chili's = Cheap first date. :>

This is the alternate logo of the restaurant, a larger chili pepper with an S next to it:

I still don't get why they decided to make the L conjointed to the H, because it reads "Chiji's." I guess I'll ask them next time I go to the restaurant...

There's a bear in the Toblerone mountain.

I didn't see any bear on the Toblerone mountain... it's hidden in there, but perhaps if the logo was larger, maybe I would...

The bear looks like it is dancing.

And congratulations, if you search for "Chiji's" on Google this thread is the fourth result. :)

And due to the amazingly high 1,060 total results, I'm sure it's searched for all the time. :p

There's a store that sells different kind of nuts called the Nutshack. The way their sign is printed, you can't see the H. Heheheh.

Also some movie store with a big FLICKS on it. The L and I look joined. Heheheh.

We have a restaurant here called Ninfa's, but the font they use on the sign makes it look like Ninja's, which is a much cooler restaurant name anyway.

Yay!

And I see the Toblerone image now. But I think it should be larger, because bears don't take that kind of shape it does in the mountain (unless of course it's anthropomorphic).
