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

  1. #1

    Default "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?
    Is that your final answer?

    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.
    Is that your final answer?

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

    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

    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. :>
