What's up with the D in Disney?🐁

Honestly, thought I was the only one that couldn't read the "D" in Disney properly. I'm happy that so many people on this Threads thread are sharing a similar revelation.

Yes, it's a great, stylized letter, but damned if I'd been confused about that word mark for nearly my entire life. I think this goes to show that, a memorable visual logo can trump a clear, readable one.

Though I do wonder if anyone has ever pitched updating it to something like Helvetica or Futura to modernize it. And I also wonder how quickly they were kicked out of the magic kingdom for such a grave insult.

The “D” in Disney always looked like a “G” to me and I’ve never been able to unsee it

Same. I was WAY OLDER than I’d like to admit when I realized it was a D.

Me too! Not until I was like 15 did I realize it was actually supposed to be a D 😅

I know it’s a D…. But my brain always says G
