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.
How do the rectangular lights have more snow than round ones?
Oh the $1000 Optimus keyboard.
Yesh. Vaporware really
They built a few. They were more conceptual art than consumer electronics.
IIRC this piece was done not by Artemy, but by one of his designers: Egor Zhgun
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.
Spartan Golf Club:
That really is exceptional.
That is the proper term.
I rarely see terms this clean
The out-of-focus background is too familiar to anyone suspicious of AI-generated crapola.
This may as well be the actual photo:
Wonder what country spells it "raman"
It's in Budapest, Hungary https://maps.app.goo.gl/chH8UF46pGhS4PFu8
... And it's also ramen in Hungarian : ). I have absolutely no clue how that 'raman' got there.
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.
Too late wife dm'd
Damnit!
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
It is. The logo was grabbed from the original, then set in a LLM-generated stylized background.
Design itself seems to be pretty old but I can't say the same for the image in the Twitter post. The text next to it is supposed to say RAMAN but it's jumbled in OP's post.

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
show this to your wife right before she leaves for work and she'll make bird noises at and peck her coworkers with chopsticks. not you.
This is indeed a great logo, but why is it an ai image and a Twitter comment? Those are the two worst aspects of tech right now.
Is it supposed to be 麺 (noodles)? Because that current character means face.
When I was in Europe I saw tons of Japanese restaurants using hanzi instead of kanji or just random shit. I guess it's like how places in Japan tend to not spell check their English either.
Is shaggydesigns adding anything to this meme?
I too took some graphic design classes in college
There is a third undertone in this: cranes eat fish, so you might get served fish there.
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.
