Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008Cute logo
Driving to work today, I saw a truck on the road with a cute logo. It was a shipping company, and the logo was a picture of a mother cat carrying a kitten in its mouth.

Their website shows a different logo on their trucks now, but this link may take you directly to it: http://www.victorek.fi/default.asp?docId=12886 or www.viktorek.fi - English - Moving Services - Moving Cases or Office Moves, and you see the logo on the blue cases/boxes, tho not very clearly. They seem to have a tuxedo kitty on a few other pics too (at least Moving Services/ household moves and moving instructions), so they're a cat friendly company... :) SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com > At least at some point, a Finnish shipping company called Viktor Ek used > that logo on their trucks.

In fact, since I remembered the name, I Googled it so I could find the logo online. And apparently the company is so well-known that there's a Wikipedia entry for them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_Transport A closer look at the logo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:KuronekoYamato.jpg Any Japanese speakers here? Does "Kuroneko" mean mother cat? (I know that "neko" is cat...) Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name.

(I know > that "neko" is cat...) Yes, kuro means "black". I really like the Victor Ek tuxedo logo too though. Look at these: http://www.victorek.fi/default.asp?docId=12431 http://akinoluna.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html It must be a culturally universal thing to associate transportation with momcats. > On Feb 13, 4:53?pm, bastXXXe...@sonic.net wrote: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:KuronekoYamato.jpg > > > > Any Japanese speakers here?

Look at these: > http://akinoluna.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html Pretty site! (Not just the Victor logo, but the whole site is nicely designed.) > It must be a culturally universal thing to associate transportation > with momcats. That's pretty much what momcats do. :) Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. > Driving to work today, I saw a truck on the road with a cute logo.

It's one of the largest shipping companies in Japan, based on all the logos we saw over there. SignatureVictor M.
