WORLD BOWL XIV LOGO

[gueman]

The brown ball looks like a cereal bowl. Maybe they are more creative than we think...nah! Oh and I googled Yello Strom and I don't speak German but it looks like a phone company, electric company and ISP. That's just based on the icons though. Google translated it from German to...German.

For the non-German speakers out there, the YelloStrom thing's even weirder if you know what they're saying.

First off: strom = "stream" or "current" (thus... Yellow Stream is possible. Go ahead, I thought it too.  )

Advertisement: yellow rollerblading pig/piggy bank skates up and smacks against a pane of glass.

"The stream can't come any closer to you."

"YelloStrom.  Yellow.  Good.  Convenient."

Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance...

I hate quoting myself, but I posted this earlier in the thread. All the answers ye seek are contained therein...

The yellow thing is a pig, representing a piggy bank. (?) I don't get that reference at all - maybe a stream of savings? Wacky German humor gets lost in translation.

EDIT: jpegregor's explanation [see below] is far better than mine. And my German is rusty. Thanks for the help. (Or "Danke" as the case may be...)

guys,

i really had to laugh out loud a couple of times, while i was reading this thread.

just to explain the golden shower logo.

it´s a german electrictity company and strom means power (electricity).

but anyway, i liked your version too.

well... i think, from now on, yello strom advertising won't be the same for me ;-)
