Or a deformed penis? Well?

I always took it as cowboys, ranching, beef, etc.
Makes sense to me.

Dunno, but I had this revelation not too long ago.

I dunno but I sure could go for a beef n cheddar smothered in arby's sauce. My kind of trash.

I always thought it was a whale. Could never understand why they didn't sell seafood.

Curly fries are on point.

Love that shit. Makes me fart in violation of the Geneva Convention, however.

In 1964, when the restaurant was first established, westerns were incredibly popular and the brand thought it was a good idea to incorporate it into their logo. The cowboy hat served as the base of the design and ended up carrying over into their redesigns.

Arby's

The chain's first logo resembled a cowboy hat and was then known as "Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich". Some locations still carry it on its signage, but has been gradually disappearing as many of its stores have renovated. The "cowboy hat" motif has been used by the company since its inception. In...

The reason for the iconic hat used as a part of the logo? As far as we’re aware, the hat shape didn’t have a deeper meaning. In 1964, when the restaurant was first established, westerns were incredibly popular and the brand thought it was a good idea to incorporate it into their logo. The cowboy hat served as the base of the design and ended up carrying over into their redesigns.

The Complete History Of The Arby’s Logo - Hatchwise

Arby’s fast-food chain may not be quite as famous as franchises like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, or Burger King but that doesn’t mean they haven’t built a legendary brand. Arby’s made its mark by offering the world an option other than burgers and chicken sandwiches by beginning to sell their famous...

Old Arby's signs were literally hats.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Duh. Boutique owners and roast beef. Name a more classic combo. Americana, undiluted.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I swear to God for the first 35 years of my life I saw it as a whale jumping out of the water.

...

I still think it's a whale jumping out of the water.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

For cowboy?

Because I guess they prepare meat, hamburgers, like cowboys... That's why the hat.

Don't say meat it sounds dirty

Those roast beef sandwiches do remind me of something peculiar..

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Everytime I hear Arby’s, I hear all the jokes Jon Stewart made about it.

 

[wondermega]

Screw all you guys I liked Arby's, I regret moving away from one!

Looks more like a condom.

Because this is YEEEHAAAAW 'MURICA, SON!

Ive never eaten Arbys in my life. Am I missing anything?

once in awhile nothing hits like a Roast beef sandwich with Horesy sauce

They're decent for fast food but like all fast food, it's not great. You can get the same effect at home but at a much higher quality.

 

[Sub_Level]

Arbys has a lot of haters for some reason but I love the stuff. Could eat their roast beef sandwiches every day.

 

[Dev1lXYZ]

When I was a kid, Arby’s was the king of baked potatoes. I always thought it had something to do with that.

If you want fast food that's not a burger it's ok. They have reubens, gyros and roast beef sandwiches obviously not nearly as good as a deli.

It's a cowboy hat, cowboys raise cows. What's the mystery

The mystery is that some people see a whale…. How is that even possible?

Its pretty good.

This thread is reminding me how effective subliminal messaging and logo design is.

Just the brief fixation on the logo has a few people including myself considering eating some Arby's

 

[AJUMP23]

Who doesn't like a roast beef and cheddar.

 

[Dacvak]

This is the most thought I’ve given about Arby’s in 30 years. I kind of forgot they were even a thing.

That being said, the beef and cheddar slaps.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Its actually a plate with a pile of roast beef on it.

 

[Delt31]

This can’t be a serious question with an answer so obvious…
