AS for the overlapping edits, it is because this just showed up in my RSS reader. I was surprised to see that there wasn't anything written yet. 172.68.206.92 18:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

  • If Randall was willing to realign the Audi logo, I think he could have stretched the model to accommodate Disney at the 3-ring slot! jameslucas (" " / +) 18:58, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Audi's logo has the four circles in a straight line, not staggered (</pedant>) 108.162.237.58 19:09, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
    • The same is true for MasterCard - the two circles are not staggered, but "in a straight line" (horizontal, that is) Mathmannix (talk) 20:15, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

ER are shared by both halves of the MC logo. Not AR. Anyone have another explanation? 172.68.132.41

  • I was thinking about this too! Maybe Randall made a mistake, or is it something unexplained? We'll have to wait for an explanation.
(Why are we (y'all) bullet-indenting?) Though the circles of the "(MAST(ER)CARD)" might well co-share the "ER", assuming that's correct, here the set {M A S T E R} and the set {C A R D} have clearly been put through an (unordered) set-union to highlight the {A R} that are not solely members of either original set. Don't know why that, in particular. Maybe it just worked better, and mixed things up better than the "(MAST(ER)CARD)" interpretation which doesn't really parody anything in the process... 162.158.158.97 20:53, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
