I never questioned the y but always read it as a G

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the "th" in "the", so I read it as "Thisney"

[-] codapine@lemm.ee 46 points 8 months ago

I was so confused by this as a kid.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means "doesn't"

[-] fastandcurious@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

We all were

Thanks for the shot of "where did your youth go, old man".

When I grew up it was borrowed VHS tapes of Disne(y/p). I was born with Disney on tape. I didn't see Disnep+ until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!

I always thought the first symbol was some backwards cursive G and it's weird.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

Gisney, pronounced "jizz knee"

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 21 points 8 months ago

I always thought the D was a G as the kid and kept wondering why the logo said "Gisney" if they were called Disney

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 months ago

I always thought the moon or circle at the start of Spielberg's amblin was an O and confused about how to read it. Oh-amblin? Om-blin?

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

After engineering me: Disne-phi

[-] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

I Always thought Perkins was Jerkins image

[-] hecklerundkochli@feddit.de 12 points 8 months ago

Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 months ago

I still call it Disnep out of spite, if you can't choose the right font you don't deserve to be called 'right'.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

It wasn't a specific font at the time, it's an artistic rendering of Walt Disney's autograph (which is actually easier to read than the original).

[-] Lilith_the_serpent@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol

[-] mr_satan@monyet.cc 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I always thought it's spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.

I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.

[-] syd@lemy.lol 8 points 8 months ago

Finally someone else 👋

It took me 10 years to realize that Disnep isnt a property of Disney

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

Dammit now I can't unsee this

[-] dafo@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

It took me 24 years to realize it didn't read Gisnep

You're welcome

[-] pheeef@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Could also be the small Greek letter “Phi” ϕ

[-] Zer0_F0x@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.

[-] tweeks@feddit.nl 6 points 8 months ago

And for the love of all that is sacred, that first letter is not a D. And I don't know what they smoked when creating it.

[-] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 4 points 8 months ago

I think it was Walt Disney's handwriting.

I internally go "Disnep" every time I see this to this very day!

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago
[-] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 3 points 8 months ago

I always read Disneq and I will never stop saying it like that in my head.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago
[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I always thought that D was weird. I see it as that thing in music sheets.
