To be honest seeing the logo where it appears small on the desktop site, I thought it was a top down view of a Bee with the hat being the head colour and the two eyes just being spots.

Wow, I feel dumb. I've been here for a year and never looked closely at the bee (old or new). Never noticed the cowboy hat!

[-] Gamers_mate@beehaw.org 15 points 4 months ago

omg I only saw the bee in the logo due to it being smaller on a pc screen and thought the hat was just part of the Bee.

The old logo made it more clear:

That logo looks cool like the little CowBee is saying this hive ain't big enough for the both of us. Though they would communicate it through dancing with that as the subtitles.

nice I didn't know there was an old version of the Beehaw site it feels very familiar.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Honestly I like that better

[-] Bougie_Birdie 14 points 4 months ago

I prefer to think of a regular size bee with a giant cowboy hat

[-] jarfil@beehaw.org 4 points 4 months ago

That sound like a regular hat, with a regular bee... hiding inside.

Ouch!

I always thought "beehaw" was a sound donkeys made. Somehow I never made the connection that it had anything to do with bees until now...

It has confused me, as I (And friends) pronounce it Bee Whore. It has made me look at bees in a new way. No shaming of bees, please.

Edit: Maybe this is to do with my British accent?

I mean, there's emojis like bee snuggle fox available bee snuggle fox emoji

[-] Gamers_mate@beehaw.org 11 points 4 months ago

Cute emoji though I am not sure if that is a Bee sized Fox or a Fox sized Bee.

[-] Lionir@beehaw.org 5 points 4 months ago

The answer is yes.

[-] Gamers_mate@beehaw.org 6 points 4 months ago

I think that is how most people pronounce it because Yee haw kind of sounds like yee whore. though it has a very different meaning.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 14 points 4 months ago

What? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where "claws" and "doors" rhyme?

[-] Gamers_mate@beehaw.org 5 points 4 months ago

Yes Claws and Doors rhymes in my accent.

In what accent does a W have an R sound? Australian?

[-] Kamirose@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.

[-] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 1 points 4 months ago

Ah, I thought that was largely an Appalachian thing. But I guess that isn't quite the same since I don't think "haw" sounds like "whore" down there.

[-] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Certain British accents (like a London accent) have an 'aw' in particular sound like 'or'. Not sure about Australian.

[-] TheDorkfromYork@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Never once.
