        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!

      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.

      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?

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

      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.

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

            different vowel sounds (short A like “father” versus long O like “oat”)

            different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)

                Close enough, though “doors” is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.

          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.

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