        Me: An ATV for the beach, a Snow Mobile for the winter and a Jet-Ski just because they’re fun.

        Yamaha: Of course!

        Me: Oh, and you wouldn’t know where I could find a DVD player?

      I love how these logos often still reflect the initial small scale business, a Yamaha motorbike still features a trio of tuning forks for music. A Mitsubishi… anything… has the three propellor blades of a Zero fighter plane. I made that second one up but apparently it’s three Oak Leaves or Water Caltrops, a simple and enduring symbol.

        East-Asian megacorps are kind of on a different scale if you’re not used to it though

          There’s a reason that popular Cyberpunk looked to Japan for inspiration when it comes to end stage capitalism in a digitally connected world.

          The assumption was that these Japanese style megacorps would segregate and dominate the internet, in the way we’ve mostly seen tech-bro startups manage.

          Honestly I prefer the cruel indifference of the Cyberpunk musings on megacorp dystopia than what we’ve got.
