It's still Gisnep to me
I never questioned the y but always read it as a G
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"
I was so confused by this as a kid.
Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means "doesn't"
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!
Okay but the person you're replying to is probably talking about being confused by Gisnep, which has been around a lot longer than Gisnep+
I always thought the first symbol was some backwards cursive G and it's weird.
Gisney, pronounced "jizz knee"
I always thought the D was a G as the kid and kept wondering why the logo said "Gisney" if they were called Disney
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?

I Always thought Perkins was Jerkins
Y’all minding p’s and q’s while I was turning d’s to g’s.
Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me

I always thought it's spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.
I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.
🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol

I still call it Disnep out of spite, if you can't choose the right font you don't deserve to be called 'right'.
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).
Finally someone else 👋
Dammit now I can't unsee this
It took me 24 years to realize it didn't read Gisnep
You're welcome
It took me 10 years to realize that Disnep isnt a property of Disney
Disnep Lus
Could also be the small Greek letter “Phi” ϕ
Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.
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.
I internally go "Disnep" every time I see this to this very day!

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