I’m absolutely dying from the latest trend on Japanese twitter.

Here are the final five designs being considered for the #Expo2025 official logo.

#万博 #万博ロゴマーク発表 #大阪万博
The final selection was revealed yesterday, and while in my opinion it's amazingly terrible, it's also terribly amazing. https://twitter.com/expo2025japan/status/1298155058987536384
This has led to it quickly becoming viral, with all sorts of wonderful creations. This thread will consist of some of the best (or perhaps worst) I've seen so far.

Prepare yourselves for the wild ride!
My first time seeing the logo, I immediately saw this thing as some sort of nightmarish creature with many eyes.

It seems others have had similar thoughts, as seen in this terrifying fleshy 3D render.

Translation:
"Ki... kill me..." https://twitter.com/f8iso100/status/1298211162224578561
Here they are as "Brilliance of Life" in Bloodborne. https://twitter.com/gino_h/status/1298287473928200194
Or as an enemy in SEGA's Kemono Friends game. https://twitter.com/mo_cha_chi/status/1298198506809593864
Not stopping there, we've got a familiar logo for many of you who deal with all things 3D. https://twitter.com/hadkimi_/status/1298172970020397056
As well as an assortment of different @VRChat avatars.
Departing the terrifying world of a ring of flesh and eyes, we move into the delicious world of food.

Takoyaki this time. https://twitter.com/MessageWebMusic/status/1298229046354927618
As well as bread, https://twitter.com/kentamatsunaga/status/1298452594705068034
pancake art, https://twitter.com/Fall_Equinox/status/1298297122198941696
and even 3D Printed cookie molds! https://twitter.com/Nirone7C2C/status/1298379773870133249
Speaking of food, there seems to be a strong resemblance to Guarana fruit.

(TIL what guarana looks like) https://twitter.com/kounosu_stds/status/1298171503045877760
It's such a simple design it can even be made in Excel. https://twitter.com/Maruraba_2/status/1298251549320179712
Or if you're after something more immersive, there's an #ARKit model you can use to bring it to life in your own home. https://twitter.com/kskee/status/1298423823138607105
So this very scene, could become a reality. https://twitter.com/Hiro18709310/status/1298204215358046210
What does this strange creature sound like you wonder? Well wonder no more!

Its strange cry is said to grant eternal life to all those who hear it. https://twitter.com/quwa_penny_rot/status/1298471704633606144
And, to wrap this thread up for the night, of course it's been anthropomorphized. https://twitter.com/haru2_momo/status/1298281591475560448
