The logo of Yokohama’s Kanagawa prefecture is a penis.
Tokyo’s logo is a good gay companion to Yokohama’s logo: The old Tokyo logo was a puckered anus…
After years of complaints from city workers who had puckered anus logos on their business cards and uniforms, Tokyo –which is a city and a prefecture– changed its logo in 1990 to a leaf of the Tokyo’s official tree, the gingko as well as a stylized “T” of Tokyo .

That may be “limp dick” on the logo of Town Art Co., LTD. Tokyo, but it’s a BIG limp dick!!
Do you see what I see in this logo?
