I’m sure The Hateful Eight is going to be a solid flick…

But I can’t not hear the similarities in sound between “Hateful Eight” and “Chick-Fil-A.” And when an idea like that permeates my brain, there is absolutely nothing in the world that can stop the need to illustrate what I think.

Sure, it’s shoddy and sucks (mostly) on account of me using the brush tool in Illustrator with a mouse, instead of a tablet, but it gets my point across. My favorite part of making a spoof logo of Chick-Fil-A, is finding out where and how to integrate the eyes, beak and comb into any letter that isn’t a C.

But here we have it, an illustration of what goes through my head whenever I repeatedly hear the title The Hateful Eight.

Coincidentally, it’s not far off from the unofficial nickname I gave the franchise in light of the Truett Cathy hates gay people revelation a little while back, that made a lot of people except for me, boycott eating at the franchise for a little while. And since I had already started with one spoof, might as well fulfill the other. Frankly, it’s close enough to “Hate-Fil-A” to work with the movie title spoof too.

Honestly, I think I’m more amused about how much more of a stretch it was to integrate the eye-beak-comb into a capital H brushstroke than it was to a capital E, and I think I like this one more.
