Of figures, symbols and stores

If you are a shop owner, what would you use as a symbol to represent your business, store, products, or services.

Here at a fast food shop called Astroland on the Boardwalk at Coney Island, there erects on the roof a figure of a heavy set guy with a receding hair line or balding head holding a plate of something in front of a rocket. Interesting. Is the figure a representation of the owner? He has a big smile on his face.


Here is a bubble tea shop in Chinatown. Can someone explain to me what Homer Simpson has to do with bubble tea? Where are Matt Groening's copyrights lawyers? Well don't wake them up, I happen to like this figure and would like it to remain at this bubble tea shop.
