Banana Coke


In Bangla, each spoken vowel 'belongs' to the consonant before it - i.e. this is Ko-Ka _ Ko-La.
But in the script, the vowel can follow, precede, be under or even bracket its consonant. In this case the 'O' vowel has an ে before and an া after the consonant ক (k), making েকা (ko).  Can you see the great swooping curve they made of the ে in each word?
Pretty clever use of grammatically correct Bangla to make a recognizable logo.  Maybe I'm just punchy, but it's also funny because because Kola means Banana, so I see this and think, "Banana-Coke!".
