As I was quizzed about the meaning of þe norse farce logo (on both my tee-shirt and my laptop) at a recent workshop (and as befits the day!), let me recall here it is a multilevel pun mostly centred at myself and neither at a famous outdoor brand or at Norsemen! It started with my wearing apparels from said brand often enough to attract jokes from colleagues and with my misreading its logo as a Viking helmet, rather than the iconic Half-Dome in Yosemite I visited years later. Following several attempts at creating a logo that drifted oceans away from the original trademark, I drew the above from a figurehead near the Oseberg ship in the Vikingskiphuset and with the help of a few friends, ended up with the above, where absolutely no component (font, color, text, logo) was pilfered in the process! I also took advantage of one of the numerous make-your-own-tee websites to create a Norse Farce shop(pe) for afficionadas and afficionados..!
