12. Around town

People get hungry. A university campus invariably has a large number of people. So it goes without saying that the immediate area around a college campus is a prime location to have restaurants. In the name of doing something fun with my time I decided I would evaluate the logos of some popular eateries near the University of Oregon.

Like poor, hungry zombies.

Cafe Yumm! - Regardless of the fact that I love the place, Cafe Yumm! does a great job of just being itself. Its  red and gold logo, depicting a steaming bowl of food, reflects the warm and inviting atmosphere that can be found inside the restaurant.

Bonus points for having a logo that's so happy.

Sy's New York Pizza - While the website and logo for Sy's may seem a little dated, I honestly think it matches the character one conjures up when thinking of New York pizza. Sy's has been in the same location since 1978, and it feels like the near permanent fixture that it is.

Ron's Island Grill - I like the food, but the sign for Ron's doesn't appeal to me in any way, although it is better than the website that appears to be a remnant from the late 90s.

I always get this weird feeling I'm going to
 run into Magnum, P.I. era Tom Selleck.

Yogurt Extreme - Of the three establishments near campus that serve frozen yogurt, this one stands out solely for the promises made by such a name. While there may be many toppings to choose from, all the word "extreme" does is remind me of the design choices seen on the inside.
