Playboy Bunny Decal

For the rabbit logo, the silhouette of the animal, its head, and individual elements (most often ears) are used. The exact choice depends on the brand concept and the associations that the logo should evoke. Creating characters is a popular option. Cute animals contribute to this: it is enough to simply develop a unique image and convey the necessary emotions. Brands also use a combination of text and symbols in the logo. For example, the silhouette of a bunny can be placed on one of the letters of the brand name.The rabbit is a symbol of shyness and humility, but also time, speed, virtue, longevity, fun, and pranks. In modern Western culture, the image of the rabbit evokes strong associations with the famous Easter character. In general, these animals are considered cute and kind. Therefore, a rabbit or bunny is an ideal image for a logo. You can choose it for different brands. If you analyze the market, you will see that many companies use such a logo: from bars to sports clubs, from pet stores to manufacturers of heating equipment. The rabbit logo is drawn in a color scheme in which light, basic tones prevail: white, pale gray, or pink. To avoid associations with well-known logos, brands either develop their own unique color or use the original color scheme. Given the trend, you can simplify the logo using thin lines and 1-2 base colors. This option looks good on any surface. In general, there are no restrictions; companies can design their logos in accordance with the corporate range of colors. The Irish-style American bar “Dead Rabbit” has quite an interesting logo. It corresponds to the name of the institution. The famous sports team Jack Rabbit has developed a separate character for the logo. This is a determined, striving-forward rabbit. Playboy has a White Rabbit logo that is recognized worldwide. This symbol has become decisive in the history of the magazine: It evokes a strong association with the brand. For many years, the logo of the Vaillant equipment manufacturer has been the symbol of a rabbit hatched from an egg.

“A Playmate is the woman featured in the magazine (representing a particular month) in a pictorial that includes the iconic ‘Centerfold,'” Playboy spokesperson Teri Thomerson told Business Insider. “Playmates occasionally appear in Bunny costumes for special events, but do not provide a service hospitality component.”

Years after the last original Playboy Club closed down and even after the death of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in 2017, the women who don the iconic Playboy Bunny outfits still draw fascination and curiosity.

Each Bunny is given a custom-fitted costume that includes a bodysuit, matching ears, collar and cuffs, a bow tie, cuff-links, a Bunny tail, a nameplate, stockings, and shoes.Some Playmates are only involved in a one-time appearance in the magazine as Playmate of the Month, Thomerson said, but “there are many Playmates who have remained involved for years, appearing in multiple pictorials and attending special Playboy events as brand ambassadors, oftentimes wearing the Bunny costume.”

Though it sounds a bit like gibberish, the phrase rabbit rabbit is a long-held superstition thought to bring about good luck. But it’s not to be uttered just any old random day. Rather, if you say it on the first day of the month before any other words come out of your mouth, then luck is thought to be coaxed your way. If you get your rabbits in, luck is yours for 30 days … or so goes the folklore.President Roosevelt also reportedly rabbited every month without fail. In 1935, The Nottingham Evening Post wrote: “Even Mr. Roosevelt, the President of the United States, has confessed to a friend that he says ‘Rabbits’ on the first of every month—and, what is more, he would not think of omitting the utterance on any account.” Is there any proof that saying “rabbit rabbit” will bring you 30 days of good luck? No, but like eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day or crossing your fingers, it also can’t hurt. So, write yourself a note, set a reminder, or do whatever you need to do to remember your rabbits … or don’t. The risk is yours! Though sometimes used interchangeably, rabbits and hares aren’t the same animals. While they’re closely related, rabbits are generally smaller and have shorter ears. Both belong to the family Leporidae, but hares make nests in the grass while rabbits make burrows.

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the phrase goes back to at least 1909, when a British periodical featured a girl who said “Rabbits!” on the first day of each month for good luck.As for the word hare, it isn’t related to the hair on your head as you might suspect. The word hare is a very old one in the English language. Developing from the Old English hara, hare is recorded before 900. The deeper roots of hare are Germanic in origin; compare the Danish word hare. Hare is related to the Dutch haas and German Hase. The Old English hasu meaning “gray,” may be connected to hare. So, while the phrase hare, hare may seem an obvious substitute, substitute it at your own risk. There’s a reason they’re saying it … and that reason may even convince you to start saying it too, if you haven’t already. Keep reading to find out why this saying may be your next morning mantra. There are a few twists on this tradition. Some people say rabbit three times, while others say the phrase white rabbit. Others put their own twist on it, like beloved comedian Gilda Radner, who reportedly used to say bunny, bunny on the first of each month to attract “laughter, love, and peace.”

What if you forget to rabbit? (Yes, we’re going to go ahead and use rabbit as a verb here.) Are you just out of luck? Nope, according to some, if you say “rabbit rabbit” backwards, you’re safe. So, if you ask for coffee before you remember rabbits, then tibbar, tibbar it is.Why not moose moose or dolphin dolphin? There’s no concrete answer here, but it may stem from the fact that back in BCE days, the Celts thought rabbits could communicate with spirits since they burrow underground. Also, a rabbit’s foot, especially the back-left one, has long been thought to be a good luck charm. In African-American folk spirituality, it was thought that rabbits’ feet would increase fertility since rabbits themselves are so fertile. But there were some rather eerie stipulations about those feet: the rabbit must be captured or killed in a cemetery, and the foot must be cut off on a certain day of the week under specific circumstances. Poor unlucky bunnies!

For insight into the word rabbit, we don’t have to look any further than New York’s Coney Island (aka Rabbit Island). You see, coney was what people called rabbits until about the 1700s. The word comes from the French word for rabbit, coniz (plural conil), which came from the Latin word cuniculus. Originally rabbit was only used to refer to a young coney, but over time it became the more popular term for all coneys.Some people believe you also must say hare or hare hare before you fall asleep at the end of the month to bring about the luck. Why not rabbit again—is that just splitting hairs?

Companies in the US and Canada may license the use of the logo after becoming certified by CCIC, thereby making a pledge that, as of the fixed cut-off date, they do not conduct or commission animal tests, and do not use any ingredient or formulation that is tested on animals. A one-time licensing fee, based on the company’s gross annual sales, is required for use of the Logo. Once approved, you will be given authorization to use the Leaping Bunny Logo on products, websites, social media, and much more!The Leaping Bunny Logo is the only internationally recognized symbol guaranteeing consumers that no new animal tests were used in the development of any product displaying it. The Logo can be seen on packaging, advertising, and websites for cosmetics and household products around the world.

Shoppers want it and they look for it. In a recent poll, respondents overwhelmingly stated that they are more likely to buy a product that indicated it was not tested on animals. More than 65% of people surveyed indicated they are more trusting of independent third-party seals of approval and logos when it comes to finding accurate cruelty-free claims. Verifiable claims are becoming increasingly necessary as more and more companies self-identify as “cruelty-free” without the assurances offered by the Leaping Bunny certification.Feet flicking: If your rabbit hops away and flicks its feet up aggressively, they are unhappy with the current situation or with whatever you just did to them, like trimming nails.

Yawning: Rabbits will stretch out their front feet and pull their head back, opening their mouth to yawn when they wake up or before they go to sleep like other animals.

Rabbit body language can be very subtle compared to a dog or cat. It is important to pay attention to your bunny and watch for these small changes in their posture and behavior.

Grooming: Rabbits are meticulous groomers and rub their paws on their faces and lick their fur to clean themselves. This normal relaxed behavior can show affection if your rabbit grooms you or another rabbit.Rabbits love to dig; they are burrowing animals by nature. You can provide them with plastic tubs or cardboard boxes filled with layers of hay, paper litter, or newspaper where they can safely dig and perform these natural behaviors. Your rabbit might try and dig up the carpet and ingest it, causing a foreign body, so it is important to provide them safe places where they can dig and block off any unsafe areas. Monitoring your rabbit outside their area in the full house is best to prevent any mishaps or hazards.

Rabbit’s teeth grow continuously, about 1/10th of an inch per week. They must chew course hay and other vegetation to wear down their teeth. Cardboard boxes, hay toys, and rabbit-safe wood are all great items to use to enrich your rabbit and keep their teeth nice, healthy, and worn down.Boxing (standing up on their hind legs): Rabbits standing on their hind legs with their front paws up, ears straight and pointed outwards are typically signs of aggression from fear.

Sprawling posture is when your rabbit is relaxed, their back legs are to one side, and their front feet are forward with the head up. This type of lounge means they are very comfortable and relaxed.

Hunched: A hunched posture indicates that your rabbit is in pain; where their back is very curved, they may be more up on their front paws. In addition, their eyes may be squinting in a grimace, ears back or flat and tightly folded, whiskers down, nose tip moves closer to their chin, and cheeks flatter. Your rabbit must be seen immediately by a veterinarian if they display these signs.Flopping: When your rabbit flops over and throws itself onto its side, they are relaxed and might be about to take a nap. This is a content, relaxed behavior.

Nudging: Rabbits nudge a person’s hand, foot, or pant leg if they want attention. They may also nudge your hand away if they are done with that attention.Teeth grinding/purring: When rabbits are content or happy, they lightly chatter or vibrate their teeth like they are purring. Their whiskers may vibrate as well. This behavior is not to be confused with bruxism or teeth grinding, indicating pain that is slower and louder.

When your rabbit gives you the butt and will not look at you, they are upset about something you did recently, like a nail trim. Give them time, treats, and space; they will come around and forgive you. Ear shaking: A rabbit shaking their head or ears can signal that they do not want to be handled or dislike a smell and are annoyed. This can also occur right before they settle down to eat or groom. Repetitive ear shaking could be a sign of an ear infection as well. Thumping: Rabbits will stomp their back legs to make a thump if they sense danger to warn other rabbits. They may also do this if they are upset with something going on to warn their owner or another animal to stop what they are doing.

Chapouthier G, ed. PLoS ONE. 2012;7(9):44437.An excellent way to tell if your rabbit likes you is if they interact with you, lick you, groom you, and request pets. Your rabbit is comfortable and feels safe around you if they lounge about and sprawl near you.

Masquerade (book) (1979), written and illustrated by the artist Kit Williams, is ostensibly a children’s book, but contains elaborate clues to the location of a jewelled golden hare, also made by Williams, which he had buried at the location in England to which the clues in the book led. The hare was not found until 1982, in what later emerged as dubious circumstances.In Italian Renaissance and Baroque art, rabbits are depicted more often than hares. In an allegory on lust by Pisanello, a naked woman lies on a couch with a rabbit at her feet. Pinturicchio’s scene of Susanna in the Bath is displayed in the Vatican’s Borgia Apartment. Here, each of the two old men are accompanied by a pair of hares or rabbits, clearly indicating wanton lust. In Piero di Cosimo’s painting of Venus and Mars, a cupid resting on Venus clings to a white rabbit for similar reasons.

The idea of rabbits as a symbol of vitality, rebirth and resurrection derives from antiquity. This explains their role in connection with Easter, the resurrection of Christ. The unusual presentation in Christian iconography of a Madonna with the Christ Child playing with a white rabbit in Titian’s Madonna of the Rabbit can thus be interpreted Christologically. Together with the basket of bread and wine, a symbol of the sacrificial death of Christ, the picture may be interpreted as the resurrection of Christ after death.The phenomenon of superfetation, where embryos from different menstrual cycles are present in the uterus, results in hares and rabbits being able to give birth seemingly without having been impregnated, which caused them to be seen as symbols of virginity. Rabbits also live underground, an echo of the tomb of Christ.

The Physiologus, a resource for medieval artists, states that when in danger the rabbit seeks safety by climbing high up rocky cliffs, but when running back down, because of its short front legs, it is quickly caught by its predators. Likewise, according to the teaching of St. Basil, men should seek his salvation in the rock of Christ, rather than descending to seek worldly things and falling into the hands of the devil. The negative view of the rabbit as an unclean animal, which derived from the Old Testament, always remained present for medieval artists and their patrons. Thus the rabbit can have a negative connotation of unbridled sexuality and lust or a positive meaning as a symbol of the steep path to salvation. Whether a representation of a hare in Medieval art represents man falling to his doom or striving for his eternal salvation is therefore open to interpretation, depending on context.Still lifes in Dutch Golden Age painting and their Flemish equivalents often included a moralizing element which was understood by their original viewers without assistance: fish and meat can allude to religious dietary precepts, fish indicating fasting while great piles of meat indicate voluptas carnis (lusts of the flesh), especially if lovers are also depicted. Rabbits and birds, perhaps in the company of carrots and other phallic symbols, were easily understood by contemporary viewers in the same sense.

As a symbol of fertility, white rabbits appear on a wing of the high altar in Freiburg Minster. They are playing at the feet of two pregnant women, Mary and Elizabeth. Martin Schongauer’s engraving Jesus after the Temptation (1470) shows nine (three times three) rabbits at the feet of Jesus Christ, which can be seen as a sign of extreme vitality. In contrast, the tiny squashed rabbits at the base of the columns in Jan van Eyck’s Rolin Madonna symbolize “Lust”, as part of a set of references in the painting to all the Seven Deadly Sins.

In Judaism, the rabbit is considered an unclean animal, because “though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof.” This led to derogatory statements in the Christian art of the Middle Ages, and to an ambiguous interpretation of the rabbit’s symbolism. The “shafan” in Hebrew has symbolic meaning. Although rabbits were a non-kosher animal in the Bible, positive symbolic connotations were sometimes noted, as for lions and eagles. 16th century German scholar Rabbi Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi, saw the rabbits as a symbol of the Diaspora. In any case, a three hares motif was a prominent part of many Synagogues.Hunting scenes in the sacred context can be understood as the pursuit of good through evil. In the Romanesque sculpture (c. 1135) in the Königslutter imperial Cathedral, a hare pursued by a hunter symbolises the human soul seeking to escape persecution by the devil. Another painting, Hares Catch the Hunters, shows the triumph of good over evil. Alternatively, when an eagle pursues the hare, the eagle can be seen as symbolizing Christ and the hare, uncleanliness and the evil’s terror in the face of the light.

As small animals with fur, hares and rabbits allowed the artist to showcase his ability in painting this difficult material. Dead hares appear in the works of the earliest painter of still life collections of foodstuffs in a kitchen setting, Frans Snyders, and remain a common feature, very often sprawling hung up by a rear leg, in the works of Jan Fyt, Adriaen van Utrecht and many other specialists in the genre. By the end of the 17th century, the grander subgenre of the hunting trophy still life appeared, now set outdoors, as though at the back door of a palace or hunting lodge. Hares (but rarely rabbits) continued to feature in the works of the Dutch and Flemish originators of the genre, and later French painters like Jean-Baptiste Oudry.In Classical Antiquity, the hare, because it was prized as a hunting quarry, was seen as the epitome of the hunted creature that could survive only by prolific breeding. Herodotus, Aristotle, Pliny and Claudius Aelianus all described the rabbit as one of the most fertile of animals. It thus became a symbol of vitality, sexual desire and fertility. The hare served as an attribute of Aphrodite and as a gift between lovers. In late antiquity it was used as a symbol of good luck and in connection with ancient burial traditions.

The children’s tales of the English author Beatrix Potter, illustrated by herself, include several titles featuring the badly behaved Peter Rabbit and other rabbit characters, including her first and most successful book The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), followed by The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904), and The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies (1909). Potter’s anthropomorphic clothed rabbits are probably the most familiar artistic rabbits in the English-speaking world, no doubt influenced by illustrations by John Tenniel of the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.In non-religious art of the modern era, the rabbit appears in the same context as in antiquity: as prey for the hunter, or representing spring or autumn, as well as an attribute of Venus and a symbol of physical love. In cycles of the Labours of the Months, rabbits frequently appear in the spring months. In Francesco del Cossa’s painting of April in the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Italy, Venus’ children, surrounded by a flock of white rabbits, symbolize love and fertility.

Probably one of the most famous depictions of an animal in the history of European art is the painting Young Hare by Albrecht Dürer, completed in 1502 and now preserved in the Albertina in Vienna. Dürer’s watercolor is seen in the context of his other nature studies, such as his almost equally famous Meadow or his Bird Wings. He chose to paint these in watercolor or gouache, striving for the highest possible precision and “realistic” representation.In Christian iconography, the hare is an attribute of Saint Martin of Tours and Saint Alberto di Siena, because legend has it that both protected hares from persecution by dogs and hunters. They are also an attribute of the patron saint of Spanish hunters, Olegarius of Barcelona. White hares and rabbits were sometimes the symbols of chastity and purity.

Joseph Beuys, who always finds a place for a rabbit in his works, sees it as symbolizing resurrection. In the context of his action “How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare”, he stated that the rabbit “…has a direct relationship to birth… For me, the rabbit is the symbol of incarnation. Because the rabbit shows in reality what man can only show in his thoughts. He buries himself, he buries himself in a depression. He incarnates himself in the earth, and that alone is important.” Rabbits and hares (Leporidae) are common motifs in the visual arts, with variable mythological and artistic meanings in different cultures. The rabbit as well as the hare have been associated with moon deities and may signify rebirth or resurrection. They may also be symbols of fertility or sensuality, and they appear in depictions of hunting and spring scenes in the Labours of the Months. The Hasenfenster (hare windows) in Paderborn Cathedral and in the Muotathal Monastery in Switzerland, in which three hares are depicted with only three ears between them, forming a triangle, can be seen as a symbol of the Trinity, and probably go back to an old symbol for the passage of time. Though they have six ears, the three hares shown in Albrecht Dürer’s woodcut, The Holy Family with Three Hares (1497), can also be seen as a symbol of the Trinity.Since early 2000, Ottmar Hörl has created several works based on Dürer’s Hare, including a giant pink version. Sigmar Polke has also engaged with the hare on paper or textiles, or as part of his installations, and even in rubber band form. Dieter Roth’s Köttelkarnikel (“Turd Bunny”) is a copy of Dürer’s Hare made from rabbit droppings, and Klaus Staeck enclosed one in a little wooden box, with a cutout hole, so that it could look out and breathe. Dürer’s Hare has even inspired a depiction of the mythological Wolpertinger.Many companies take advantage of this as well and use the Rabbit Face emoji 🐰 to promote rabbit-shaped decorations and Easter candy. As is the case with the Rabbit emoji 🐇, the Rabbit Face emoji 🐰 is also often used to refer to real and fictional rabbits and bunnies, such as Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes.I’m a day late, but Happy Birthday to the king of cartoon comedy. 🐰🥕 #bugsbunny #warnerbros #bugsbunny80thanniversary #whatsupdoc pic.twitter.com/WpkAqWzhFB

The Rabbit Face emoji 🐰 was approved under Unicode 6.0 in 2010. On all major platforms, the emoji resembles the face of a rabbit facing toward the viewer. On most platforms, the emoji resembles a stylized drawing of a rabbit’s face with buck teeth and white or grey fur. The Twitter version of the emoji lacks whiskers, and the Facebook version has tiny teeth.

This is not meant to be a formal definition of 🐰 Rabbit Face emoji like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of 🐰 Rabbit Face emoji that will help our users expand their word mastery.🐰 Happy Easter, Peanuts fans! Don’t forget to thank the Easter Beagle for those festive eggs. 😉 This Peanuts strip was first published on April 4, 1973.⁠ pic.twitter.com/GyD4N0M415

The Rabbit Face emoji 🐰 depicts the face of a rabbit facing straight ahead. It is commonly used to represent real and fictional rabbits and bunnies, spring, and Easter. The Rabbit Face emoji 🐰 increases in use in the weeks leading up to Easter, which is a movable holiday commemorated each spring. During this time, it is often used alongside the Rabbit emoji 🐇 and accompanied by the hashtag #Easter. In 2021, Easter falls on April 4. The Rabbit Face emoji 🐰 and Rabbit emoji 🐇 are commonly used leading up to and during Easter. Rabbits and bunnies are often associated with Easter, both because it occurs during the spring and because of the Easter Bunny, a legendary bunny who hides Easter eggs for children to find. The Easter bunny is based on a German holiday tradition brought to the US by immigrants, and it’s believed that the short gestation period and reproductive speed of rabbits led to a cultural association with spring (when they mate) and fertility. Hugh Hefner put together the first issue of Playboy in his home and published it in December 1953 using a nude photo of Marylin Monroe that he had purchased the rights to. The magazine was a near-instant success.

The Playboy logo is one of the most iconic logos in the world, recognizable everywhere as a symbol of prestige, sexiness, and a little bit of mystique. How exactly, though, did the world’s most premier adult magazine end up choosing a rabbit in a bow-tie as their logo? For that matter, how did the world’s most famous playboy, Hugh Hefner, end up starting the magazine to begin with? Turns out, it’s a fascinating story.The Playboy Mansion is located In Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California, near Beverly Hills, the mansion became famous during the 1960s when the media began to cover the lavish parties thrown by Hefner.A big part of the first edition’s success is no doubt attributable to Playboy’s very first cover girl, Marylin Monroe. Interestingly enough, though, Monroe never actually signed a contract to appear in the magazine.

As history now shows, though, the first edition of Playboy was published at the perfect time, and Hugh Hefner was able to both ride and help usher in a wave of sexual liberation that would make Playboy one of the most successful publications of all time.

However, Western Lithograph Company stilled owned the rights to the photos that Monroe had taken in 1949, and Hugh Hefner purchased the rights to those photos for $500. The photos were used as the first edition’s centerfold, and Marylin Monroe was named “Sweetheart of the Month”.At an early age, Hugh Hefner demonstrated an exceptional IQ of 152, but his genius-level intelligence only translated into modest academic success. It wasn’t until Hefner shifted into writing and journalism that he began to excel.

Hugh Hefner lived out his final days in the Playboy Mansion before passing away on September 27, 2017, at the age of 91, and on September 30, he was laid to rest next to Marylin Monroe in the Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California.Next to Bugs Bunny, the Playboy bunny may very well be the world’s most famous rabbit, and the impact that the logo has made on the magazine’s success is nothing short of substantial. It’s a classic logo with a great history and is certainly one whose effectiveness is worth imitating.

Throughout the history of the Playboy logo, the iconic rabbit has enjoyed a large degree of popularity. For one, the image has been featured on every cover of the Playboy magazines that have been published. While you might not notice the logo on the first glance at any given Playboy magazine, it is indeed there. An ongoing joke for the Playboy staff was to hide the logo somewhere on the cover of each magazine, and it was a tradition that stuck.For the rest of his life, Hugh Hefner surrounded himself with beautiful women, eventually becoming somewhat infamous for marrying and divorcing women that were many years younger than he was. However, Hugh Hefner also used his wealth and platform to promote a number of charitable causes, including the restoration of classic films and donations to various cinema courses.

Hugh Hefner was born on April 9, 1926, in Chicago, Illinois. There, he was raised along with his younger brother by his parents Glenn and Grace Hefner, who were reportedly fairly strict Methodists.Less than a year later, though, Marylin Monroe’s acting career took off after she appeared in the films “Asphalt Jungle” and “All About Eve”. By 1953, Monroe was one of the most famous actresses in all of Hollywood.Not limited to a for-profit enterprise, the Playboy logo made its mark on charitable causes as well. In the annual “Rock the Rabbit” music news feature, fashion designers would create t-shirts for famous bands based on the logo. The bands were then photographed wearing their specific t-shirts, and these photos were featured in the magazine’s March edition. After the issues were published, the t-shirts were sold at auction and the money was donated to AIDS at LIFEbeat: The Music Industry Fights AIDS.During the same time period that his magazine was taking off, though, Hugh Hefner was also plagued with problems at home, and he and his wife were divorced in 1959. A newly single man, Hugh Hefner began to adopt the lifestyle that Playboy was built around. Now in the public spotlight, his luxurious lifestyle and romantic pursuits became just as much a part of the magazine’s image as the publication itself.
