Stadtfest Ba-
den,
logo is so bad, it’s
good. And it’s everywhere. On bus wraps. On billboards. On the
festival plakat that the Frau will probably be forced into buying just for going out
her front door. Even the shops in Baden are getting into the action, arranging
the logo in the proper
Stadtfest Ba-
arrangement on their windows. Yes. With
the comma and the bad word break and everything. It’s almost too much fun for the
Frau to handle. And you know the Frau. Would she ever be sarcastic?
In case you can't tell, the Frau isn't overjoyed for this Fest. She learned from experience that a 10-day
festival in Baden will make her completely sleep deprived and overly anxious to
never hear a collective drunk scream at 5 a.m. or a Swiss-German rapper played at ear-defending decibels again.
Ja, die Frau hat Erfahrung. She lived through another one of Baden’s 10-day
festivals in 2007. It was called Badenfahrt and it taught her that even Swiss buildings
made with 100% concrete can shake when placed next to a rock and pop stage
featuring, you guessed it, Swiss German rappers.
Anyway, Badenfahrt had
a better logo but a much more unfortunate name. Not that the Swiss minded. In
fact, they actually sold T-shirts with Baden on one side and Fahrt on the back.
The Frau now regrets not buying one so she’ll most likely be ponying up the CHF
40 for her plakat featuring the
worst logo she has ever seen just for the novelty of actually owning such a
souvenir.
Are you coming to Stadtfest
Ba-
den,?

Umm... Not real-

Hilarious! But, you know Chantal, with the logo, I think we must be missing the point somehow. But, try as I may, I still don't get it. Maybe someone will enlighten us, please??? Have just been googling Stadtfest Baden Logo, but cannot find out why it is as it is.
Hmm. Have you bought your earplugs?

Let's just say this: the $300 BOSE noise-cancellling headphones I bought a year ago are the best investment ever for a life in a Swiss city!
Badenfahrt is only every 10 years (since 1937). This is the "smaller" version in between. Can't really take the rest of your criticism seriously if you still find it funny when something written in German looks a bit like "fart"...
Hi Michael,
Yes, I realize Badenfahrt is only every 10 years (and thank goodness for that!)
Pathetic about the "fahrt," isn't it? But yes, unfortunately the Frau isn't too serious all the time and some German words are endlessly hilarious to her (as I'm sure some English words are to German speakers).
So here's a callout to native German speakers: the Frau would love to hear what you find funny in English. It would make a great blog post sometime...
Cheers.
Too funny! But I'll pass on the noise and confusion
