Comment

The idea of the bull horn on the logo was derived from the initial letter of Yoshinoya's English name, "Y". The rope surrounding the horn represents a in Japanese sumo-wrestling, "Yokozuna" (equivalent to "winner"), representing the quality of the food served in Yoshinoya. The logo as a whole is meant to suggest that Yoshinoya sells the "best beef bowls".
