This was intended to represent a 'Classic' arcade game (Saag Paneer is the traditional preparation), not as a comment on physical activity. My apologies for any offense caused, and I'm happy to take suggestions for a new illustration. Email me at soham@pashi.com if you'd like to talk further.
- xwdv 7y agoThe other images are comments on physical activity though, so it’s not hard to see how an image of a video gamer is also a comment on the physical activity of those who eat Saag Paneer. If you are going for a classic vibe, then just have an Indian man in classic Indian clothing doing something classically Indian, or just stirring a pot or something. An arcade machine is not an association readily made with food.
- big_chungus 7y agoIn fairness to you, I wouldn't really call this "offensive". It does possibly play into the "fat, game-addicted neckbeard" stereotype, but this is more likely a case of a startup not having the resources to do extensive testing on different imagery. You could try running some a/b tests with different logos, though, and measure your conversion.
- Semiapies 7y agoI like the current image I'm seeing, with a thinner person playing the arcade game.
