I have seen the bullseye logo on Ed and his guitar case, and wondered what they signified, but now the sticker on his guitar case at the WM3 benefit has mickey mouse ears? Did anyone else notice that? And what do they mean?

Thanks!

    I always assumed the 'bullseye' logo was a nod to The Who, since this was a widely recognised symbol of Mod culture (although it was originally used by the Royal Air Force I believe).

    As for the Mickey Mouse ears....beats me!

    The bullseye logo is the symbol for the RAF (Royal Air Force) and is used by The Who (think it's called the roundel) ... as for the Mickey ears ... who knows :P

    EDIT: Jinx :lol:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Yeah, I think it's a Who logo with a twist!

    I thought Ed looked a bit like a travelling troubadour with that guitar case - as though it was carrying his lifetime's treasured possessions.....

    It made me think of soccer players who tap their crucifix before taking an important penalty kick. I reckon Ed touches his Mickey Mouse Who logo...!
