Musical examples like this aggravate me to no end. It is not a typo, but its linguistic analogy would be Engrish. It is musical gibberish. The note stems are almost all facing the wrong direction, and while the notes are singable they do not form a meaningful "Melody," as this place of business is named. This is hardly the worst example I have seen of this sort of nonsense, which begs the simple question: If you want to use musical notation in your brand or logo, why not use real music? Why demonstrate your musical ignorance? This is like opening an Italian restaurant and mis-spelling "pasta".

Meaningful musical notation is one of the many things I have admired about Charles Schulz's "Peanuts". He virtually always used real music in his strips.
