Remember, the thing being made here is the video. Let's think like a video-maker for a moment.
The featured trinket takes very little time to make when it is compared to the video itself. There are actually three logos being used for the making of this film, and the finished piece isn't even shown here, because as I type this, it still isn't done yet. The final version is the one shown during the woodworking scenes, and right up through the blue paint scene. After that, I am showing the second prototype, which was finished (painted) very quickly, so that I could shoot the end of the video. The final reveal shows a blotchy finished logo, which I regret is the price of reducing the production time of this video.
So what did I cut with the chainsaw, and why? It was the original (first) prototype, which was made using proportions that more closely approximated the official logo. This version was taller than it was wide, and so it was not a convincing reproduction when viewed IRL. I tried to use distraction to keep you from noticing this; there is little chance that you could be aware of such minutia while a loud dramatic event unfolds in only a few seconds. But nevertheless, it was a lousy copy. You see, the official logo is a multiple-point perspective drawing, so it is inconsistent and unreliable for use with deriving precise measurements. It just didn't look right after I reproduced it as accurately as possible, so I chopped off some of the height from each side, but then the yellow parts were no longer squares. As a perfectionist, I found this condition to be insufficient, and further, I could not tolerate this inferior product's existence in my garage. So I used the opportunity to make a scene that would recreate a certain reference that, if you are asking "why," you didn't get.
Sorry if you didn't get it because it was obscure. But you know what? That's what makes you feel clever whenever the shoe is on the other foot, and you get it, while all of those other dumbasses are asking, "why the hell did he..."
