Rat Claws

Created by Emilie Autumn
Both used as a hand gesture and as a logo. The iconography of the rat was an integral part of the stage show and has been used in costumes, set design, artwork and merchandising.

The hand gesture itself is used by Miss Autumn, Plague rats and muffins. It is also used in motion during the rat game.

The logo has appeared on concert posters, disc art, web design, apparel and press related items.

Rat claws are one of the most definitive symbols used by Emillie Autumn.

Utility beer

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.

Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
