The Story Behind the Logo

You may have noticed all our gear has our famous whale logo on it. Literary enthusiasts might recognize the reference to the great American Novel, “Moby Dick.” Pequod’s is named after the ship in that great story, where a whaling captain and his crew chase after the infamous white whale: Moby Dick. The original logo was just a whale, but its new form features a thong haphazardly tossed over the whale’s head and obscuring its right eye.

Those who read the book — and even those who only read the SparkNotes version — might observe astutely that there is no thong adorning the white whale Captain Ahab sought so mono-maniacally. But here at Pequod’s, you may have noticed we like to put our own spin on things. A unique crust deserves a unique whale. And, regardless of its adherence to the original story, it makes for a very cool logo.

The logo started with Pequod’s original owner, Burt Katz, the founder of our iconic crust. Burt started Pequod’s at our Morton Grove location back in 1971. He went on to sell the restaurant to its current owner, Keith Jackson. Keith, knowing Pequod’s to be the gem it was, kept many aspects of the great pizza spot the same, including the logo and the recipes. That’s why long-time Pequod’s lovers can still find the same delicious tastes and recognizable whale friend when they visit the restaurant, and its newer location in Lincoln Park, today.
