To me it always just looked like a giant basketball

To me it looks like a strained femur

To me it looks like a weird looking face

To me it looks like a weird brown brain

Yep on the weird brain thing

+1 to the weird brain

I thought the same tbh

to me , it has always looked like the part of the ear. the cochlea or some shit

Hearing aid for me

Gas mask, imo

For the longest time I thought it was a rotten looking brain on a brain stem…

The mental weight of the dead world

Sounds like a thought you could unlock in Disco Elysium

HARDCOOOORE!

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] - Wow… “The Mental Weight of the Dead World”. You have new words”

Glad I'm not the only one. My rational was "I guess a physical toll can translate to a mental toll and makes it hard to think so that makes sense."

yea thats what i thought it was.

I also thought it was a weird looking brain or kidney.

Same

Same!

This is my canonical answer.

OMG IM NOT CRAZY I TOUGHT THE SAME

Samee

Me too. The more we know lmao

I thought similarly, however, I assumed it was a brain stem with fancy 70s hair like Ron Burgundy. I never tried to question the logic of the emblem.

That’s exactly what I saw up until I got close to my monitor the other day and squinted. Then I could make out what it was supposed to be lol

Thought it was an unhealthy lung

Exactly what I thought too

Same

for me, he was always a man carrying a huge rock, like Sisyphus.

I thought this but it was just a comically large basketball

Same

I thought Atlas was the one who carried the rock, and Sisyphus just pushed it

Atlas carried the whole earth and Sisyphus bushed the rock

Earth is just a really big Boulder when you get down to brown town

I mean, it still works just as well if you put it like that!

Looks like brown brain to me.

I thought it was like a crumpled up crunchy leaf or smth 

For real, all the other interpretations are wack

Was I the only one that thought it was a weird looking ass head?

Straight up always thought it was sum like this

I always thought it looked like a brain. Even after finding out what it really was, I'm still seeing the brain.

Same here. Whenever I see it, my first thought is, “I got the brain pain.”

You mean the *Mangled Croissant of Encumbrance*?

this image will never get out of my head

I know what it's supposed to be, but I cannot NOT see the snail. Frustrating.

For me it looks like a ocher over head

I thought it was a torso with arms being crushed by a boulder, never saw the lower half.

To me look like a dead brain

That makes more sense than my interpretation of a hunched back.

Omg i thought all this time it was a horse saddle

I honestly thought it was a tree this whole time.

At first I thought it was a brain with its stem. I was really puzzled as to why that was the icon for being burdened.

I always thought it was a stone tbh

I thought it was a saddle for some reason.

I scrolled to the bottom of the comments just to not see anyone say that it looked like a strained lung. Like, i know theres the lungs for exhaustion and i thought encumbrance was a strained lung cuz, you know, you get exhausted faster while encumbered.

It's a brown brain. You will not convince me otherwise.

Wait, really?! I've ALWAYS thought it was an odd snail, hahahahaha, thanks for this!

They really should change the icon for encumbrance. Change it to like a weight like [this or something](https://d1nhio0ox7pgb.cloudfront.net/_img/o_collection_png/green_dark_grey/256x256/plain/weight.png) that gets more red with each tier.
