They probably were going for that hello kitty psychological thing. For people not wanting to look it up, I believe it means hello kitty’s success as a symbol is in part due to her have a blank look that people transpose their own feelings/interpretations onto.

I can see that. He definitely went from 30's something hipster that was the in look a few years back to a more universal look. Someone else mentioned seeing a really happy smiling bird beak, which I can see little kids seeing (like a Rorschach test) instead of the mustache that adults see.
