it means s2000 handles so good that it could literally "scoop" the curve away like a spoon.

no, just j/k

spoon, is a car (honda cars- civic and s2000) tuning company in japan.
a lot of s2ki.com's sponsors have good deals on their products.

not to advertise them or anything... but,
some of their products, like "x- brace", are almost "must"s for s2000s. (wait, am i allow to say things like this?)

Some say it's a swan, others say it's a specific turn at a specific track in Japan -- not sure which one...Suzuka?

[shameless plug] Regardless, SPOON ROCKS!! [/shameless plug]

Tatsuru Ichishima is the director of Spoon and like bmarshall put it:

It's a Tsuru - a bird
So I'm guessing that he uses the crane as his insignia because it's actually part of his name.

Don't quote me on this one though.
