English to German translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Architecture / building design
English term or phrase: "handlebar" fins
This is from the design guidelines of a burger restaurant:

"There are some key elements of the design which must always be incorporated as these will be the building and brand icons:

Blue "handlebar" fins
"Wing" profile roofs
...

No further context I'm afraid.

Many thanks for your help!

Lenkerflosse
Explanation:
handlebar = Lenkstange, Lenker (Ernst)
handlebar moustache = Schnauzbart (Collins)
Fin = Seitenflosse, Leitblech, Kühlrippe (Ernst)
Fin = Flosse, Leitwerk (Collins)

Aus o.g. Begriffen wurde das m.E. bestmöglichste Konstrukt gebildet.

Auch Google findet keine Treffer unter "handlebar fin".

Tip: Vielleicht sollten Sie sich das Markenzeichen dieser Hamburger-Kette, sofern Ihnen diese bekannt ist, ansehen, um die bestmögliche Bezeichnung zu finden
