On June 6th, 2018 Somf_machine , a Reddit user, posted an English translation of the interview:
“Mr. Ice: I made up the name myself, so it’s mine, patent-registered on me, mmmh, so I basically started here – by myself, Frank wasn’t there – to design the skull. (cut) The logo originated from the fact that I wanted to have a skull… you know, on the jackets, too, back then when the tattoos weren’t… uuh, uhhhm somehow, not to be realized in the near future and stuff… and I really wanted the skull. So, but they only had ‘Heavy Metal‘ skulls everywhere but they’re aggressive to me. That’s a direction I didn’t wanna follow. So that’s why.. we did it at the t-shirt shop, took it from a skeleton, changed the glasses… that means removed the eyes, put in glasses, added veins, brought out the teeth – really brought them out for the smile, so it would fit the name… he shouldn’t be aggressive, maybe a bit (? I don’t understand that word, at all) but also the peace maker type.”
