You might think the arrow
does nothing here. But it says
that amazon.com has
everything from a to z and it
also represents the smile
brought to
the customer's face. Wow, that
is quite deep
The 'arrow' that you can see
between the E and the x in
this logo. The arrow was
introduced to underscore
speed and precision, which are
part of the positioning of the
company.
The old logo of Baskin Robbins had the
number 31 with an arc above it. The
new logo took this idea to the next
level. The pink parts of the BR still form
the number 31, a reference to the 31
flavours.
Carrefour is one of the biggest
European retailers, and its also French
for crossroads. The logo symbolizes
this word via two opposite arrows.
They also added the first letter of the
name, because if you look closely you ll
see the letter
C in the negative space between the
two arrows.
At first, this logo might not make much sense. But if you look closely,
youll see the number 1 in the negative space between the F and the
red stripes.
The NBC (National Broadcasting Company) is one of the biggest American television networks. The peacock has 6 different tail feathers, referring to the six divisions at the time that this logo was created. The peacocks head is flipped to the right to suggest it was looking forward, not back.
Sony Vaio is a well known brand of laptops. But did you know that the name Vaio logo also had a hidden meaning? Well, the first two letters represent the basic analogue signal. The last two letters look like a 1 and 0, representing the digital signal.
Toblerone is a chocolate-company from Bern ,
Switzerland . Bern is sometimes called The City Of
Bears. They have incorporated this idea in the
Toblerone logo, because if you look closely, you ll
see the silhouette of a bear.
They produce a huge amount of different products and they wanted to reflect this in their logo. Each part of the logo has a meaning. For example: the heart represents love, care and health - feeling good, a bird is a symbol of freedom. Relief from daily chores “ getting more out of life”
The SUN Microsystems logo is a
wonderful example of symmetry and
order. It was a brilliant observation that
the letters u and n while arranged
adjacent to each other look a lot like
the letter S in a perpendicular
direction. Spectacular.
The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the
attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo
This was a logo created for a puzzle game
called Cluenatic. This game involves
unravelling four clues. The logo has the
letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze.
and from a distance, the logo looks like a
key
People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and the light squares as 0's. Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.
