After this, you’ll never look at these logos the same.
You’ve probably seen a few of these, but I guarantee that there’s at least one you’ve never seen before. If not, I’ll PayPal you a dollar for being so awesome. Plus, I found something new in the FedEx logo.
Here are 21 famous logos with super-insane hidden messages that’ll blow your mind! Try to find the hidden symbolism before you read the descriptions.
All of these logos are trademarked by their respective organizations.
1. Amazon
The arrow makes a smile and Amazon sells everything from __ to __.
2. Atlanta Falcons
The logo is an “F” for Falcons.
3. Baskin Robbins
Everybody knows Baskin Robbins has “31″ flavors.
4. Big Ten
The Big Ten welcomed their 11th school, Penn State, in 1990 and didn’t want to change their logo.
5. FedEx
Most people know about the arrow between the “E” and the “x.” But did you notice that the “ed” hangs lower than the other letters. And! There’s a spoon in “Fed.”
6. Formula 1
The black is the letter “F” and there’s a “1″ in the negative space.
7. Goodwill
Do you see half of a happy face or do you see a “g”?
8. Knight Transportation
There’s a knight in armor with a spear in the middle of the “K.” But if you look closely you can also see the head of a horse.
9. Le Tour de France
There’s a bicyclist in that logo. Hint: The yellow is a wheel.
10. LG
Some speculate that the logo for Life’s Good is inspired by Pac-Man.
11. London Symphony Orchestra
What do you see first? The initials “LSO” or a conductor with a wand?
12. Milwaukee Brewers
First I saw it as a baseball mitt. But if you look closely you can see the “m” and the “b.”
13. NBC
NBC’s logo is a forward-looking peacock that incorporates the six primary and secondary colors in its feathers. The six feathers symbolize NBC’s six divisions: News, Sports, Entertainment, Stations, Network, and Productions.
14. Northwest Airlines
You probably see an “N” in a circle. But the triangle makes a “W” for “west” and it points northwest.
15. Roxy and Quicksilver
Roxy is a clothing brand for women owned by Quicksilver. The logo is comprised of two Quicksilver logos to make the shape of a heart.
16. Sony Vaio
The Sony Vaio logo symbolizes the integration of analog and digital technology. Th “VA” forms an analog wave and “IO” represents a binary 1 and 0.
17. Staples
The “L” isn’t an “L.”
18. Sun Microsystems
Sun’s logo is four interweaved copies of the word “sun.”
19. TaylorMade
The “T” is the bottom-side of a driver.
20. Toblerone
Toblerone originated from Bern, Switzerland. The town is also known as “The City of Bears.”
21. Tostitos
Do you see the two people enjoying the chips and dip?
Bonus: The 5th Face of Mt. Rushmore
Same image rotated 90 degrees to the left. If you’re having trouble seeing the fifth face, blur your eyes.
Which logos haven’t you noticed before? Do you know of any others?
If you’ve seen all of these, let me know in the comments and I’ll make good on my guarantee.

hi Nick!
This article is awsome! I knew FEDEX but I didn’t know others.
I think these company’s strategies make us potentially useful.
Thank you for great information.
I will come here again .
Hey Kazuki! Good to see you here. Yeah, I like these types of things. It’s neat to see how creative people are.
I loved this article but where are the other partyers in the tostitos logo? I have to know!
Hey Katie! There are only two partiers in the Tostitos logo. They’re the middle two t’s.
Great article Nick!
Thanks, Henry! How’d you find it?
Good article Nick..
I have seen most of them before apart from
Goodwill
Knight Transportation
Atlanta Falcons..
Cheers!!
Ah, you almost had me. Goodwill and Knight were two that I noticed just driving around. Now I look for these types of logos everywhere.
This logo may not be famous yet, but I like it.
omg did u also notice for the sun techno thing the logo is just made out of U’s
Haha… Sure did, Linda. I remember seeing that as a kid and thinking it was the coolest thing!
Also in the Toyota logo, you can make out a T. And also in the Lexus logo, there’s an L.
Have you started to take a closer look at every logo you see, Daniel? I do, almost to a fault.
Given that the sculptor of Mount Rushmore was Gutzon Borglum and some argue that he “allegedly” wanted his face as the 5th face, but was told not to… then this could certainly be a way to “get what he wanted” anyway.
His side profile below:

What do you think? Any resemblance
Wow! Thanks for the info, Najmah! I’d say there’s a resemblance. Missing the mustache, though.
I have seen all of these. Will you really make good on your statement?
Hey Pam! You’ve seen all 21 of those logos and known about all of the hidden messages? Including Sony VAIO? If so, then of course. Email me your PayPal email: nick@14clicks.com
Here’s another logo;

Hmm… That’d be hilarious if Mayflower intended it to be that way. I’m not convinced though. Thanks for sharing, Brian.
The LG is an L and a G…look closely.
I enjoyed viewing all of them. I knew about the peacock for NBC but not what the different colors stood for. My dad worked for Northwest Airlines so I knew that one. Everything else was intriguing but I still couldn’t put my finger on who the mystery face is on the last image. It kinda looks like Lincoln but he’s already on the mountain……hm.
That’s what I was thinking, Rita. Perhaps we need to find someone who looks like that and make them president.
With that head of hair and a thick beard….may be a bit passe…..Unless we go Amish for our next President. Haha.
hey, can anyone give me the proper name for the Roxy and Quicksilver pic, as im using the red one to find out its proper name… only because in using it on my iphone thnks
Milwaukee Brewers: The baseball in the glove is not a normal looking baseball. I do not see significance in it. Does anyone else? Why not make it look like a regular ball? Must be some reason other than just artsie-fartsie, smanchie pants.
I’m not sure, Dan. Didn’t notice it before. Like you said, I’m sure there’s a reason.
Canon, the “o” is the shutter.
hey nic…. you gave us amazing facts..i am 20 year old chic living in indore, madhyapradesh , india….n you’ll be proud to know that there is a local newspaper dainik bhaskar…they have db star as their promoting newspaper…they share your logos in that newspaper once in a week…. and people do appreciate it!
That’s great, Samiksha! Thanks for letting me know.
Hi nick..
I want to make you notice that in “toblerone” logo, the mountain has a face of a person with open mouth or a horse standing on back 2 feet…see it carefully..
I’ll will be glad if I deserve 1dollar for it.!!
Hey Kashyap, I should’ve been more clear in my description. The “horse” in the background is a bear because the company was founded in “The City of Bears.” The deal was if you had seen all of the logos.
The hidden message in the Toyota logo http://girishsj.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/toyota-logo.jpg
Ah, there’s a good one. Haven’t seen that before. Thanks, Noax.
Good one its awesome!!!
London Symphony Orchestra logo iam seeing first time it is too good
Love the SUN logo – always thought that it was SUN but now notice that it is UN only… great collection!
In the fifth face of Mount Rushmore, I see a side profile of an Easter Island moai statue
Houston Texans. The left (red) half of the steer’s head resembles the shape of the state of Texas, with the (lone) star being near the position of the capital, Austin.
TaylorMade’s T is also the top side view of a putter turned upside down.
LG doesn’t stand for “Life’s Good”. It stands for “Lucky Goldstar”.
“Goldstar” was the American brand of their electronics back in the eighties and nineties. You may remember cheap Goldstar televisions and microwave ovens at K-Mart back then.
“Lucky” was the Asian facing brand for the same stuff.
In the late nineties I believe, they merged the two brands together and began making higher quality products. “LG” became the new brand name.
Wow, the amount of detail that is in the “Knight Transportation” logo is phenomenal, really clever stuff!
Owsome knowledge sharing…. Also a thumbs up for the logo creators….
the camel cigarettes logo (the old one) has a guy standing up and peeing. his leg is the camels front leg.
the rushmore image looks somewhat like nixon imo.
