LOGOs mean and significance and what they represent

We may think arrow in AMAZON.com does nothing here. But it says amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face.


Am not sure that how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in federal express logo. Yeah, I am taking about the 'arrow' that you can see between E and x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are the part of 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 next level. The pink parts of the BR still form the number 31, a reference to the 31 flavours.

At first, this logo might not make much sense. But if you look closely you'll see the number 1 in the negative space between the F and the red stripes. I also love how this logo communicates a feeling of speed.


NBC is one of the biggest American television networks. I think most of you have already seen peacock in the logo. The peacock has 6 different tail feathers, referring to 6 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, youll see the silhouette of a bear.



Unilever is one of the biggest producers of food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. 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 catches my attention.


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.




Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid database work. All their work is highly quantitative and relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it.

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.

Kind like the surreal green screen of The Matrix, they want us to read stuff in binary.
