Hidden Images In Logos

During my University time, I came across a book that talks about logo design.

It is very interesting to know that there are hidden images or messages in a logo design. I was so amused by the creativity that a / the designer can have.

Here is something to share about the hidden images in logos, quoted from Yahoo! & Divine Caroline :

FedEx

This logo appears to be very simple, but if you look at the white space between the "E" and "x" in “Ex," you'll find it is more complex than you thought. Can you spot the arrow?

Tostitos

These popular party chips are a staple at many backyard BBQs, but chances are, you've never noticed the hidden celebration scene concealed within the letters. The second and third "t’s" are sharing a chip over an "i" that is dotted with a salsa bowl. Yum!

Le Tour de France

Named the world's most famous and prestigious cycling race, bike-lovers and non-cyclists alike are familiar with the event's emblem. However, you might be missing out on the logo's most interesting aspect. After careful examination, you'll notice an image of a person riding a bicycle; the yellow circle is the front wheel and the r is the body.

Amazon.com

Amazon.com has become a go-to source for electronic commerce. Clearly there is an arrow under Amazon, but have you ever thought about its significance? Take a look at where the arrow begins and ends: a and z.
This secret message seems to conveys that Amazon offers everything from A to Z!

Hershey's Kisses

The Kisses logo doesn’t have much to it, but if you look at it sideways, you might see a chocolate kiss formed between the K and the I.

Toblerone

There’s a slightly obscured bear within the Matterhorn Mountain if you look closely. That’s because the candy bar hails from Bern, Switzerland, a city supposedly named for a bear.

Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

The tree stands out almost immediately, but if you give the image more than a cursory glance, the designer’s remarkable use of white space becomes clear. There’s a lot of life in this logo, which makes it perfect for a zoo-aquarium combination.

Recently, I have created a logo for a creative production group named Wave In Art.

Based on the concept of the hidden images, I have came out the logo proposals below :

Since the group name is called Wave In Art, I have created "waves" to form into "A" shape which brings out the meaning of "wave inside the art".

Luckily, the group leader likes the idea and after some tweaking, below will be the final logo design :

Creative Signage - IOI Mall Puchong

Found a cute signage when I was going to the Ladies @ IOI Mall Puchong.

Creative? It is cute too. At least it make me smile. : )

Chopper Board Penang @ Sri Petaling

这两天到 Sri Petaling 上戏剧课前，都去了这间店 - Chopper Board Penang 喝Kopi, 吃半生熟蛋和烤面包。

第一天去时，恰恰心情不是很好。

当Kopi 到时， 喝了一口，顿时紧绷的心情松弛的下来

突然发现，外头天气清爽，凉凉的风一阵阵地吹在脸上。

当第一个口尝到了半生熟蛋，胃也渐渐地暖和了起来。我就这样心情舒畅地吃完我的晚餐。

一份简单的晚餐。

心情一刹那的转变。

快乐与不快乐，只在于我们的一念之差。

只要看得开，世界何其美丽。

这家店的 Kopi 泡得真的还不错。

下次一定还要去再喝。

Selfish People. Y?

Sometimes we found that we cannot get along well with some friends or colleagues. Normally we will start thinking about whether it is our problem or maybe we have not been treating them well.

When time goes by, we discovered that a lot of people around us are having the same problem with them. I have met a few of this kind of friends and they shares the same traits - low self-esteem. You cannot image how serious low self-esteem can affect a human's behavior and thinking.

Here is something that one of friend shared with me on people who is with poor self-esteem :

"We instinctively shy away or react against people who are selfish. The problem is that when people are not comfortable with themselves, they tend to focus more on themselves: their needs, their true identity, their search for meaning and satisfaction. A selfish society, an ego-centred world is rather symptomatic of a society that is not at home with itself. Selfish people are usually people with poor self-esteem. It is a vicious cycle."
