    Hidden Information in Famous Logos

  • This logo doesn’t seem to hide much at first sight, but it gives you a little insight in the philosophy behind the brand. First of all, the yellow swoosh looks like a smile: Amazon.com want to have the best customer satisfaction. The swoosh also connects the letters a and z, meaning that this store has everything from a to z.


    Continental is a manufacturer of tyres. You could actually see this in their logo, because the first two letters create a 3-dimensional tyre.




    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.


    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.



    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.


    Carrefour is one of the biggest European retailers, and it’s 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.


    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.



    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.


    The Sun logo is one of the most famous ambigrams in the world. You can read the brand name in every direction; both horizontally and vertically. This logo was designed by professor Vaughan Pratt of the Stanford University.


    The NBC (National Broadcasting Company) is one of the biggest American television networks. I think most of you have already seen the peacock in this logo. The peacock has 6 different tail feathers, referring to the six divisions at the time that this logo was created. The peacock’s head is flipped to the right to suggest it was looking forward, not back.

    Happiness














  • Happiness depends upon ourselves.
    Happiness is not a destination.
    It is a method of life.

    You cannot always have happiness,
    But you can always give happiness.

    Happiness is not a matter of events;
    It depends upon the tides of the mind.

    Everything exists in limited quantity - especially happiness.

    Action may not always bring happiness;
    But there is no happiness without action.

    Happiness is not having what you want.
    It is wanting what you have.

    Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold,
    The feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

    To be happy, we must not be too
    Concerned with others.

    Some pursue happiness, others create it.

    Happiness is not something
    You postpone for the future;
    It is something you design
    For the present.

    Some cause happiness wherever they go;
    Others whenever they go.

    Let us be grateful to people who make us happy,
    They are the charming gardeners
    Who make our souls blossom.

    Happiness held is the seed.
    Happiness shared is the flower.

    Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
