Hidden meaning behind famous brand logos
Do you think your favourite brands' logos are just company names? Prepare to be surprised! Logos often have hidden meanings, which can be company values, policies, or something related to their product. It's like finding your very own Easter eggs! Let’s have a look at 5 of these brand logos with surprising hidden meanings.
Apple
The Apple logo is often associated with the biblical story of Adam and Eve, where the bitten apple symbolises the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Another interpretation is that the bite (byte) represents technology.
Baskin & Robbins
What might look like a fun pink and blue logo for an ice cream brand has a hidden 31 in its logo. The number represents the ice cream flavours the brand initially started with.
Rayban
Famous for its beloved sunglasses, Ray-Ban actually incorporates a subtle illustration of a pair of shades in its logos. Can’t find it? Tilt your head sideways and you’ll see a sunglass silhouette in the letter B of the logo.
Gillette
The font for this logo looks very sporty and sturdy, but the slight cut in the letters G and I represents the USP of their products. Those slanted letters are angled to give off a “razor-sharp” feeling.
What might look like a simple P representing the name hides more than a single alphabet. The logo also looks like a thumb pin because you ‘pin’ your images to the board. Interesting, right? Also, a fun fact is that Pinterest is a portmanteau word combining the words ‘pin’ and ‘interest’ which literally means to Pin your interests!
