A lot of thought and consideration goes into designing a company’s logo.
It’s one of the first things consumers notice when they think of a brand that becomes the single identity.
But sometimes, there’s more to them that meets the eye. Here are 15 hidden messages in logos you probably had no idea existed. Are any of them shocking to you?
1. Toyota
This one is extra cool because the logo actually includes every letter used in the company’s name.
2. Toblerone
“Toblerone” chocolates come from Switzerland and they really make it show not only by having Bern (city where Toblerone is made) in the name, but also a bear’s silhouette placed inside the mountain logo.
3. Tour De France
4. Beats
Letter B in the red circle shows a person wearing Beats headphones.
5. Hyundai
Car manufacturer’s logo stands for the first letter of their name, right? Not only so, it also represents a successful deal between a car dealer and a customer.
6. Fedex
“FedEx” hid a small arrow between letters E and x, which represents the forward momentum and efficiency.

It’s actually a stylized version of famous woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
