Hidden Message Logos

One of the most important aspects when it comes to the branding of a company has to be the logo. A company’s logo is often the first visual impression of the company and you absolutely do not want to fuck up that first impression. Fucking up your logo is the equivalent of trying to talk to a chick with that nasty white shit in the corner of your mouth… Well may be not that bad but you get what Im saying. A LOGO IS SOMETHING YOU DON”T WANT TO FUCK UP.

Some of the best logos are the ones that deliver a message to the potential consumer indirectly. When companies deliver a message to potential consumers indirectly, theres a stronger connection to the brand vs. the brand forcing a message down the consumers throat. Its the equivalent of observing a girl and recognizing she’s fly without anything being said vs. the girl telling you how fly and awesome she is.

Checkout a few dope logos that pulled off the hidden message pretty well:

The Amazon logo is an extremely simple logo and while the arrow may just look like a smile it actually points from a to z. This represents that Amazon sell everything from a to z and the smile on the customers face when they bought a product.
