Some hidden information contained 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.
Fedex
This is probably one of the best known logos with a hidden meaning. If you look closely, you’ll see an arrow that’s formed by the letters E and x. This arrow symbolizes speed and precision, two major selling points of this company.
Continental
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
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.
Baskin Robins
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
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
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
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.
Formula 1
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.
Sun Microsystems
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.

Mera Bharat Mahaan !!!
Mera Bharat Mahaan !!!
We live in a nation ,
- where Pizza reaches home faster than Ambulance/police/fire force,
- Where you get car loan @ 5% and education loan @ 12%,
- Where rice is Rs 40/- per kg but sim card is free,
- Where a millionaire can buy a cricket team instead of donating the money to any charity,
- Where the footwear, we wear ,are sold in AC showrooms, but vegetables, that we eat, are sold on the footpath,
- Where everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to follow the path to be famous,
- Where we make lemon juices with artificial flavours and dish wash liquids with real lemon.

ATTITUDE MAKES DIFFERENCE.. !
When it rains all BIRDS occupy shelter, but EAGLE avoid rain by flying above clouds, problem is same to all but ATTITUDE MAKES DIFFERENCE.. !
I feared being alone
Until I learned to like Myself.
I feared failure
Until I realized that I only Fail
when I don't try.
I feared success
Until I realized that I had to try
in order to be happy with myself.
I feared people's opinions
Until I learned that people would
have opinions about me anyway.
I feared rejection
Until I learned to have faith in myself.
I feared pain
Until I learned that it's necessary for growth
I feared the truth
Until I saw the ugliness in lies.
I feared life
Until I experienced its beauty.
I feared death
Until I realized that it's not an end,
but a beginning.
I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that I had the power
to change my life.
I feared hate
Until I saw that it was nothing
more than ignorance.
I feared love
Until it touched my heart,
making the darkness fade into
endless sunny days.
I feared ridicule
Until I learned how to laugh at myself.
I feared growing old
Until I realized that
I gained wisdom every day.
I feared the future
Until I realized that
Life just kept getting better.
I feared the past
Until I realized that
It could no longer hurt me.
I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight.
I feared the light
Until I learned that the
Truth would give me Strength.
I feared change,
Until I saw that even the most beautiful
butterfly had to undergo a Metamorphosis
before it could fly.
If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you’re stuck and you don’t know how to rise, don’t look outside yourself. Look inside. Don’t let your fears keep you mired in the crowd.
Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the “Champion Within” will burst forth to propel you toward victory.

NAIL IN THE FENCE
His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered that it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence & said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one."
It won't matter how many times you say, "I'm sorry", the wound is still there. " A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."
