Designing a logo or getting a logo designed…none of both is a big task anymore. With so much internet awareness, I think any school going lad can come up with a not-so-bad logo…what say? Tell honestly…. how many of you are capable enough of coming up with a logo which can stand up high and create a noise. Yes my friends, today once again after Graphic Design Blog ’s last month successful post “25 Logos with hidden messages – Graphic Designing tricks!!” I have compiled some amazingly creative logos. They might lack the general lacy decorations but I am sure you will be thrilled to find the subtle imagination hidden within these masterpieces. |

Well, I hope once again GDB has succeeded in bringing a worthy list of hidden logos for you all. Main aim of compiling these artworks is to appreciate the creative instincts of the intelligent graphic designers and tell everyone how their work makes difference to the world. Don’t forget to share which of these logos had a real hidden message which you never noticed before. I would love to see more such logos…so, don’t stop sharing and try to make this post as successful as the earlier one |

Good collection … thank you.
Have you seen Agilitek’s logo?
-
really amazing work
keep it up ..
-
ouch! they are amazing, you see how they cheat you with the designs that eye would not notice immediately
-
The Nicholson Logo belongs to http://delicious.com/
-
Everyone always seems to miss the conductor in the LSO logo… It’s been on so many blogs and every time there is a comment about the conductor yet still no one mentions it.
Also I have seen the Modern Nerd logo EVERYWHERE… It’s got so much hype, even though I don’t have a use for it or $1,500, I want to buy it.
-
check out the one for Schweinfurt elementary school.
-
Take a look at the Hartford Whalers logo. Pure genius!
-
“Actually this term is used for a medical disorder that often depicts split personalities.”
Schizophrenia is NOT multiple personality disorder or dissociative identity disorder. That’s a common misconception. Please don’t spread false information. Thanks.
-
some excellent uses of negative space. I’ve always loved the LSO one, never notices the baton until now. nice.
Oh, and schizophrenic is nothing to do w/ split personalities; its about abnormalities in the way reality is perceived. It’s a common misconception. Uncle Wikipedia will clear it up.
-
Nice collection.
Please don’t perpetuate the myth that schizophrenia refers to split personalities. Those 2 conditions are real but unrelated.
-
The “Modern Nerd” logo, not only spells modern out in a cool way, it does so while disguising the word “nerd” in it, by leaving the D and N open towards the bottom of the letters
-
Hi Folks…..thanks to all who stopped by to share their views over this bunch of logos.
@ FB-EYE…you mentioned the "Hartford Whalers logo" to be here on the list. I would like you to check the Prelude of this post
(25 Logos with Hidden Messages) where I already ahve the Whalers Logo alongwith many other clever logos.@ DMK, CF, Stefanie….I am sorry if i mentioned wrong details about "Schizophrenia" but at couple of places I found the same facts. I will really apprecaiate if any of you send the correct details about this disorder so I replace the content….Thnks.
@ Aaron and Brian Cassidy….I read that LSO logo shows the conductor but didi not mention it because I think it’s not too evident. Don’t you think so?
@ James Cready…hey dude, why did you say that "Nicholson" logo belongs to Delicious? It certainly does not belong there and I dont have much details about it other than that I discovered it on LogoLounge.com
@ The Boss, Dr John and Orpicpixel…thanks a lot for appreciating the collection.
-
I have to say, i noticed most of them. I used to silk-screen t-shirts, etc. for peoples businesses, clubs, etc. so i have seen many, many, logos. I do like the one with the children and the hidden dove, i love images like that, as well as the peace logo and the Hope for children logo. the negative space thing, to me, is really cool:)
-
nice logos I like “LDG Logo”
-
Awesome post!! To be honest, I thought the London Museum logo was just a big blob. Thanks for explaining
.
-
These are pretty cool. I like the concealed logo the best too.
Looking forward to more!
-
wonderful concepts. hats off to the creators.
-
Truly, nice looking logos.
-
The Washington State University Cougar logo would have been a good one for this list. It’s one of the all-time classic collegiate logos. See it here.
-
Great stuff my friend, I love the old Brewers logo. My brother bought that hat when we were younger because he also liked that the “M” and “B” are connected to form a glove and ball. Thx for sharing and keep up the good work!!!

-
nice logos
-
Awesome collection of logos! In my opinion, all logos should have a least some level of a hidden meaning in them. These all do this in a pretty masterful way.
I agree, the Newman logo is genius.
-
Those were awesome – interesting and fun to analyze. Great post
-
It looks great, you can figure out so much…
-
Both “Newman” and “Society27″ logos are ambrigrams and good ones if I may say. Thank you for this fantastic post! What a great source of inspiration.
-
I’ve always been a fan of New Zealand Post’s logo – as well as being an envelope, they also manage to incorporate NZ into it (New Zealand abbreviated).

This is a great compilation! You should also check out the use of negative space in the logo for the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium:
http://www.pittsburghzoo.org/The logo is in the upper left, and you really need to see a larger version of it to appreciate how everything was incorporated.

Very creative logos. Great find.
-
hats off to all the creative heads.It doesn’t work out for many.All the logos are mind blowing n awesome.must be in ur genes..very creative.
-
good to see such creativity
-
I like the Minimum logo the most! It’s very refreshing. But I like everything that I saw here. They’re all very creative. Thanks for sharing them!
-
hello i really loved the work u’ve done collecting these logos and doing this study i will translate these topics regarding logos hidden msgs into arabic and put it into my blog if you dont mind because its really helpful and should be translated
-
Just found your blog thru @mistygirlph on Twitter; thank you for collecting these and the other amazing logos as well – just looking through them is such a feast for the eyes, as well as humbling(!) inspiration.
-
I really enjoy these posts and learning others’ perspectives on what’s in the logos. Keep em’ comin!!
-
Wrong name on minimum author!
-
Great use of white space! I really like the “Peace” one.
-
Great! …
i m not getting the logo of Academy of Fine art.
-
No doubt, the logos are stunning.
-
thank you very much
-
The white in the peace logo not only shows a dove but what appears to be a compassionate female image. With the different colors of the two individuals, i wonder if the intent was to show racial harmony.
-
If you liked the “Bison” logo check out the PBS kids program “Word World”

-
never noticed the C in the carrefour logo before! great post!
-
Charlie
I think the conductor in the LSO logo is very apparent. I noticed it instantly. You say you knew about it but didn’t mention it because you didn’t think it was that evident. Isn’t that the best time to bring it to someone’s attention? If it was evident, what would be the use of pointing it out?
In any case, I enjoy your posts about great logos. I hope you are currently working on Part 3.

This, originally drawn for Clinton’s NCAYV, is now used for the Berkeley Center for the Study of Peace and Well-Being.
Collaboration with Factor Design, San Francisco. 2004.
-
Sorry, the above comment was in reference to the great Peace logo with the child’s face and the flight of the dove shown above
-
je suis francais , merci pour carrefour …
-
The LSO logo also looks like the head and arms of a conductor conducting a symphony orchestra.
-
Hi Charlie, I’m enas CD, I’m asking if there any chance to work together as in my company we need to do more than 2 Logos for big companies. please send me an email let me know what do u think!!
awesome
-
Hmmmm. Some of them give me good creative ideas! Thx.
-
These are really creative logos.
I like this one, used by the Arizona Diamondbacks, which shows a snake and the letters D and B.
-
Well, I see the “1″ in the 15 Rose Ave – Logo, too. If you find the “5″ & “R” working fine together, what do the “1″ think about leaving beside?
-
There’s a reversible logo for Jordan basketball shoes, with a custom typeface.
-
theres a hidden 1 in the F1 logo

You have got to admire the designers who come up with these designs.
-
great collection
-

stunning collection you have..
in here, so many logo that i discovered have a hidden messages to us.
at least, some of them, already revealed.
Thanks to you.And of course for every designer who created that logo’s.
Good job for collecting them out
-
There is also a Hersheys kiss located within the “kisses” part of the Hersheys Kiss logo…
-
AMAZING SOOOOO MUCH WAY TO MUCH TO FIGURE OUT
-
The Carolina Panther logo is pretty unique because it is formed by using the shape of South Carolina (as the head) positioned on top of the shape of North Carolina (as the neck and shoulders)

Re. The London Symphony Orchestra Logo.
Hi ! I love these designs with hidden messages. In reference to the London Symphony Orchestra, in my opinion, it also represents a ‘Chef d’Orchestre’ (a ‘Conductor’ in the UK or a ‘Leader’ in the USA) moving his/her arms while directing the orchestra.
Great job overall and
Thank you for your work,
Richard

A nice collection of styles and aesthetics Charlie!
Proved to be a fascinating read!
-
Very nice collection thks
-
It is perfectly evident at first glance that the London Symphony Orchestra is a conductor’s head and two arms, one of which–the right–is holding a baton, that happens to contain the LSO in its flowing design if one looks closely. I think, though I may be wrong, that conducting is like using chopsticks, always done with the baton in the right hand.
-
I think it’s funny that you said you think that no one could miss the MB in the Milwaukee Brewers’ logo, but I have never noticed that before–I am pretty sure it is the hidden part, and the glove is what is supposed to be immediately visible.
-

i luved the modern nerd logo and got an awesome inspiration to make my own logo for my college project……………:D
-
You should take a look at the Banque Laurentienne logo too. It’s some sort of tree to convey the feeling your money will grow. At the same time, the branches are arrows that point the top of the ladder, sort of saying you’ll be at the top and finally the middle part points to the top meaning you won’t lose it.
-
Nice article
Well done !

-
Awesome! Made me change my logo !
-
Check out the ASTYLE logo. Awesome euphemism.
-
Awesome stuff
Need to redesign my logo
-
The Sansa logo with the five shapes that just look like blobs spells sansa if read top right, top left, middle, bottom left, bottom right (I think that’s the order)
-
The London Symphony also looks like an orchestra conductor
-
very good and interesting compilation
hpoe u will compile some more………………..!!!
-
It might be nice to mention that the “church logo” was made for one specific denomination – the Presbyterian Church (USA). Along with that, you should show the complete logo, which includes the denomination’s name in the surrounding circle. A color version would be nice. The other logos get this sort of detail; I think the PC(USA) should, too.
-
The Presbyterian Church logo also includes a chalice.
-
Although it’s not as well known as some of the logos in your hidden logos series, I’d like give some props to the logo for the company that I work at, the Garvey Group. It’s a printing company, and their logo consists of two G’s that form a printing registration mark.
-
Another brilliant set of logos – I feel humbled. And more than a bit talentless after seeing them.
-
I think you missed a trick with the logo for the Academy of Fine Arts, I can see the ASP you refer to but I also see (from top to bottom) the letter A that you see, then written sideways is an R, then the S, then instead of a P I see a sideways T, spelling ARTS.
-
The 8 Fish logo is a knock off !
This concept comes from MC Escher and has already been applied to logo design by Ivan Chermayeff a very long time ago.
Cheers !
-
I have been told there is a hidden message in the 2010 World Cup Logo, is this true?
-
How about the Pittsburgh Zoo logo?
-
I love it!!! These would really help me make up for the best logo for my feasib! Thanks guys!
-
Have you ever looked closely at the ‘formula one’ racing logo? Its makes good use of the ‘F’ and ‘1′ together using negative space. One of my favs
-

When I saw the London Symphony Orchestra logo, I did not think “the unbreaking rhythm of an Orchestra”, I saw an orchestra conductor conducting. (The L being his wand.)
-
The “MODERN” logo has another hidden message.
Hebrew readers clearly see that the “D” and “N” are shaped in the Hebrew letter “mem מ” which is “M”.
-
hey guyz wats ’bout LG’s logo..simple but use of full creativity..
-
Are you all blind? The LSO logo is clearly an embellished version of the line of the River Thames in London (as seen in the EastEnders titles)
-
amazing! loved it!
-
There is a Nicholson that makes tools, such as hand saws. The logo could be implying that a saw has made an N-shaped cut through a material.
-
With the Schizophrenic Logo, look likes it shows you to make you from sad to happy, since the sad face is first and the happy second
-
Love these logos. Very creative! The Church logo was a chellenge for me and I like that Hope For Children Initiative most. Such a great compilation.
-
The Society 27 logo not only incorporates the number “27″ as an ambigram, it also depicts the letter “S” for “Society”, to which they add a couple quotes to form the “27″. Quite ingenious I must admit!
-
the LSO logo also looks to me like the director facing us with baton in his left hand and open right hand. see it?
-
the peace sign; the white space has the statue of liberty face part in it , and it forms into a dove also. Clever, right?
-
Very Interesting Some i noticed straight awy but other I did not know
-
The LSO logo is in the shape of a conductor. That’s what’s cool. It has nothing to do with the “unbreaking rhythm of the orchestra.” The “right hand” (on our left) is a baton, the “left hand” (on our right) is his arm. Awesome logo.
-
I actually really like this article … this style of logo where there are hidden messages are clearly the most appealing and memorable … after seeing the arrow in the FEDEX logo it’s all I see and I’m sure to look for it every time one of their delivery trucks pass. This has assisted me in developing logo’s for my own clients so thanks graphicdesignblog.org!

I think the London Symphony Orchestra logo depicts a conductor with his baton, rather than the flow you mention…..I may be wrong!!

hey! you missed the Mexico City’s subway…
check it’s logo here…. http://www.paginasprodigy.com/betocuas/img/metro%20single.jpgthe logo is both, a subway wagon and a “M” letter…
in Mexico, subway is called “Metro”… now you understand??
also, there’s a campaing with the phrase “TQM” (the M is the subway’s logo)…
TQM means “Te Quiero Mucho” (I love you)… but can also be used as “Te Quiero, Metro” (I love you subway)…great, isn’t it?
-
hahahahahahahahahah word that is soo cool omg that is the coolest thing ever. HOW did i not see that before?!? it’s really mind boggling!
-
Schizophrenia is most definitely not MPD. Please, research first. Schizophrenia is characterized by delusions (hallucinations, hearing voices, etc.) and does not have anything to do with split personalities.

all the logos are perfect. great job designers

The LSO logo also looks like a conductor – one arm waving his baton and the other directing.
