I immediately thought of this College Game Day sign

I'm going to be honest, I never noticed that the Diamondbacks logo formed a snake, in the negative space, until a few years ago. I always thought it was a stylized A.

I always saw that the A was a downward facing head of a snake with it's tongue (in profile) but never noticed the negative space also creating a snake head sorta. Interesting.

The Target logo reminds me of how the S in the Lowe’s logo doesn’t match the rest of the letters. You can never un-see it.

On top of this, the "L" and "E" have 90° angle corners, but "O" and "W" have rounded corners. It's just a mess.

Ooh, this could be a good topic.

I feel stupid for not realizing the notch in Infiniti's logo is supposed to be a road traveling towards the horizon:

...and in sports, it took a while for me to grasp that the Carolina Panthers' logo is an abstract map of North and South Carolina.

Is there any sort of verifiable statement of intent from the designer or team on this?

 

The fact that you not only have to flip the logo upside down but also break its neck to even have a remote chance at explaining this makes it the worst Easter egg in any logo, ever.

 

Also, I just realized that the Panther looks like he’s wearing a barbershop cape. :lol:

I mean, I REALLY had to squint to get it, but now that MY neck is broken trying to find it I can't unsee it. :D

Anyway, here's the best reference I could find on a moment's notice: http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article58739358.html

As well as this video sanctioned by the NFL: 

 

 

Notice how they say "loosely" haha.

I don't think you need to flip it upside down and break its neck. After all, NC and SC together just sort of form a rough triangle, and so does the logo. There are plenty of interpretations that are more straightforward.

There! That middle one! I still think it’s forced (and you have to flip the logo), but this does a much better job at illustrating the idea than any of the others, which make little sense.

No idea how I missed it until just yesterday, but the negative space of the face opening of the Golden Knights logo forms a V. I just thought it was a helmet plopped onto a black shield and looked way too sparse to me until I noticed it.

From what I have been told, the neck is supposed to be in the shape of North Carolina while the head is supposed to be in the shape of South Carolina. If you could isolate those two shapes, they'd be a fairly similar shape of each state.

It looks pretty obvious to me. Just like the others we all know and love.

Never noticed that... gah!

 

Thats not egregious, though. The L and E certainly *could* have rounded corners, but by no means do they need to. An O is round; an E is square.

Yeah, I'm sitting in the Capital One Arena, an avid CCSLCer, cheering on the Caps, and it dawns on me...

concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes

The n is lower case while all the other letters are uppercase

I know it's an old logo, but Wendy's used to be the same way, with the 'n' and 'y' in lower case and everything else in upper case.
