A company’s logo is hugely important for representing them. They need something that is eye catching, unique, creative and memorable. Some people will forget the name of a business and even what they’re all about, but a logo often stays in their minds so it needs to be designed to be unforgettable! When creating something that has all of the characteristics we mentioned above, it takes careful planning. Many logos actually have hidden meanings and messages that you would never have guessed existed! When you do decipher them, it makes that company even more memorable. Below we have a list of examples showing logos that have hidden meanings and messages. Take a look and test yourself!
