Amazon

amazon

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.

Baskin Robbins

baskin_robbins

The Baskin Robbins logo may look like it includes a simple BR above the name but if you take another look you will that it includes a pink number 31. This is a reference to the original 31 flavors.

Chick-fil-a

chick_fil_a

The Chick-fil-a logo incorporates a chicken into the C. Although this isn’t very hidden, it is still very clever.

Eighty20

eighty20

The eighty20 logo is a bit of a geeky one to figure out, the two lines of squares represent a binary sequence with the blue squares being 1′s and the grey squares being 0′s. Which makes 1010000 which represents eighty and 0010100 which represents 20.

F1

f1

The F1 logo is a fairly simple one to figure out. The negative space in the middle creates the 1.

Facebook Places

facebook_places

If you didn’t already know Facebook Places, is Facebooks new geolocational product. Which is in direct competition with the current leader in that area Foursquare. Now if you take another look at Facebook Places logo you will notice it is a 4 in a square now is this a coincidence or a dig at Foursquare?

Fedex

fedex

The FedEx logo look like a plain text based logo but if you take a second look between the E and the x you will see an arrows which represents the speed and accuracy of the companies deliveries.

Milwaukee Brewers

milwaukee_brewers

The old Milwaukee Brewers logo may look like a simple catchers mitt holding a ball, but if you take a second you will see the team’s initials M and B.

Museum of London

museum_of_london

The Museum of London logo may look like a modern logo design but it actually represents the geographic area of london as it as grew over time.

NBC

nbc

The NBC logo has a hidden peacock above the above text which is looking to the right, this represents the companies motto to look forward and not back, and also that they are proud of the programs they broadcast.

Northwest Airlines

northwest_airlines

The old Northwest Airlines logo may look like a simple logo but if you take a closer look the symbol on the left actually represent both N and W and because it is enclosed within the circle it also represents a compass pointing northwest.

Piano Forest

piano_forest

The Piano Forest logo may look like a simple text logo with trees above it, but if you take another look you will see that the trees actually represent keys on a piano.

Toblerone

toblerone

The Toblerone logo contains the image of a bear hidden in the Matterhorn mountain, which is where Toblerone originally came from.

Tostitos

tostitos

The Tostitos logo includes two people sharing a chip and a bowl of salsa, this conveys an idea of people connecting with each other over a bowl of chips.

Treacy Shoes

The Treacy Shoes logo is very cute logo with a shoe hidden between the t and s.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Ikophot Exposure Meter – Made by Zeiss Ikon

Most of the TLRs do not come with built-in meter.

For TLRs come with built-in meter, most of these may not fully functional due the its age, or some functional but may not be accurate.

In these cases, a good exposure is very useful.

Managed to got a e-copy of Zeiss Ikon Ikophot exposure meter instructional manual, free download here.
