Subliminal hidden messages in signs around us...
2006-02-02, 7:47 PM #1
Friend of mine pointed out something in the FedEx logo that I'd never noticed before. The E and X form a little arrow. Let me show you...

Post some of the things in signs that most people don't notice, such as this arrow.

They spent quite a bit of money to put that arrow there.

Yeah, okay, the arrow is all I see when I look at the logo now.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I predict this thread will be filled with people complaining that they can't "un-see" the arrow.

Brewers original logo. I never noticed that it actually forms an "M" and a "B" (for Milwaukee Brewers)

I don't know how else to explain that Fed Ex wanted a subliminal arrow in their logo, and so they paid money for someone to arrange that...

You know, I just had a whole arguement planned out for this, and I just decided it wasn't worth it and spending a lot of money on something like that is rather stupid.

Fruity Oaty Bars,
Make you bust out of your blouse.
Eat them all the time,

Designing a logo isn't as easy as you'd think. These subliminal messages are put there on purpose. You have to study creative techniques, typography, colors and other things to make quality logos.
Sorry for the lousy German
2006-02-03, 4:41 AM #29
Impi is correct.

Its not like they asked for "the e and the x to form an arrow!"

And I highly doubt you could have come up with the same logo in 5 minutes.

I saw that one. I don't really think that there was supposed to be a message there.

-Oh well. Bush does have some wily people working for him. Comforting, since he couldn't think himself out of a wet paper bag.

Never said I could, MB. I understand the troubles they had to go to, and that making a logo is hard.

It's just my opinion something that at most half the people who look at the sign won't see it, and it was somewhat a useless investment, although a good one I'm sure they thought.

The arrow is not 'subliminal' at all, as far as I'm concerned. What subliminal message would it be trying to put across? It's just a fairly well-known combination of text that forms a symbol for an arrow, which is a decent symbol fora shipping company, no?

Yeah, arrows aren't associated with "moving" and "travel" and "going" at all are they...

No, they paid big money to have those letters changed to form an arrow, and brainwashed the entire populace. It's a vast cover up. I probably shouldn't even be-
