Creative Logos With Hidden Symbolism Part I

Hi, Folks 
Today I've got collection of Logos with hidden symbolism in them. 

Well I gues most of us know what logo is 

Just a small defination What is logo ? 
   A logo is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark).

All Logo designers out there this could be inspiration for you guys for future or upcoming designs. 



1) Circus of Magazines

 

Seriously this clear and perfectly designed by taking into consideration the name i.e. Circus of Magazines.Circus tent looks like a magazine (more like a book to me, but still very clever). (Designer:logotomy)

2) Formula 1



Empty space in the middle creates a number “1″ for “Formula 1″

Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1 and referred to officially as the FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The "formula", designated in the name, refers to a set of rules with which all participants' cars must comply.The F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix (from French, originally meaning great prizes), held throughout the world on purpose-built circuits and public roads.

Formula One, more commonly known as F1 or Formula 1, is the highest class of single seater auto racing championship organized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

One of the most popular sports events on the globe, 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship was watched by a huge audience of around 527 million people around the world.

The current Formula One logo was designed in the early 2000s.

DESIGN ELEMENT OF FORMULA ONE LOGO

Shape of the F1 Logo: 

The F1 logo is one of the most famous and creative sports logos ever created. The negative space in the middle of the logo creates the “1″. The F1 logo is brilliantly relevant to the brand and communicates its essence, i.e. speed and energy, in a highly effective yet aesthetically pleasing and energetically well-integrated manner.

Color of the F1 Logo: 

The F1 logo features red and black colors on a white background. The red color represents passion and energy, while the black color represents power and determination.

3) FedEx



 If you look closer you’ll notice the right-pointing arrow in between the ‘E’ and the ‘x’, representing precision and speed at which FedEx works.

FedEx Corporation, originally known as FDX Corporation, is an American global courier delivery services company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The name "FedEx" is a syllabic abbreviation of the name of the company's original air division, Federal Express, which was used from 1973 until 2000.

The original "FedEx" logo had the Ex in orange; it is now used as the FedEx Express wordmark. The FedEx wordmark is notable for containing a hidden right-pointing arrow in the negative space between the "E" and the "X", which was achieved by designing a proprietary font, based on Univers and Futura, to emphasize the arrow shape.

FedEx Logo Evolution and Facts:

The most interesting fact about the FedEx logo is that it creates an optical illusion; if you observe closely between the ‘E’ and the ‘X’, you’ll notice a presence of an arrow there. The arrow represents the speedy and accurate service of the company. The arrow was formed after 200 FedEx logos were already designed and reviewed by Lindon.

The ‘Ex’ in FedEx signifies different sectors of the company in different colors. FedEx Express in Orange; FedEx Freight in Red, FedEx Ground in Green, FedEx Kinko’s in Blue, FedEx Trade Networks in Yellow, and the FedEx Services in Grey. In addition, the ‘Ex’ of the corporate logo is also colored grey.

The earliest FedEx logo was designed in 1973 by Richard Runyan.

4) Bipolar

 

 The Logo depicts ambiguous emotions. It exactly matches the logo. The meaning of bipolar is  
 -Relating to or having two poles or charges
- Having two opposite or contradictory ideas or natures (Designer:Siah Design)


5) Amazon



Many of us know this site very well. Because most of us do purchase many stuffs on this site from clothing to books and many more.

The arrow from A to Z, symbolizes what Amazon is known for selling everything from “a to z” . It also serves as a smile, making the company feel friendly and approachable.

Well it's more....

Amazon.com, Inc. is an American company that is widely considered to be a groundbreaker in the online retailing business. Established in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com started off as an online book store, and was named after after the world’s largest river. The company soon expanded, selling thousands of items from computer software to home furniture.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Amazon.com is the biggest online retailer in the US.

DESIGN ELEMENTS OF AMAZON LOGO

Shape of the Amazon Logo:

Amazon.com has used several logos over the years. The current Amazon logo depicts the absolute message that they sell everything from A to Z. In addition to that, the arrow below the wordmark visualizes the smile that the customers of the company would experience by shopping on their website.

Color of the Amazon Logo:

The black color in the Amazon logo represents dominance, supremacy and elegance, while the orange color stands for pride and happiness.

Well these logos were pretty amazing. Well I'll post soon post part 2 of these. So keep watching..O_O

Amazing Snow Art by Simon Beck

Simon Beck    

   Originally an orienteering mapmaker, 54 years old Simon Beck  from Southern England, educated at Millfield School and Oxford University, got fond of expressing himself through gigantic snow “crop circles” look art. It all started once he bought an apartment in  Les Arcs, French ski resort in 2004. Each creation takes around 10 hours of walking in snowshoes and covers a significant piece of frozen lake sometimes even size of 6 football fields.

     The artist usually draw the design on a piece of paper before starting and as soon as he ready the only thing he is using outside is the  handheld orienteering compass and pace counting or measuring tape, so he can determine the distance and set out the work. Beck usually gets inspired by world of geometry or “crop circles”, which he developed gradually through years of performing the snow art.

      The artist behing behind the amazing snow art.

Creative Graphic Posters by Kapil Bhagat

   Kapil Bhagat creates some graphic based upon important event related to the day, about India or if  any internationally observed day. Or any random illustration.

    For example, Newton drops an “O” to illustrate gravity, a massive “C” in Copernicus reminds us that he figured the Earth wasn’t the center of the universe and placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center. Not only do the posters look great, but they also allow you to memorize who did what.

Creative Hooks

Wall hook probably doesn’t sound like something very cool, but we have 15 serious arguments to prove otherwise!


1) Paint Brush Wall Hook

Paint Brush Wall Hook

 We first fell for artist and designer Dominic Wilcox last year at the Milan Furniture Fair with his living shoe laces exhibition. But more recently, the designer has created an installation of coat hooks, recycled from old paint brushes. 

  "One day Dominic was walking through an art shop and looked at the brushes. They seemed pleasant objects so he decided to come up with something using one of them. He remembered how he used to forget to wash paint brushes after using them and then would find them hard and unusable the next day. After quite a few trials and mistakes he managed to make something useful, a coat hook. Handily there is a hole at the top of the handle for the screw."

2)Fly

Its clear-cut, linear design is enhanced at the rear by an opal finish ring that fills with white light creating a bright halo focusing on the hanging garment.

    Alone can be used in various ways - on its own, in a row or randomly scattered - contributing with its light to outlining visual and functional paths, while furnishing and enhancing also the narrowest and dimmest corners on the home. Dessigned by Daniele Trebbi.

5) Man Wall Hook

Men wall hooks will certainly provide uniqueness with its outstretched forms. Made up of high class cast resin, the stretched arms and legs will give a gymnastic comfort as a hanger for your coats, hats or even towels.

TC STUDIO IS THE EXPERIMENTAL
DESIGN SPACE OF TI CHANG

Hi, thanks for checking out my work. I'm an industrial designer / entreprenuer who has a full time job but on occasion I enjoy designing and creating not because it pays the bills, but simply because it nurishes my soul.

As an industrial designer, I work in mass prduction and volume manufacturing sometimes it is refreshing to create small batches of personal work. This is a space where you can find one-off items or products made in very limited quantities. Hope you will enjoy it!
