Logo's that are not just logo's! Part 2

Yesterday, DevSnippets compiled a list of 30 logos which actually had some connection with the name. The connections could be easily spotted. I blogged about that piece of work and this post is the follow up to that one.

Tell me, what makes this logo of Formula 1 special?

Look carefully, the number 1 is in the space between the F and the red stripes. Also, the red stripes indicate speed. Amazing!

FedEx
Look at E and X carefully, there is an arrow pointing towards the right. This arrow signifies speed and precision, the key point of their adverts.

Amazon
And again, another arrow does the work! The arrow here indicates happiness which relates to customer satisfaction. Also, that arrow starts from A, ends at Z ie they have all products A to Z!

Toblerone
Have you noticed that there is a silhouette of a bear in the mountain? Wondering why? Well this chocolate company is from Bern, Switzerland, which is sometimes also known as "The City of Bears"

Sony Vaio
Sony's laptop series. The initial part of VAIO ie V and A are basic analog signals and the I and O represent 1 and 0 which are basic digital signals!

Baskin Robins
Hey whats 31 doing in there? Oh yeah, their old logo had the no 31. Is it related to the 31 flavours?

Sun Microsystems
Designed by Vaughan Pratt of Stanford University, the logo reads Sun from all directions.





Thanks are due to Abhishek Choudhary who pointed out these fascinating logos to me! Thanks!

Attitude is Altitude

Here goes my first entry as I try to express my thoughts, views and other things worth sharing through this medium. This entry is dedicated to the man with the most motivating smile. Read on to know who.

The man is Nick Vujicic (google search link). If you haven't heard of him then see the google search link and you'll have tons of reading material available. He doesn't have limbs, yes, no hands and no legs. He not only lives a satisfied life but also helps others by motivating them and he is too good at it. Check it out for yourself - at this facebook link.

His site attitudeisaltitude.com hosts his life story. Check it out if the video interests you like it did to

People say to me, "How can you smile?" he says. Then they realize there's got to be something more to life than meets the eye if a guy without arms and legs is living a fuller life than I am.

Thats his spirit. And it rocks. Cheers dude!
