«The Subliminal Arrow»

It will haunt you for the rest of your life. I present to you, the FedEx logo:
FedEx Express Logo
Don't see it? I'll outline it and shade it in for you:
FedEx Express Logo with the arrow outlined
It's in the whitespace between the E and the x. It was intentional, the designer Mr. Lindon Leader even recreated the font so a perfect arrow would form there. I tell you what, my eye immediately goes to the arrow whenever I see the logo. It's almost distracting...

You can read the full interview about the logo here: The Man Behind the FedEx Logo

    I've never noticed it before, and yes it is kinda annoying to know.

    But then I saw this and totally thought of you....

    ... I feel better now.

  5. @ Anonymous (#5): I've always seen that as a butter knife... I'm no psychoanalyst, but I think people try to assign more meaning to things than they should.

    If you see a penis, then that's just the shape you see. It is not an indicator of your subconscious sexual orientation or anything.
