Whether you're cruising down the aisles of the grocery store, or speeding down the freeway, you're guaranteed to come across a few famous logos. Take one glance at any one of these logos and you instantly recognize the brand, but did you know there's sometimes a hidden message buried in them? It's surprising, but true.
Here are 17 famous logos that have a hidden message. Take a look:
1. VAIO
At first you just see the word VAIO, but look a little closer and you'll see the first two letters represent an analog symbol and the last two letters are binary.
2. Baskin Robbins
Take a look at what's highlighted in pink. Look familiar? It's a 31, which is the number of flavors they offer.
3. Formula 1
Between the letter F and the speed marks is the number one.
