Logos can be seen everywhere in our lives. The clothes we wear, the phones we use, the food we buy – we are surrounded by logos. Some logos are very visual—a font or an image representation—and others are more complex.
We all know that logos represent our favorite brands, but never think about what else they mean. People never realize that there are many hidden meanings behind these famous symbols, so in this article, we will reveal the answers to you.
01. Beats headphones
The logo design of dre beats is very simple. The letter B is surrounded by a circle, followed by the brand name. But the circle is more than just a circle, it actually represents a human head, with the letter "B" representing the brand's headphones. This gives the brand a personal feel and allows customers to see themselves in the headphones.
02. Cisco (Cisco)
Cisco, named after its headquarters in San Francisco, is a global leader in Internet networking. While the name is not subtle, the blue stripes on the logo's text represent not only the electromagnet, but also San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
03. National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC)
The NBC logo has several meanings. It's obviously a peacock, but why is it designed that way? At the time the logo was designed, color TVs were being introduced (which explains the logo's colours) and the broadcast network hoped to use its logo to entice black and white TV manufacturers to make a change. So they used the term "peacock pride" to express their pride in the new color system. The different colored feathers represent NBC's six branches.
04. Amazon
Amazon is a giant in the online shopping industry, and this is also reflected in its logo. The yellow arrow in the logo starts at "a" and ends at "Z" to represent the various products sold by Amazon. At the same time, arrows also represent smiles, and arrowheads are unrealistic dimples or smile patterns. This smile means a pleasant shopping experience at Amazon.
05. BMW
The colors of the BMW logo are taken from the Bavarian flag, blue and white. The logo is based on that of Rapp Motor Works, which is very similar. It is generally believed that the BMW logo represents the blades of a propeller. This is because it originally started in the aviation industry and was inspired by one of its advertisements in the 1920s.
