As a graphic designer, it feels great to find my customers so convinced about the power of a logo and what benefits it can earn them. However, I would say it is not just enough getting a simple logo designed for the sake of just having it. Now its time to make your logo design more exceptional and I am sure other designers will agree with me:)

Yes, I want you all to ask your designers make your logo look more conceptual and clever using the graphic designing tricks. As it is said, a logo should not be a plain looking symbol…it should reflect you and your company’s personality.

The final result of a cleverly designed logo often appears to be very simple making it difficult for the customers to accept the high cost of their no-frills logo.

Therefore, I have compiled some famous logos here which will help you notice that a meaningful logo can leave an eternal impression on the customers.

I am sure it will be fun studying these below given logos and will definitely tempt you to think out of the box. Let’s see if you can figure out the hidden symbols….get started!!


Here is the list:- 1. It is a logo design for a high end day spa… the hands effectively convey relaxing massage integrated with the proximity of the “owl eyes” to clearly say “wisdom”.



2. Being an Online Food Delivery service, its logo shows a fork formed into an @ symbol! Such a easy logo to remember.Designer - Bojan Stefanovic


3. The Big Ten collegiate conference has eleven schools but they didn’t want to change their name. However, they used their logo to hide the numerical “11” in the name.

4. This famous logo is extremely clean and simple but this arrow might not look like more than a smile to you. Before, coming to any conclusions I would like you to know the concept behind this…it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer’s face.


5. Designer - Josiah Jost The designer of ED Logo – “Elettro Domestici -Home Appliances” in English, changed the concept of traditional logo designing through this logo. The designer has amazingly used the negative space to demonstrate the letter “E” and “D” making the logo look like an electric plug.

6. This logo is too good to be ignored….it is very cleverly designed with a typeface where every letter is a variation of number 8. Nothing better have been thought.




7. Designer - Toni It is a company which designs compact tractors. The letters “E” and “H” make up the image of a tractor.


8. One of my favorite chocolates…yummy!! But trust me I never noticed the brilliant logo while enjoying my bar. You must be thinking what is there to find out as it clearly shows the Swiss Alps? Let me explain…Toblerone originated in Bern, Switzerland - A city whose name is rumored to mean, “City of bears”. When you look at it again you will find a bear in the logo.



9. What better logo can be used to symbolize a marriage with two mirrored “R” in the middle. No frills, no shadows, still so powerful and meaningful.



10. Although it is quiet evident but still I liked the concept a lot. Two musical notes are bent in a way to make a heart and and headphns. The softness of this logo expresses “Love for Music“


11. The complexity of this logo is its beauty. It is a business and IT consulting company based in the UK and the logo is a combination of numeric and alphabets to explain the word “intricate”.



12. You would say you have seen it thousand times but just to make you notice an arrow formed between the letters “E” and “X” conveying speed, direction and reliability of this amazing courier service.


13. Designer - Sean Farrell Logo Design: When you take off a piece of the “v” in the word “review” it forms a check mark (for review). Simply amazing!!



14. If you’ve ever visited one of the famous stores in Paris - Galeries Lafayette, you will notice that it’s logo represents Paris with its joined letters “t” to form Eiffel Tower. C’est magnificique!


15. Designer - Maumer As “Pakuay” is a packaging company, so the logo shows a broken down box in the shape of the letter “P”



16. The logo shows 3 concepts at the same time. A whale’s tail, letter “W” in green and the white space forming an “H” for Hartford.



17. Designer - Mike Erickson Zip - The “I” has been replaced with a zipper to connect the Z & P



18. Notice carefully…the VIA rail Canada logo makes two train tracks with the letters” V” and the “A”. The alphabet “I” is the division between the two. A simply brilliant logo.



19. You will notice here how cleverly designer have integrated a bed with the letter “M” to come up with a logo for an organization of doctor’s dealing with sleep issues.



20.It is a logo for Architecture Center Of Budapest and looks more like a maze but if you follow the white space, the four lettered company name will become evident.


21. Designer: Jason Cho The designer gives the message in a subtle but evident manner by shaping piano keys like trees to resemble a keyboard/piano.



22.The logo reflected a clever way of splitting the alphabets, N and W (north west) along with a location pointed to by the red triangle in the upper left corner. The redesign lost the charm of the original.




23. Designer:Josiah Jost This could be defined as real creativity…A regular film reel turned to look like a scary ghost for a production house.



24.At first glance the logo may look like a simple picture of a young girl doing her yoga exercise but if you watch it carefully the body posture is creating the Australia Map.


25. Guys, now comes the most fascinating one…good job. When “Google” celebrated its 25 years of TCP/IP it revealed its logo with hidden year “2008” Now its time to be honest and give yourself some points…. how many of these hidden symbols you have noticed before? And if you think you are too good at it and these conceptual logos were not new for you then don’t hesitate to jump in and share some other good ones with us.
