Top 10 Famous Logos, Which Have A Hidden Meaning
Logos are the best way to represent your company in a single small image. A clean and eye-catching logo might even increase the popularity of your company. But not all logos are just a mean for representing your company, some logos also have a meaning or a motive hidden in them, which are not recognizable on the first look. Here are the Top 10 logos with hidden meaning.
1. Amazon
You might have wondered the reason of the arrow in Amazon’s logo, pointing from a to z. The real reason for the presence of the arrow is to show that all things from a-z are present for retail at Amazon. On afterthoughts, that arrow also represents a smiling face.
2. Apple
The Apple’s logo simply shows a bitten Apple as the fruit from the “Tree of knowledge” in the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible.
3. IBM
The white lines crossing through the IBM in the lower right in Big Blue’s logo, highlight the shape of “Equal” sign, therefore giving the message of “Equality”.
4. Mobil
The simple yet meaningful logo of Mobil is made of red and blue colors. The red color in it shows strengthwhile the blue colors is a mean of showing faithfulness and security in the company.
5. FedEx
The FedEx logo, though quite simple has a powerful meaning hidden it. If you look closely at the red Ex in the logo, you’ll realize that the white space between E and x is an arrow pointing towards the right. This right or forward arrow highlights the importance of moving forwards towards the feature.
6. Audi
I have always wondered about the four circles in Audi’s logo. Now I have come to know that those four circles are there to to show the 4 companies: DKW, Horch, Wanderer and Audi, that were part of the Auto-Union Consortium in 1932.
7. BMW
The famous car manufacture, BMW’s circle logo shows a propeller of a plane in motion, while the blue color represents the sky. This is because BMW was a the manufacturer for engines for the German military planes in World War II.
8. Mercedes-Benz
The rounded logo of Mercedes-Benz with a three-cornered star in between, has three white spaces which represent land, sky and sea. The meaning of this is that Mercedes-Benz is dominant over them all.
9. Toyota
The world-famous Japanese manufacturer’s logo, shows three ellipses. Each eclipse representing the heart of customer, the heart of the product and the heart of technological progress and limitless opportunities of the future.
10. Volkswagen
The German automobile manufacturer, Volkswagen has a logo with two letters engraved on it, “V” representing the Volks, which means people and “W” representing the “wagen” meaning car.

Most Dangerous Cities in The World
There are some cities that are tourist havens and on the must-visit list of everyone, but some places must be avoided at all costs, featuring regularly in the list of most dangerous cities in the world. A lot of factors contribute towards making a city dangerous – law and order failure in most cases.
Most dangerous cities in the world – put them on your must avoid list. Economic and political conditions, efficiency of law and order and the level of crime all contribute towards making a city dangerous. Given below is a list of the top ten most dangerous cities on Earth from both developed and undeveloped countries.
We begin with the city of Detroit. Those who have seen the 2008 Clint Eastwood movie “Gran Torino” have an idea of what happens in the city. Large sections of this once very prosperous city are being abandoned by residents and this has led to a drastic drop in real estate prices. Hence a lot of poor immigrants from poor countries have started inhabiting these houses that are available for dead cheap, leading to a lot of gang wars.
The Top Leaks of WikiLeaks
Cablegate
It’s been quite a year for whistleblowing website Wikileaks. Its latest info dump, a treasure trove of diplomatic cables spanning the world, has caused an international uproar. U.S. politicians like Hillary Clinton and New York Congressman Peter King (pictured) called the leak a threat to global security, with King going so far as calling for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to be prosecuted under the Espionage Act and for his site to be deemed a foreign terrorist organization.
Lil Wayne’s The Leak
Most musicians get upset when their albums leak to the Internet, but not Lil Wayne. When several tracks off his then upcoming album Tha Carter III surfaced on the Internet in 2007, the rapper responded by pushing back Carter’s release date and issuing the leaked tracks as their own separate album, appropriately titled The Leak. The album’s cover art even incorporated the phrase “Lil Wayne Approved.” At least someone in the music industry still has a sense of humor.
