Quite a few. The most recent well-known one is people often now using 'literally' to mean 'figuratively,' but there are other examples-
Seeing them side by side, the newer Microsoft logo sucks ass.
Imo, it peaked at 2001.
these are windows logos, not MS itself, and this is out of date, current windows logo as of 2021:
also i want to put the 2006 one in my mouth 👅
Did you know FedEx has an arrow in the negative space, representing their quickness, precision, the pursuit of excellence and tenacity in the face of adversity?
You have been promoted to Director of Marketing. Clowngratulations
Super neat to know this! I wonder if we can examine other corporate logos and see what hidden messages they have!
Checks Ubisoft and Hewlett-Packard logos
Huh. There’s something odd about the logos for both these companies. All I see is “negative”, not even “negative space”. Is it normal for the company to just be completely negative, or am I misreading the logo?
