I only found this out today when the missus pointed it out and it blew my mind. I'm amazed i never picked up on this before.



LOOK AT IT!!! JUST LOOK AT IT'S BEAUTY!!!!

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I never notice stuff like that. It actually took me most of my life to realise that there was a 'z' in the NZI logo.

Wow a thread about Logo design, from non designers, makes me happy. This is the stuff that I really like, graphic wit. Here are some other amazing use of negative space in logo design.

And to shameless plug myself, and a design by Wellington designer Colin Simon.

Took me a little while to find actually, but it is so obvious!

My fave:



Hartford Whalers, former NHL team (relocated to become the Carolina Hurricanes in the 90s). Negative space between the whale tail and the W forms a H for Hartford.

(Always knew about FedEx and NZI, but didn't spot the Kiwis in the CCC logo until someone mentioned them)

Based on the Canterbury logo above, I can't believe I never saw the Kiwis when I first came to NZ. Now I can barely see the C's in the logo!

And, FedEx, you got me there too, I had never seen that arrow before, and I've watched Tom Hanks' Cast Away movie at least twice!

Went to show my wife, she knew there were kiwis, but was shocked to discover 3 C's!

Yeah that's quite a fun quiz. Once you get the answer you think "how didn't I get that"

Got 18 on first try.
