Have you ever looked at logos and wondered what their meanings were or what inspired the designer? Here are16 famous logos with hidden meanings. You see them almost every day and now we will tell you what they represent.

Let's explore what these logos mean and the secret symbol each of them has. Below you will see the famous brands and famous logos, Inside each logo, you will find the huge mistakes they made exposing some company secrets.

1. Toyota & Its Famous Logo
Toyota unveiled its current logo in 1990, and it’s probably safe to say that they’re not going to retire it for quite a while. According to Toyota, the three ellipses symbolize “the unification of the hearts of our customers and the heart of Toyota products” and the background is for the brand’s “technological advancement and the boundless opportunities ahead.” So definitely not a holy nut.

BUT, it also has another hidden message… the logo actually includes every letter used in the company’s name.

2. Baskin-Robbins Logo Meaning
If you look at the “B” and the “R” on the company’s revamped 2006 logo, the curve of the “B” is a 3 and the first line in the “R” is a 1 to represent the 31 flavors nickname that has been with the company for over six decades.

3. BMW
The logo is basically an homage to Rapp’s old logo but, instead of a black horse in the middle, BMW used blue-and-white, the national colors of Bavaria.

4. Hyundai
The car manufacturer’s logo stands for the first letter of their name, right? Not only so, but it also represents a successful deal between a car dealer and a customer.

5. Beats
Letter B in the red circle shows a person wearing Beats headphones. I love listening to my Peter Frampton with these on!

The curved line under the Amazon logo is actually an arrow that starts at the “a” and points to “z,” meaning they sell everything from A-to-Z. Plus the arrow is actually smiling.

7. FedEx
“FedEx” hid a small arrow between letters E and x, which represents the forward momentum and efficiency.

8. Pinterest
The letter P in the logo is stylized to remind us of an actual pin.

9. Formula 1
People usually see the letter F separated from the number 1. But actually, the number is white, followed by the red flag.

10. Tour De France
Few actually notice a biker, smoothly incorporated into the title.

11. Northwest Airlines
The classic Northwest Airlines logo has a single N and a triangle that’s also a W created by the wonderful use of negative space. The triangle represents a compass and is pointing to, you guessed it, northwest.

12. Levi’s Jeans
Yep, that’s your bottom right there!

13. Alfa Romeo
Italian car manufacturer’s logo is jam-packed with stuff, the key feature being a serpent eating a man.

14. Unilever
According to Unilever, there are 25 mini logos inside of their logo, and “each icon has a rich meaning … and represents some aspect of our effort to make sustainable living commonplace.” Unilever’s logo is actually made up of icons representing different aspects of sustainable living.

15. Toblerone
“Toblerone” chocolates come from Switzerland and they really make it show not only by having Bern ( the city where Toblerone is made) in the name but also a bear’s silhouette placed inside the mountain logo.

16. Quicksilver
It’s actually a stylized version of famous woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
