Stu Duerson, machina exo deusAn arrow?
I'd always thought it was a fallen tree, in honor of all of them killed to make FedEx boxes.

Frances LarinaJust curious but do we *know* it was intentional? I mean maybe some graphic artist is sitting in a bar reading this today saying, "Whoa, that's cool. Um, I mean, I totally did that intentionally".
Dave Bryant aka Tom_Clowder@Frances_Larina @georgetakei Yes. According to Designhill.com, it was designed by Lindon Leader of Landor Associates, and he incorporated the negative-space arrow deliberately.

That's cool but it's a blog from now and could be corporate revisionism. Is there any documentation showing the arrow was intentional from when it was created?
Wayne Dixon@georgetakei I did. I haven’t been able to unsee it for a long long time.

We've were waiting to break it to you, George.

Corax@georgetakei Just wait until you learn about the bear in the Toblerone logo
Duncan Idaho@Corax42
Ha, great - never saw that before (neither bear nor arrow) 
Robert M@georgetakei Never noticed it, but it's sitting there in plain sight. Now I'll be seeing it all the time.
Spocko@georgetakei
Everybody goes on about the arrow, but did you notice the spoon? Look at the lower case "e" in the Fed.
The person who created the logo, Lindon Leader, was really hungry when he made it.
Just kidding about the hunger, but it was created by Lindon Leader.

mmu_man@georgetakei ✋ (but someone told me years ago)
xs4me2Moving along…
Jaime Robertson@georgetakei But what about the knife in the e?
(which I just noticed)
Also have known about the arrow for years, I know a couple who were programmers in FedEx’s online tracking dept.
YouCanTooHow did you miss seeing the spoon in their logo
14mission@georgetakei Never mind the arrow--check out the bat signal on top over the e and d.

Nah, it's Guy Fawkes watching Willie Mays catch a flyball while an armored assault vehicle rolls past.
🇳🇱🇪🇺Jeroen🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦@georgetakei Ah, yes, the original example of “once you see it, you can’t NOT see it anymore”
fossiliteWait until you see the spoon...
Atkelar@georgetakei seen it. But I now also see a spoon in the "fed" part.
Grandpa Don@georgetakei
YIKES!!!
I had not heard of the arrow so I stared at it for a while thinking WTF? and then suddenly it leaped out at me.

Poncho V@georgetakei my 15 yo daughter told me about it a couple of years ago!
For me, the 'hidden' 3-letter word in this company logo was a 'once I saw it I couldn't go back to not seeing it' ...

Darkpaw@georgetakei I knew about the arrow, but did you notice the big round hole in the d? That's a portal to an alternate dimension where your parcels end up actually getting delivered.
