lol, vulnerable to subliminal advertising because you happened to learn about negative space in art class.

One clever one I never noticed until it was pointed out to me, years after the first time I saw it was the old Hartford Whalers hockey team logo. The W is obvious, the H not as much.

What? If anything I noticed the H before the W. :drunk:

Could someone point out just how the red part looks like a 1? Like, take it apart, with a nice little guide or something? I simply can't see it.

Can't tell if your joking or not :) Just in case you aren't look at the space between the F and the Red part :D

It's always looked like a more elongated and styled number 1 from the Beatles album to me, plus I never really studied the white part of the logo. To add an excuse, some people have left-sided brain dominance and others are right-sided which can affect problem-solving etc. Although, the Carrefour logo I've always noticed the C in the white part as there's nothing else that resembles a C in the logo.

Oh, I've always seen the white 1. It's the red 1 that keeps getting mentioned that I just don't see.

I always saw the "1" in the F1 logo, but didn't see the Fedex arrow until someone pointed it out to me yesterday, as coincidence may chance.

I was one of the people who hadn't noticed the negative space 1 until this thread was originally started. In my defence, my eye has always been drawn to the red/Bahrain flag 1, as the extreme serrations make it more visually noticeable.

I've had no problem with any of the other logos posted in this thread (including logos I was familiar with before they were posted here). In my opinion, the F1 logo is badly designed because the distraction of the vaguely 1-shaped object on the right outweighs the cleverness of using the negative space. Also, I don't like the look of the F and the 1 crammed so closely together.

For some reason that Hartford Whalers picture set off my Malware detector and my firewall....


Anyways, I never noticed the 1 either. I think the only place where I see that logo is with a black background, which would make it less obvious to see in the pre-race/post-race title screens.

Well, marketing people only have one thing on their mind I guess :well: . Whoever designed the one below was just asking to have it vandalized.

Never noticed the 1 in F1 before, it took me ages to see the C in Carrefour posted earlier, and I still can't see the Fedex arrow. Fingers crossed no-one starts using these things for anything important!

Look in the bottom half of the 'E' and the left of the 'x' in E x. The white space forms an arrow pointing right. Hope this helps :up:

There isn't a red one. The odd shaped 'F' should be an obvious clue.

There is a red "1". Its been done like that if people cant see the negative space in between the "F" and the red "1" then they still think it says "F1". As many people have proved in this thread, they assumed the red bit is the "1", but there are actually two of them, so you can look at it either way

thats what i think anyways
