Famous logos with hidden messages
Apple
Rob Danoff, the designer who came up with the world famous Apple company logo explained his idea in one of his interviews. He bought a bag of apples, placed them in a bowl, and spent time drawing them for a week, trying to break the images down into something simple. Taking a bite out of an apple was part of his experiment. Completely by coincidence he realized that “bite” sounded exactly the same as the computer tern “Byte”.
