We all know about the subtly clever
But I clearly spent too much time looking at pert bottoms over the weekend and noticed this on the TdF - I thought it was actually quite clever and glaringly obvious once spotted...

The arrow above the N makes it look like a compass point...

If you turn it upside down you get the coordinates of the Garmin headquarters. v subtle. I like it.

Simple but marvellous given what their products do (theres a big hint)

That's it? Given MFs lead in, I was staring at it like a magic eye pic waiting for a pert bottom to appear.

Exactly - satnav products and a compass point on the logo. I must have seen it thousands of times but never twigged until Saturday.
I bet that was one of those 'knock off early chaps, we've sorted the logo' moments when the designer came up with that.

BTW - the pert bottoms reference was to the fact the riders (not sure what team) have the logo on the back of their shorts.

When I got my first Garmin GPS (a Geko) the only waypoint stored in it was that of Garmins HQ. Do they still do that?
Oh - and I'm another who has seen that logo countless times (I even have a Garmin cycle jersey) and it's never clicked.

Yes, they still do it. I wonder if there's a geocache there?
And I also had never noticed it until this thread

E&X make an arrow
And of course, FedEx move things so the left to right arrow signifies positive movement - it only works because of the relevance to their core business, just like the Garmin one does. There is an interesting article out there somewhere from the guys who came up with the logo.Posted 10 months ago # -

You think I'm going to post it up here to be ridiculed to the point of inducing suicide? GTFOOH! x

I reckon they just wrote FedEx in that font and then later suddenly realised that it made an arrow.. so they pretended that they meant it all along by writing white papers about it.

It incorporates a blouson shirt and wet breeches!
Actually, anybody fancy knocking up a new one for me? Mine does need refreshing and mrs deadly can't be arsed

Depends, do you lay paving slabs?
Posted 10 months ago # -
I would do it for free but given your wife is a designer but can't be arsed, I don't see why I should be
