Huh. I just noticed that London looks a lot like New York City, only rotated 90 degrees, mirrored, and with the Tube Circle line standing in for the Hudson river. I never thought of that before.
London. NYC. London flipped and rotated.
Yeah, it only took me 35 years to see that. And I know both cities well.
What have you noticed recently?
The Kansas City Chiefs’ logo: “KC.”
I was facepalmingly dumb. I looked at it for a long time, seeing the red lines, intersecting on a white arrowhead - “is that some Native American drawing? Tribal pattern? What ***is ***that?”
Many days later, it finally hit me: “They’re letters, of course! KC!”
The arrow in the FedEx logo. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. But an amazing number of people have seen the logo without ever noticing the embedded icon.
The robot reading a book when you flip over the Chicago Bulls logo.
Well, I’ve got that in my head now forever. Thanks for that.
Hey Morbo, did you discover that robot yourself or did someone show it to you? It’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
Until I was in my 50s, whenever I would open the screw cap of a soda bottle and it would spray out, I would rush to the sink to try to avoid getting much on the floor, carpet, walls, me, etc. One day, I suddenly thought ‘Oh, I can just re-tighten the cap.’
No idea why that thought never occurred before.

I’m not trying to mock you here. But are you talking about this logo? And you somehow didn’t notice it was the letters K and C? How is that possible?
The Dodge Viper logo. Turn it upside down. It’s Daffy Duck.
All I see is Guy Fawkes watching Willie Mays catch a foul ball while an armored assault vehicle rolls past.
It was viewed from a somewhat different angle, and it was a photo in a rather yellowish light.
Also, I tend to look at parts and not the whole, and have a hard time recognizing some visual images. I’m just odd.
Hoboken (home of Frank Sinatra) = Abbey Road Studios … Okay, that works.
For the three people left who still hasn’t seen this…
I made a little graphic to post here several years ago, and it’s apparently still around.
My contribution (though a bit dated): the reel change marks in the upper right corner of 35mm movie prints. They would flash on the screen 10-seconds and 2-seconds before the end of the reel. When I was a projectionist, those days were long gone and we just spliced the whole darned thing into one long film, but it was amazing when I first was shown the dots—they had been lurking there, unseen, for my whole life.
Pfffft that’s nothing. You know those macho Dodge Ram Trucks with this logo? Macho, right?
Um, nope it’s a uterus.
Albert Hall is in the same place as the Met. That’s cool. Then there’s a lot of rich people between the park and the river. Of course, the respective Sohos and Chelseas are in completely different places, sorry about that. Also, Times Square isn’t really close to Trafalgar Square. I guess this only works when it works.
The Miami Heat logo plumb sure looks like truck ‘nads. Them bein’ lasso’ed don’t help the picture none.
IOW, it’s a picture of a bull about to become a gelding, or whatever the correct term is for castrated male bovine. Proof that the target demographic down here is really the rural FL redneck crowd. Maybe they were hinting that they’d become the arch nemesis of the Chicago Bulls?
You know those weird blobby things psychiatrists use in TV? It took me a few times before I noticed it, but they’re all my parents fighting!
Stolen, possibly from someone on this very board.
As a very young child, I thought the NY Yankees logo was some sort of meaningless glyph.
