17 Fantastic Logos With Hidden Images And Meanings

2011-04-13T19:32:00.003+05:30

Toblerone
Toblerone is a chocolate-company from Bern, Switzerland. Bern is sometimes called The City Of Bears. They have incorporated this idea in the Toblerone logo, because if you look closely, you’ll see the silhouette of a bear.

Tostitos
If you look at the center of this logo, you can see two people enjoying a Tostito chip with a bowl of salsa. This logo conveys an idea of people connecting with each other.

Formula 1
At first, this logo might not make much sense. But if you look closely, you’ll see the number 1 in the negative space between the F and the red stripes. I also love how this logo communicates a feeling of speed.

Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers is a professional baseball team from Milwaukee, Wisconsin (well, duh). Their logo is actually made up of the letters M (on top) and B (below the m). These two letters also form a baseball glove.

Northwest Airlines
This simple looking logo actually carries a lot of information. First of all you can see the letters N and W, the first two letters of the brand name. But what most people don’t see is the compass that points to the Northwest, another reference to the brand name.

Amazon
This logo doesn’t seem to hide much at first sight, but it gives you a little insight in the philosophy behind the brand. First of all, the yellow swoosh looks like a smile: Amazon wants to have the best customer satisfaction. The swoosh also connects the letters a and z, meaning that this store has everything from A to Z.

Baskin Robins
The old logo of Baskin Robbins had the number 31 with an arc above it. The new logo took this idea to the next level. The pink parts of the BR still form the number 31, a reference to the 31 flavors.

Sony Vaio
Sony Vaio is a well known brand of laptops. But did you know that the name Vaio logo also had a hidden meaning? Well, the first two letters represent the basic analogue signal. The last two letters look like a 1 and 0, representing the digital signal.

Eight
I really love this logo: every letter is made of the number 8.

Carrefour
Carrefour is one of the biggest European retailers, and it’s also French for crossroads. The logo symbolizes this word via two opposite arrows. They also added the first letter of the name, because if you look closely you’ll see the letter C in the negative space between the two arrows.

Loading...

Roxy
Roxy is a company that specializes in clothing and accessories for girls who love snowboarding and surfing. The company is actually a part of Quiksilver. The Roxy logo is made of two Quiksilver logos that form a heart.

Unilever
Unilever is one of the biggest producers of food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. They produce a huge amount of different products and they wanted to reflect this in their logo. Each part of the logo has a meaning. For example: the heart represents love, care and health – feeling good, a bird is a symbol of freedom. Relief from daily chores getting more out of life.

Hartford Whalers

This logo also uses a negative space to create the letter H. You can see three different parts: the letter H and W and a whales tail in blue.

Elefont
This logo might looks like a simple letter, but don’t be fooled: you can see a part of an elephant’s trunk in the negative space inside the letter e.

Sun Microsystems
The Sun logo is one of the most famous ambigrams in the world. You can read the brand name in every direction; both horizontally and vertically. This logo was designed by professor Vaughan Pratt of the Stanford University.

NBC
The NBC (National Broadcasting Company) is one of the biggest American television networks. I think most of you have already seen the peacock in this logo. The peacock has 6 different tail feathers, referring to the six divisions at the time that this logo was created. The peacock’s head is flipped to the right to suggest it was looking forward, not back.

GreenLabs
I know this logo looks like a simple, boring green tree, but if you look at the tree crown, you’ll see that it can also be interpreted as a brain. The logo lays emphasis on the strong intellectual capabilities of the company’s staff and also reflects green and labs parts of their name.

A double line arrow is hidden in the Nextel logo.

మన హీరోల పరీక్ష రాయటానికి వచ్చారు. వచ్చి ఎవరి టాలెంట్ వాళ్ళు చూపించారు.
పరిక్ష మొదలైన 10 నిమిషాల తరువాత వచ్చాడు మహేష్ బాబు ఏంటి బాబు లేట్ అంటే ..

*మహేష్:* ఎప్పుడు వచ్చామని కాదు అన్నయ్య పరీక్ష రాశామా లేదా ..? అని వెళ్ళి కూర్చున్నాడు.d (వెనకున్న చిరంజీవి బ్రదర్ ఇది తీసుకో అని స్లిప్ ఇచ్చాడు మహేష్ థాంక్స్ చెబితే)

*చీరంజీవి:* థాంక్స్ కాదు బ్రదర్ ఆ స్లిప్ ను మూడు చేసి ముగ్గురికి ఇవ్వు, ఆ ముగ్గురుని ఇంకో ముగ్గురకు ఇవ్వమని చెప్పు అలా మొత్తం స్లిప్ లు మయం చేయండి.
(అనగానే పక్కనే వున్న రామ్ చరణ్ అందుకుని)

*రామ్ చరణ్: *ఒక్కొకటి కాదు నాన్న, వంద స్లిప్పులు ఒక్కసారి పంపించు 300 వందలమందికి పంచుతా..
(అని కూర్చున్నాడు. అప్పుడు సాయికుమార్ వచ్చి)

*సాయికుమార్: *కనిపించే మూడు పేపర్లు .. OMR పేపర్, క్వశ్చన్ పేపర్, ఆన్సర్ పేపర్ అయితే కనిపించని ఆ నాలుగో పేపరేరా స్లిప్...స్లిప్...స్లిప్.
(అని తన స్లిప్ తను తీసుకుని కూర్చున్నాడు.)

స్లిప్ప్పులు ఎక్కువై కోపం వచ్చిన బాలకృష్ణ

*బాలకృష్ణ:* ఒరేయ్ .. నేను కాపీ కొట్టడం మొదలుపెడితే.... ఏ ప్రశ్నకి ఏ జవాబు రాసానో కనుక్కోవడానికి వారం పట్టిద్ది. మర్యాదగా ఏ ప్రశ్నకు ఏ స్లిప్పో సరిగ్గా చెప్పండి.

(అన్నాడు. ఈ లోపు ఎగ్జామ్ స్క్వాడ్ వచ్చి పేపర్లు లాక్కుని అందరినీ బయటకు పంపారు. ఇన్ఫర్మేషన్ ఎవరు ఇచ్చారా...అని అందరు ఆలోచిస్తుంటే, అందరికన్నా చివరన వచ్చాడు రవితేజ )

*రవితేజ: *ఇన్ఫర్మేషన్ ఎవరు ఇచ్చారా.. అనేగా మీ డవుటు.... నేనే...ఇచ్చా...!
ఊరికినే కాపీ కొడితే.... కిక్ ఏముంది నా అప్పడం. అందుకే స్క్వాడ్ ను పిలిచా..!
అని అక్కడి నుండి పరిగెత్తాడు. పట్టుకోవడానికి రవితేజ వెనకాల పడ్డారు మిగిలిన అందరు.

Top 10 most toxic foods

2011-01-20T16:41:00.002+05:30

Top 10 most toxic foods
10 surprisingly toxic common foods

While most people know that cakes and chocolate aren’t great for your health,
there are other seemingly healthy foods whose dangerous properties slip under the radar.
While it is unlikely moderate amounts of these foods will harm you, in large quantities –
or in certain conditions – they may do more damage to your health than you think.
Here are some of the most toxic common foods.

(1) Mushrooms

While mushrooms available in most supermarkets should be pretty safe to eat, mushroom fans need to be careful about what species' they are consuming as many varieties can be highly dangerous and even fatal.

Around 100 species of mushrooms are said to be dangerous to humans, with symptoms ranging from headaches to seizures or even death.In 2010 a small variety of mushroom called the Little White was blamed for an estimated 400 deaths in China.

(2) Chillies
Chillies are renowned for their heat, which is what makes them so popular.
However, it is actually the chemical that causes this spiciness (capsaicin)

which can cause toxic effects such as stomach pain, itchy skin and, in extreme cases, death.For most people eating chillies will do little harm, however capsaicin is best eaten sparingly so make sure to take it easy and avoid any chilli eating challenges!

(3) Rapeseed oil
There has been much controversy about this seemingly innocent natural oil,but the general consensus seems to be that it could have many negative implications on our health.
Reports state that the rape plant - from which the oil is produced - is extremely toxic, and side effects of consuming its oil could include respiratory problems and blindness.

(4) Rice
It is impossible to dispute that rice has many great health benefits.

However, like with most things, it may be best eaten in moderation

due to its reportedly unsafe levels of arsenic. One study has suggested that one in five packs of American long-grain rice contain potentially harmful levels of the toxic substance, while others have reported concern for the levels of arsenic in rice milk and baby rice.

While there is relatively little risk of the odd bowl of rice causing any long lasting harm, the consumption of high levels of arsenic has been linked to cancer.

(5) Nutmeg

Perhaps one of the most immediately dangerous foods on this list is also one of the most surprising, and that is the common store cupboard spice, nutmeg. Although, like many of the foods on the list,nutmeg does have reported health benefits, it can also be extremely dangerous when taken in large doses.

Containing a toxic substance called myristicin, moderate proportions of nutmeg can cause hallucinations, while larger doses can cause convulsions, palpitations, nausea, dehydration and death.

(6) Non-organic apples

Although it is advisable to buy as much organic fruit and veg as you can,

in reality this is hard to do on most people's budgets.

When making decisions over whether or not to go organic, it is important therefore to note that some foods have a higher concentration of pesticides than others, and apples are one of the fruits that top this list. Because apples are vulnerable to insect infestations and growths, growers are liable to coat the fruit in chemical pesticides and fungicides, some of which will absorb into its flesh. To minimise health risks, try to buy organic apples wherever possible, or at least remove the skin before eating.

(7) Farmed Salmon

We may be constantly urged to eat more oily fish, but research has suggested that consuming farmed salmon may not be the best way to do it. A study found that 13 different toxins - including PCBs, which have been classed as a probable human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - are at much higher levels in farm-raised salmon than in wild salmon.

Due to the possible health dangers of consuming these toxins, it is advisable to either reduce your portions of farmed salmon (guidelines are for a half to two portions a month, depending on where the salmon is from) or switch to the wild variety.

(8) Microwave popcorn

Although eating microwave popcorn is not believed to be particularly harmful, it has been found that butter flavoured versions of the snack contain a dangerous chemical (diacetyl) in the flavouring which releases toxic fumes when microwaved.

While this has mainly affected factory workers so far - with many developing a lung condition dubbed "popcorn lung" - one consumer is now known to have also developed lung problems due to this toxin.

However, this is clearly a case of moderation being key, with the sufferer admitting to eating microwave popcorn at least twice a day for 10 to 12 years. Unless you are eating your popcorn in similar quantities, it is most likely safe to consume popcorn at home,just be careful to avoid the fumes when opening the bag.

(9) Potatoes
Potatoes may look innocent enough, but did you know they actually come from

the same family as poisonous plant the deadly nightshade?

Although they are not quite as dangerous as this family member, potatoes do pose

certain risks to our health due to them containing toxic compounds known as glycoalkaloids, the most worrying of which is solanine which affects the nervous and digestive systems, causing headaches, weakness, confusion, diarrhoea and vomiting amongst other things.Poisoning from potatoes occurs very rarely but fans of the popular vegetable should take measures to protect themselves by avoiding potatoes with sprouts - which tend to have a higher concentration of glycoalkaloids - and those which have turned green.

Although the green colour of the potatoes is harmless in itself, it does indicate that the potatoes have been exposed to light, which can also encourage solanine levels to rise over the safe level

for consumption.

(10) Peanuts

Not only are peanuts one of the most common food allergens, but the popular snack may also be dangerous to those who don't suffer from allergies. Peanuts are particularly best avoided by those with kidney or gallbladder problems as they contain oxalates which can crystallise and cause kidney and gallbladder stones.However, even for the rest of us peanuts can be toxic due to their susceptibility to mould and the frequently occurring presence of aflatoxin - a highly toxic carcinogen - that is produced by a fungus called Aspergillus flavus invading the nuts.If you simply can't resist snacking on peanuts, try to purchase ones produced in arid areas -

such as New Mexico -where the soil is dry and the risk of aflatoxins is lower.

మన హీరోల పరీక్ష రాయటానికి వచ్చారు. వచ్చి ఎవరి టాలెంట్ వాళ్ళు చూపించారు.
పరిక్ష మొదలైన 10 నిమిషాల తరువాత వచ్చాడు మహేష్ బాబు ఏంటి బాబు లేట్ అంటే ..

*మహేష్:* ఎప్పుడు వచ్చామని కాదు అన్నయ్య పరీక్ష రాశామా లేదా ..? అని వెళ్ళి కూర్చున్నాడు.d (వెనకున్న చిరంజీవి బ్రదర్ ఇది తీసుకో అని స్లిప్ ఇచ్చాడు మహేష్ థాంక్స్ చెబితే)

*చీరంజీవి:* థాంక్స్ కాదు బ్రదర్ ఆ స్లిప్ ను మూడు చేసి ముగ్గురికి ఇవ్వు, ఆ ముగ్గురుని ఇంకో ముగ్గురకు ఇవ్వమని చెప్పు అలా మొత్తం స్లిప్ లు మయం చేయండి.
(అనగానే పక్కనే వున్న రామ్ చరణ్ అందుకుని)

*రామ్ చరణ్: *ఒక్కొకటి కాదు నాన్న, వంద స్లిప్పులు ఒక్కసారి పంపించు 300 వందలమందికి పంచుతా..
(అని కూర్చున్నాడు. అప్పుడు సాయికుమార్ వచ్చి)

*సాయికుమార్: *కనిపించే మూడు పేపర్లు .. OMR పేపర్, క్వశ్చన్ పేపర్, ఆన్సర్ పేపర్ అయితే కనిపించని ఆ నాలుగో పేపరేరా స్లిప్...స్లిప్...స్లిప్.
(అని తన స్లిప్ తను తీసుకుని కూర్చున్నాడు.)

స్లిప్ప్పులు ఎక్కువై కోపం వచ్చిన బాలకృష్ణ

*బాలకృష్ణ:* ఒరేయ్ .. నేను కాపీ కొట్టడం మొదలుపెడితే.... ఏ ప్రశ్నకి ఏ జవాబు రాసానో కనుక్కోవడానికి వారం పట్టిద్ది. మర్యాదగా ఏ ప్రశ్నకు ఏ స్లిప్పో సరిగ్గా చెప్పండి.

మరోపక్క స్లిప్పులు దొరక్క ఎగబడుతున్న వాళ్ళను పక్కకు నెట్టిన ప్రభాస్

*ప్రభాస్: *వాడు పొతే వీడు, వీడు పొతే నేను, నేను పొతే నా అమ్మామొగుడు అని ఎవరైనా స్లిప్ కోసం ఎగబడితే ... దెబ్బకో తలకాయ్ చొప్పున బెంచిలకి బలవుతాయి అని స్లిప్పు తెచ్చుకు రాసుకుంటున్నాడు.

*యన్.టి.ఆర్ *బుద్దిగా తన స్లిప్పు తను రాసుకుంటుంటే ఎవడో వచ్చి స్లిప్పు లాక్కోబోతే వాడి చెయ్యి గట్టిగా పట్టుకుని

*జూ|| యన్.టి.ఆర్ : *రేయ్... సాఫ్ట్ గా లవర్ బాయ్ లాగా ఉన్నాడు అనుకుంటూన్నవేమో ... లోపల ఒరిజినల్ అలాగే ఉంది. స్లిప్పు వదల్లేదో ..... రచ్చ..రచ్చే..!
(అన్నాడు. ఈ లోపు ఎగ్జామ్ స్క్వాడ్ వచ్చి పేపర్లు లాక్కుని అందరినీ బయటకు పంపారు. ఇన్ఫర్మేషన్ ఎవరు ఇచ్చారా...అని అందరు ఆలోచిస్తుంటే, అందరికన్నా చివరన వచ్చాడు రవితేజ )

*రవితేజ: *ఇన్ఫర్మేషన్ ఎవరు ఇచ్చారా.. అనేగా మీ డవుటు.... నేనే...ఇచ్చా...!
ఊరికినే కాపీ కొడితే.... కిక్ ఏముంది నా అప్పడం. అందుకే స్క్వాడ్ ను పిలిచా..!
అని అక్కడి నుండి పరిగెత్తాడు. పట్టుకోవడానికి రవితేజ వెనకాల పడ్డారు మిగిలిన అందరు.
