Clever Logos With Hidden Symbolism IV

Hi, Folks 
Today I've got collection of Logos with hidden symbolism in them. 

Well I gues most of us know what logo is 

Just a small defination What is logo
   A logo is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark).

All Logo designers out there this could be inspiration for you guys for future or upcoming designs. 



1) Circus of Magazines

 

Seriously this clear and perfectly designed by taking into consideration the name i.e. Circus of Magazines.Circus tent looks like a magazine (more like a book to me, but still very clever). (Designer:logotomy)

Shape of the F1 Logo: 
The F1 logo is one of the most famous and creative sports logos ever created. The negative space in the middle of the logo creates the “1″. The F1 logo is brilliantly relevant to the brand and communicates its essence, i.e. speed and energy, in a highly effective yet aesthetically pleasing and energetically well-integrated manner.
Color of the F1 Logo: 
The F1 logo features red and black colors on a white background. The red color represents passion and energy, while the black color represents power and determination.


3) FedEx



 If you look closer you’ll notice the right-pointing arrow in between the ‘E’ and the ‘x’, representing precision and speed at which FedEx works.

FedEx Corporation, originally known as FDX Corporation, is an American global courier delivery services company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The name "FedEx" is a syllabic abbreviation of the name of the company's original air division, Federal Express, which was used from 1973 until 2000.

The original "FedEx" logo had the Ex in orange; it is now used as the FedEx Express wordmark. The FedEx wordmark is notable for containing a hidden right-pointing arrow in the negative space between the "E" and the "X", which was achieved by designing a proprietary font, based on Univers and Futura, to emphasize the arrow shape.

FedEx Logo Evolution and Facts:
The most interesting fact about the FedEx logo is that it creates an optical illusion; if you observe closely between the ‘E’ and the ‘X’, you’ll notice a presence of an arrow there. The arrow represents the speedy and accurate service of the company. The arrow was formed after 200 FedEx logos were already designed and reviewed by Lindon.
The ‘Ex’ in FedEx signifies different sectors of the company in different colors. FedEx Express in Orange; FedEx Freight in Red, FedEx Ground in Green, FedEx Kinko’s in Blue, FedEx Trade Networks in Yellow, and the FedEx Services in Grey. In addition, the ‘Ex’ of the corporate logo is also colored grey.
The earliest FedEx logo was designed in 1973 by Richard Runyan.

 The Logo depicts ambiguous emotions. It exactly matches the logo. The meaning of bipolar is
