Let me know when you spot the arrow in the FedEx logo.
Welcome to Breezewood, PA... the parking lot between I-70 and I-70.

Ummm......
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Quote from: TheHighwayMan3561 on September 26, 2025, 01:57:43 AMIf there's a Mono County, why isn't there a Stereo County?

Because it refers to the disease, not audio.

Did we ever get to Dropsy County in the US county photo game?

Actually, it is a reference to the Mono Native Americans who inhabit the area.

Quote from: kphoger on September 26, 2025, 11:16:37 AMSpeaking of logos, it was years before I noticed that the Amazon arrow "goes from A to Z", and it took someone else pointing it out to me.



Similar to the arrow in Fedex.



And the bear in the Toblerone logo (company is based in Bern):



And the 31 in Baskin Robbins' logo.


After they added Penn State and before the next round of conference realignment killed it, the Big Ten hid an 11 in their logo:

Quote from: formulanone on September 26, 2025, 11:04:03 AMI just learned that the Chessie System logo was not a mutated goblin head.



I think they shouldn't have oversimplified that sleeping cat logo, or at least provided a clue.
It took a book called "Symbols of America" to make me realize this.

Huh, I never noticed the first numeral one to the left until you pointed it out, but I always spotted the second one (figuring it meant Ten + One).
