Big Ten

BigTen is an academic union which was founded in the year 1896. Until1990, this union consisted of 10 universities, but in June 1990Pennsylvania State University was added. They didn’t want to changetheir name, so they added the number 11 to the logo.

Big Ten大学联盟是在1896年建立的，直到1990年，联盟始终囊括十所大学，但是1990年六月宾夕法尼亚州立大学也被加入其中。他们还不想改成Big Eleven，所以他们巧妙的把数字十一隐藏到标志中。（字母T的两侧）

Amazon.com

Thislogo doesn’t seem to hide much at first sight, but it gives you alittle insight in the philosophy behind the brand. First of all, theyellow swoosh looks like a smile: Amazon.com want to have the bestcustomer satisfaction. The swoosh also connects the letters a and z,meaning that this store has everything from a to z.

这个标志第一眼看不出太多隐含信息，但是它间接透露给出了一点企业的经营宗旨。首先，那个黄色的箭头就像一张甜美的微笑：亚马逊展示了一个良好的为客户服务形象。这个符号也起到了指向作用，链接字母a到z，意思是亚马逊的商品无所不包。

Eighty-20

Eighty-20is a small consulting firm. Most people think that the logo has nothingto do with the brand name. But the trick is to view the dark squares as1’s and the light squares as 0’s. Then the top line reads 1010000 andthe bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.

Eighty 20是一个咨询公司（金融咨询和数据公司设计）。许多人觉得这个标志对企业名称没什么诠释。但是你要知道深色方块代表数字1而浅色方块代表数字0。这样上边一排就是1010000而第二排代表0010100，用二进制计算就是80和20。
