Is This the Best Negative Space Logo Ever?


Can you spot the negative space message in the Fed Ex logo?

Behind the FedEx logo’s simplicity, lays an arrow located in the negative space between the ‘E’ and ‘X’ pointing rightwards. While the arrow in the FedEx logo becomes obvious when it is pointed out, many people don't see it because they are not looking for it.

FedEx have used this negative space as a form of subliminal advertising of the brand, symbolizing forward movement and thinking. Very clever!
