Post by: Twisted on September 23, 2010, 01:13:48 AM
I was watching the Moto GP race the other night when i see this sponser sign on main straight.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not that much of a dirty minded individual or am I? :icon_rolleyes:

What does the A Style symbol look like to you guys?

By the way it was a great ride by Casey Stoner  ;)

That's a subliminal right thar.

There is actually an interesting amount of... unusualness to be found in some of the more famous company logos.

For example... NASA's logo

Note the Chevron.

China Space Agency

Canadian Space Agency

UK Space Agency
(http://blogs.sitepoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DrWhoSpaceLogo.jpg)

All showing Chevrons.

Notice how the A in A-Style is somewhat chevron-esq. The View uses a large V (chevron). Virgin. The VW logo is three chevrons.

Columbia Clothing have a sideways square. So does Microsoft. Exxon is a Double X - or - a Double Cross (Cross of Lorraine) - think of the Finger men in V for Vendetta

Iranian Space Agency logo

Obama Missle Defense Logo (crescent moon & star and chevron)

Islam logo

Interesting...

So Mister, you're referring to the chevrons? because in the A-Style logo I see a couple doing something that doesn't have to do with chevrons lol

Sorry for miscommunicating...

The A-Style is "that a subliminal right thar" meaning... Doggy.

The A also happens to be a Chevron.

Now why is it that the first "A-Style" only has one dot? while the other three have two?

so I was browsing the net on meaning of chevrons and what an article. http://dedroidify.blogspot.com/2008/01/language-subliminal-symbolism.html

I think I want some of his crack!

For me my first interpretation of chevrons usually means rank or importance. Maybe that is what they are trying to convey :dunno_black:
