Can Never Be Unseen du Jour

The arrow in the FedEx logo.
When you use FedEx courier services to buy yourself some time, you may overlook the clever illusion hidden in the company’s iconic logo: time’s arrow, pointing toward the future. You can see either the white arrow or the FedEx letters, but not both at once, because one is always the background to the other. The current FedEx logo was shortened from the earlier company name Federal Express and given a new snazzy illusory design element, the background arrow between the “E” and the “x.”
Mind. Blown.
