The Hidden 8 of Diamonds
Here, we see a great example of use in negative space. It’s one of those things that might take a while to realize but once you see, you can’t unsee. If you stare at this one long enough, the numeral eight begins to reveal itself in a new way.
It must have been someone very bored with a card game who figured this one out. Look at the eight diamond shapes. Then focus on the negative white space between them. Suddenly, a large figure eight in the center of the card appears. It’s a clever bit of detail, isn’t it?
Penguins Outside The Antarctic
Emperor penguins, you might want to watch your back, or this caterpillar’s back in particular. Is it just us or do you also see an impressive colony of “penguins" nestled in there? Who knew a caterpillar could do this? We think there’s some important life lesson in here.
One of them is embracing your quirks! Just like this unique caterpillar proudly carries penguin companions, we ought to celebrate what makes us different. It's a walking, waddling wonder, proving nature has a sense of humor. Happy Feet, there's a new star in town, and yes, there's room for all of you here!
The Curious Case Of Lowercase
The 7-Eleven logo is an iconic symbol that has graced countless convenience stores around the world. But have you ever noticed something peculiar about this familiar emblem? If you look closely, you'll realize that only one letter dares to defy the uppercase norm - the rebellious "n." It's like that one friend who always goes against the flow just to keep things interesting. Several theories abound.
Some people say it's a subtle nod to the 24/7 operation of 7-Eleven stores. The lowercase "n" represents the wee hours of the night when everything is quiet and lowercase. Others believe that the founder’s wife thought the logo came off as harsh with all capital letters and suggested the “N” be changed to lowercase.
Arrow on Gas Gauge
Next to the gas gauge of most cars that have been manufactured since 2010, there's an arrow that either points to the left or to the right. This arrow indicates to the driver which side of the car the gas tank is on. If it's pointing to the left, that means that the gas tank is on the left-hand side of the vehicle and vice versa.
Most people don't need a reminder because they get used to filling their car up and instinctively know which side of the car to pull up to the gas pump. But if you ever have to drive a new car, such as a rental car, this is a good trick.
Massive Billboards Empty Building
It may be hard to believe but the iconic building covered in lighted billboards known as One Times Square is uninhabited. It seems strange that such valuable real estate is just sitting empty, but it turns out that the company that owned the building went bankrupt in 1992.
It was sold to an advertising agency and they decided to just use it for the billboards.
