Anyway, back to the FedEx thing-- I'm surprised how many DESIGNERS that I point that out to that go, "... oooohh YEAH! HOLY SHIT! I NEVER NOTICED THAT!" Really, it's in the dozens because I started pointing it out almost 10 years ago.

cambridge analytica's logo -- it's a connect-the-dots of the brain. You get enough data points and you can create a picture of a person's mind.

From the mists of 40 years ago, I just remembered the Kaufman Carpets logo (lower right)...
https://s1.nyt.com/timesmachine/pages/1/1976/09/26/113450646_360W.png
...which can be read either as "Kaufman Carpet, The Experts" or "Kaufman, The Carpet Experts"
It kinda blew my 12-year-old mind.
― Hideous Lump, Sunday, 30 September 2018 18:02 (five years ago) link
With the comma placement it can also be read as (lastname, firstname) Carpet Kaufman. Private First Class Carpet Kaufman.
