People are only just noticing a hidden image on the iconic Cornetto ice cream logo – and their minds are blown
WITH the hot weather set to continue to soar, chances are many of us will be tucking into ice creams in a bid to cool down this weekend.
But while we’re all familiar with the mouth-watering Cornetto, we bet there’s something you didn’t know…
It turns out people are only just realising that the much-loved ice cream has a hidden logo – and the revelation is blowing people’s minds.
While at first glance the Cornetto logo may just appear to simply be the word ‘Cornetto’ written in a rather fancy font, according to one social forum user who took to Reddit, the’re a whole lot more to it.
They claim that if you look at the logo from a specific angle, there’s actually a hidden message behind the text.
You know what I think it is intentional, good find!

So, can you see it?
In the post, they claim that if you rotate the Cornetto logo so that it’s on its side, moving the ‘C’ at the top, the word forms the cone-shape of the iconic ice cream itself.
“I’d never noticed before that the Cornetto logo is Cornetto-shaped when you turn it sideways,” they penned.
It wasn’t long before the post was flooded with messages from others – with a very mixed response.
Many were left gobsmacked by the discovery, with one writing: “That’s mint information, mate.”
Another commented: “You know what I think it is intentional, good find!”
A third added: “Someone at a design agency has just seen this post and punched the air screaming ‘Yesss, I knew they’d see it!’.”
Elsewhere, others weren’t quite so convinced and questioned whether the logo was actually supposed to look like the shape of a Cornetto.
“Is it though?” asked one.
Another social forum user replied: “A bit, I guess.”
Five secret branding messages you may have missed
LOTS of brands have secret messages on their logos - so which ones have you spotted?
Amazon
Most people either have Amazon Prime and/or regularly order from the site, so are used to seeing the logo. But have you ever noticed the little arrow underneath the word Amazon? It starts at the ‘A’ and finishes at the ‘Z’ – showing that they sell everything from A to Z!
Toblerone
It caused a stir a few years ago when people realised the Toblerone logo – which they’d thought was a mountain – is actually the image of a bear. The reason for this is that a bear is the official symbol of the Swiss town of Bern, the original home of Toblerone.
Ray-Ban
The brand is arguably one of the most famous sunglasses companies in the world. But have you ever spotted the sunglasses image in the logo? If you look carefully at the letter ‘B’ in Ray-Ban and tilt your head to the side, you will see it looks like a pair of sunnies.
Hyundai
You’d be forgiven for thinking the ‘H’ logo for Hyundai is just meant to be a jazzy letter. In fact, if you look again, you might see that the vertical lines of the H are actually meant to show two people shaking hands – a salesperson and a satisfied customer.
Apple
Again, one of the most familiar logos in the world. But why does Apple’s apple logo have a bite taken out of it? Apparently, it’s down to the fact that when the logo is made smaller, they didn’t want it to look like a cherry. So having the bite taken out of it means it is always identifiable as an apple.
