Seeing Differently
The FedEx logo is renowned among graphic designers. It has collected numerous awards and was selected as one of the eight best logos at the 35th anniversary of Rolling Stone magazine. Using negative space and simple fonts, Lindon Leader, the logo’s creator, has created inconspicuously unforgettable graphics.
After being hired by Federal Express to create a new logo, Leader generated several potential designs, began to toy with the fonts, and stripped away clutter from each draft. His eye zeroed in on a particular design that abbreviated the company’s name to FedEx because an arrow emerged between the E and the X. Mixing his two favorite fonts, the arrow became clearer, and the FedEx logo was born. After seeing the new FedEx graphic several times, Leader told his young daughter about the hidden arrow. Her eyes lit up, and she never saw the logo the same way again.
Eye Opening Experience - Life Changing Experience
Acts 26:13-18
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
