Have a happy VH07V Wednesday y’all! π Don’t forget to post your guesses below!
Last night, bruddah Alan Okami and Koaloha Ukulele Company celebrated their 15th year anniversary at the Willows Restaurant. I was one of the fortunate ones to get an invite to this special event that included live entertainment by Jon Yamasato, David Kamakahi, Herb Ohta, Jr., James Hill, Pali Ka`aihue, and others, and some ono kine grindz.
Be on the lookout for professional coverage of this event in the form of a real blog from sistah Melissa Chang. π From what I hear, it will even include videos too! Dayum Melissa! Always makin’ me look bad. π
Big ups and congratulations to Bruddah Alan and the rest of the Koaloha Ukulele Company ohana! See you in another 15! π
It’s been a while since we did a “Fun Day Monday” post, so I thought I’d shock y’all, and blog about this fun/interesting one forwarded recently amongst our marketing department. Pretty interesting stuff, especially for you marketing/art/graphic types.

An interesting bit of Logo trivia… I was not aware of these things…guess I’ll have to start watching logos more carefully.
Tostitos
If you look at the center of this logo, you can see two people enjoying a Tostitos chip with a bowl of salsa. This logo conveys an idea of people connecting with each other.
Formula 1
At first, this logo might not make much sense. But if you look closely, you’ll see the number 1 in the negative space between the F and the red stripes. I also love how this logo communicates a feeling of speed.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers is a professional baseball team from Milwaukee , Wisconsin (well, duhβ¦). Their logo is actually made up of the letters M (on top) and B (below the m). These two letters also form a baseball glove.
Northwest Airlines
This simple looking logo actually carries a lot of information. First of all you can see the letters N and W, the first two letters of the brand name. But what most people don’t see is the compass that points to the Northwest, another reference to the brand name.
Amazon
This logo doesn’t seem to hide much at first sight, but it gives you a little insight in the philosophy behind the brand. First of all, the yellow swoosh looks like a smile: Amazon wants to have the best customer satisfaction. The swoosh also connects the letters a and z, meaning that this store has everything from a to z.
Toblerone
Toblerone is a chocolate-company from Bern , Switzerland . Bern is sometimes called βThe City Of Bears β. They have incorporated this idea in the Toblerone logo, because if you look closely, you’ll see the silhouette of a bear.
Baskin Robins
The old logo of Baskin Robbins had the number 31 with an arc above it. The new logo took this idea to the next level. The pink parts of the BR still form the number 31, a reference to the 31 flavors.
Sony Vaio
Sony Vaio is a well known brand of laptops. But did you know that the name Vaio logo also had a hidden meaning? Well, the first two letters represent the basic analogue signal. The last two letters look like a 1 and 0, representing the digital signal.
FedEx
Do you see any arrows on FedExβs logo? I saw it a few times at other site saying that thereβs an arrow hidden in the FedEx arrow, but I couldnβt find it. I now know where it is, itβs your turn to find. The clue is that the arrow is located in between the alphabet E and X, and the arrow is white, acting as a background.

Speaking of logos… Check out this gem!
Hehe, ok, so this one is not really part of the trivia, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Cute huh? It’s the logo for an event I’m helping to coordinate called the Rice Fest. Food, Fun and Festivities for the entire Family. π Come check it out this September 11th at Aloha Tower if you have some time! (Read Erika Engle’s recent article about the Rice Festival: “Catch that grain at rice festival“).
