We love a good logo Easter egg, especially one we may have missed, but is the Taco Bell logo really hiding something? Study the logo above and decide if you can spot a hidden taco lurking there.
Searching for hidden meanings in logos is one of the design community’s favourite activities. Since so many of the world’s most iconic logos are littered with intriguing design Easter eggs, it’s no wonder folk expect them to pop up all over the place – and a few super-sleuths think they’ve spotted a new one in Taco Bell’s logo.
We’re not talking about the latest logo either – Taco Bell redesigned the logo in question in 2015, but it’s possible a secret taco element may have flown under the radar. Until now. Study the logo below and decide if you can see a hidden taco lurking there. Do you think the Taco Bell logo served up more logo design inspiration than the world initially thought?
According to the chatter on Reddit , the clapper (the bit inside the bell that dings) is actually fashioned to resemble a taco. Now, we’ll caveat that we’re not completely sold on this, and neither are plenty of others. But it would make sense given the company is, y’know, Taco Bell.
