This joke took a turn on him a year later when it was brought to Coca-Cola’s attention of what the ice cube was showing. In one of the ice cubes, the graphic designer drew a sexual picture as a joke. In the mid-1980s, Coca-Cola released a campaign in South Australia that said “Feel the Curves” which featured the new bottle design and ice cubes on the bottom of the image. The artist rarely reveals if they put sexual images into the ads on purpose or if it was pure coincidence and people are looking too hard.Įvery once in a while, an artist does hide an image in the ad on purpose. Apparently, hiding unicorns and rainbows within an ad isn’t as much fun for the artist. The most common subliminal messages found in advertisements refer to sexual images. Heineken beer released an advertisement that had a suggestive image when it was flipped upside down. Other advertisements don’t seem to have a sexual message until they are manipulated. A skittle was placed in front of the word explosion causing it to read “Sexplosion.” Skittles was caught in the subliminal message controversy with their packaging of the Berry Explosion flavor. The trouble that comes along with subliminal messages in advertising is that no one knows if they’re truly supposed to be there or not, and they are only to be picked up by your unconscious mind.
Finding a hidden image in a logo is much easier than an advertisement. The supraliminal messages within logos add power to the brand’s key attributes and positioning, and the conscious mind can find the images. Hidden images within logos are specific branding elements that brands use. Between the “k” and “i” the shape of a sideways chocolate kiss can be seen. The Hershey’s Kisses logo also has a hidden image. Tostitos uses the two “t’s” to represent people and the dot from the “i” to make a bowl of salsa, showing two people coming together to share tortilla chips. Hidden messages within logos are referred to as supraliminal messages because they can be picked up by the conscious mind and are clear, direct and outright, making them more powerful.įedEx incorporates an arrow between the “e” and “x” to show the speedy delivery they offer to their customers. Since the logo is a key piece to making a brand successful, if you see a hidden image there is a purpose behind it and typically relates to a service or product the brand provides. Just like advertisements, you might see an image hidden within a logo. Within this blog, you will be able to see the difference between the two types of messages. Supraliminal messages are designed with a purpose and appeal to the conscious mind to give a bigger impact on what the brand provides.
Are subliminal messages in advertisements real or are people trying to see something that isn’t there? Are advertisers that good to make you think you see something you don’t? What about supraliminal messages? Subliminal messages are most commonly known in advertising and appeal to your unconscious mind, but there is a second type of message known as supraliminal messages.
