As the old saying goes, there is often a lot more in a company logo than you think. After all, it's the first thing you see that instantly lets you know where you are or what's for sale.
When a logo is good you don't even need to see the name to know what the name is. Cars are often like that. Certainly anyone would recognize the Golden Arches or the Nike Swish or the Shell...well, Clamshell.
But did you know that the arrow under Amazon's name has another detail behind it? The arrow points from A to Z, signaling that Amazon sells pretty much anything and everything.
Now you know.

Yup. Anything you're looking for can be found at Amazon...or Walmart.

Pretty much. There used to be a really fun store to shop at, I think it was called Tuesdays, and they always had liquidation stuff there for cheap. It was always something to find interesting things there. It is out of business these days though.

@LindaOHio I like places like that. It is fun to walk around thrift stores for the same reason. You see things you don't see everywhere else.

Interesting. I never really paid much attention to the arrow. I wonder what Amazon doesn't sell, aside from weed.

@porwest wouldn’t be surprised if it does.

Yes, and the arrow looks like a smile which means the smile on the customer's face.

You're right. Jeff Bezos is definitely the person who smiles a lot. Actually, that smile thing was told by my Finnish designer friend.

Never thought about that but that is good to know and they certainly do sell everything.

That was one that I did know, but I bet a lot of people don’t (or didn’t).
Think I’ll get on Amazon and buy some alphabet soup. A to Z!

I guess eventually more and more people will know about the A-Z.
