But there’s an important distinction between spotting a shape and proving that the shape was deliberately designed into the logo.

This is where the story gets
interesting.
Coca-Cola’s own history of the logo doesn’t identify a Danish flag as an original hidden feature.

The logo has undergone various modifications over the decades, but its distinctive script has remained one of the brand’s defining visual elements.
