The Coca-Cola logo is one of the most recognizable designs in the world. Its flowing white lettering on a red background has remained remarkably familiar for more than a century, so it’s easy to assume there isn’t much left to discover.
But recently, people have been taking a closer look at those familiar letters and noticing something they say they’ve never seen before: a tiny Danish flag hidden inside the logo.
Is it actually there—or is this simply a clever optical illusion?
Look Closely at the Second “O”
The
detail people are talking about can be found around the second “o” in Coca-Cola.
When the shape is isolated and viewed against the red background, the white elements inside the letter can look remarkably similar to the Danish flag, known as the Dannebrog: a red field crossed by a white Scandinavian-style cross.
The resemblance is certainly striking.
