Sometimes things can be hidden in plain sight. It’s not like the symbol sudden appeared when you first realized it’s there; it was there all along. And it’s not there by accident, either. The designer consciously chose to put it there. In fact, he needed to design a new font in order to clearly convey his vision for the design. He intended it to convey information, even if not everyone sees it right away: It was meant to symbolize speed and efficiency.

Similarly, a recent article on our site,Is it Possible? asks the question: Is it possible that you’ve been missing things in your life? Things that are “in plain sight” but have remained elusive, if only because you have never realized they are there? It’s a question worth asking! Take a look at the article, consider exploring the next steps listed, and let us know what you think.
