Pareidolia in the Cleveland Browns Logo

This is the logo for the Cleveland Browns football team. It is a football helmet; everyone can see that. But if you cropped it in a certain way, as Fox Sports did for the Christmas Day game against Green Bay, you lose that context and it looks like something else.

No, you weren’t the only one who saw it. Far from it. It’s definitely a bunny rabbit, but people are split on whether it is pushing a shopping cart or using a walker. The difference may have to do with one’s experience with such devices. This is a prime example of pareidolia, when we see a familiar pattern in an image that is not necessarily there. In the Browns’ logo, the cropping took away the most important element of a helmet- it’s head shape. The helmet being the same color as the background doesn’t help. What was left was a jumble that our brains needed to make sense of. See more of these Tweets at Design Taxi. -via Digg
