From FedEx to Amazon, plenty of the most iconic logo designs in the world feature brilliant hidden images or meanings. And now we can add another to the list, courtesy of, er, a UK-based veterinary service. 

Medivet's logo has gone viral after a Twitter user spotted the design's ingenious use of negative space, which transforms the inside of an 'M' into a cat's face. Like many of the best logos of all time, the design is pretty much guaranteed to raise a smile.

"Imagine how the designer must’ve felt when they came up with this logo," creative director Stu Royall Tweeted alongside an image of the logo. "I’d ruin my life chasing that high again." Indeed, it's certainly a smart design, with the addition of a mere triangle beneath the M creating a 'nose' – and giving enough context to transform that white space into a cat's head (although, are we the only ones getting Batman vibes too?).

The design by TurnerDuckworth was part of a rebrand for the company last year, and won a Wood Pencil award at the 2020 D&AD awards. And it's certainly proving a hit online, with over 25K upvotes on Reddit. "Excellent concept/idea," one user tweets, while another adds, "I'd give the designer a year off if I was their boss."
