We've seen plenty of logos with hidden messages over the years, from Amazon's secret 'smile' to the famous FedEx arrow. But it's not often we encounter a logo with not one, not two but, er, eight (or possibly more?) images inside it. Thanks to its bounty of visual easter eggs, the logo for pirate-themed video game Sea of Thieves has seriously impressed the internet – again. The game was released in 2018, but the logo is once again doing the rounds on Reddit.

It's a skull. But there's also a boat. And a rock. And clouds And an eyepatch. And a crew. Birds, too. Oh, and there's a shark. Unless there's anything else we haven't spotted yet (which is entirely possible), that's every element that combines to create the incredible, multi-faceted design (below). Many of the best logos are cleverer than they look, but this one's a real treasure.
