What do you see when you look at the Tesla logo? It's a subject that's recently caught the imagination of the Twittersphere, and for good reason. Most would probably take a well-meaning stab at a 'T' for Tesla, but for others, the design's form contains a comparison that's hard to unsee, once you've seen it.

Though many standout logos (including our pick of the best logos) have dual meanings of some sort, it's safe to say that any design team is probably not aiming for a visual comparison to a product in a a totally different field. But unfortunately for Tesla, there has been an outpouring of some pretty spot-on declarations about the form and shape of the Tesla logo.
