Can you spot every hidden image in this video game logo?

Last year, the internet (okay, a corner of Reddit) was all aflutter over this logo. And nine months later, we're still impressed. Let's take a look back.

We've seen lots of logos with secret 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 images hidden inside it. The logo for pirate-themed video game Sea of Thieves has seriously impressed the internet, thanks to its bounty of visual easter eggs.

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 is seriously impressive.
