Subliminal Messages




Subliminal messages are messages that are recognized subconsciously by the brain. These messages can have a negative or positive influence on a person’s thoughts. Subliminal messages are commonly found in advertising. Subliminal advertising commonly uses visual or audio messages. You can find these messages in signs or commercials. An example is the Fed Ex logo. If you look at the photo you will see an arrow that is located between the “E” and the “x”. What do you think the purpose to this arrow is? Where do you see other examples of subliminal messages throughout your day? How do these messages affect a persons thoughts and alter their behavior?

I never noticed the arrow before. It might mean that FedEx is a company that gets the job done efficiently and quickly as well. It also could represent moving forward since it is pointing that way.
