Galeries Lafayette

Whether or not you're familiar with this one will depend on whether you've spent any time in France, or Paris in particular. If you have, you're probably well aware that Galeries Lafayette is one of the biggest department stores in the country. Nowhere does the company have a bigger store than in Paris, though, and it's Paris that's being celebrated in this artistic, sketchy logo.

The two 't's of 'Lafayette look oddly crooked until you realize what they're supposed to represent. Nothing in Paris is considered to be more iconic than the famous Eiffel Tower, and that's what the 't's are based on. The crossing of the 't's is the central support strut of the tower. We don't know why the tower seems to be leaning - that's really more of a Pisa thing - but it's a lovely nod to the company's heritage.
