You probably want to use a white-on-red Coca-Cola logo to talk about the hidden Danish flag. All you can see here is a hidden English flag at best.

New York 2 November 2010 I have been driving nothing but BMWs since the 1970s and as far as I am concerned the Roundel represents the blades of an aircraft propeller. It really doesn't matter what the very, very original intent was at the inception of the graphic, the fact is that BMW originally was an aircraft company and not long after the logo was created decided to represent the logo as that of a spinning propeller. Looking at it from a Freudian prospective, taking into account the workings of the unconscious mind, even if the party who originally conceived of the Roundel consciously thought of it as a representation of the colors of Bavaria, given the origins of the company itself, the real drive for the symbol may well have been from aircraft anyway.

Subliminal messages aren't always easy to find, especially in popular logos most of us see every day.
