Gestalt Principles- Figure Ground Relationship


The FedEx logo demonstrates the Gestalt Principle of Figure Ground Relationship. The eye first recognizes the letters as figure, but soon realizes that the EX forms an arrow, a new figure. There is an ambiguity between the figure and the ground relationship because the background is white, the letters (figures) are color and the arrow formed  is also white like the background.
