This example illustrates the gestalt principle of figure-ground. The foot print logo for GNOME can either be interpreted for the obvious, as a footprint, or as a G for GNOME. When I first looked at this logo I could only see the footprint and I was completely confused as to why it was even an example of figure ground. After letting the image set in, it hit me, and I though it was a nice idea. It worked out well for the company because I do not think there are too many other letters that can form into a foot print or the letter G.
