Amazon Smiles With Iconic Non-Verbal Logo?

Yesterday, while on the highway heading to a client meeting, I noticed a truck that looked like this:

It reminded me of the plentiful ink we’ve spilled over the years about singular iconic non-verbal logos that can truly stand alone. Remember Seth Godin’s generous insights shared, here?

Given the dominant display of Amazon’s non-verbal logo shown above (without the Amazon brand name), it’s probably time to ask: Does or Can the Amazon Non-Verbal Logo Truly Stand Alone?

Over time, Amazon carefully and strategically has migrated and associated the non-verbal logo with other Amazon indicia, while omitting the likely famous Amazon word mark and brand name:

 

These variations look to be on the way, with Amazon not only smiling, but licking its chops as well:

So, I’m thinking Amazon’s “smile or curved arrow” design logo, has been out and about without a parent or guardian long enough, and it can and does truly stand alone, what do you say?

Back to the question in the title of the post, what do you see, a smile or a curved arrow, or both?

The more messages the better, at least from a trademark perspective, especially in thinking about Amazon’s scope of rights having no singular meaning, right?
