10 Hidden Details You Never Noticed In Famous Movie Posters

3. Hiding In Plain Sight (Spectre)

Daniel Craig's fourth outing as womanising super-spy James Bond involved the shady criminal organisation known as Spectre, with its leader, Blofeld, revealing that he had been responsible for many tragic incidents throughout Bond's life.

Basically, Spectre was everywhere, lurking in the shadows, and hiding round every corner. And not just in the movie, either - the group also sneaked its way onto the poster.

The teaser poster for Spectre is a simple one, as teaser posters tend to be. It shows the movie's title against a pitch-black background, with the image of a bullet hole and some shattered glass situated in the middle.

For those unfamiliar with Bond lore, this shattered glass won't look like anything special, but for everybody else, it holds a hidden meaning. The shape of the glass - specifically, the cracks that are protruding from the bottom, like legs - is the exact same shape as the Spectre octopus logo.

There have been a few variations of this logo over the years, but all of them retain the same basic shape.

For an evil organisation full of terrorists and criminal masterminds, these guys sure do take their graphic design seriously!

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
