Now this Readymix logo in the Australian desert is big. Really big.2 It’s 3.2km across, and 1.6km high – and come to think of it, it’s been there since 1965, so probably qualifies as the first logo visible from space, and it’s possible that this was the first logo constructed specifically for that purpose too.

Digg that Diggers 😀

1) It is however an excellent example of big business beginning to try to cash in on the online satellite imagery phenomenon. However I seriously doubt that the image will ever appear on Google Earth or Maps, as to the best of my knowledge, Google don’t currently buy any imagery from GeoEye, the only company who have definitely captured a photo of the giant KFC logo.

2) However, even the Readymix writing is nowhere near the world’s largest text.

Thanks to the (ever awesome) Keyhole users.
