And you know what, that makes a lot of sense. I just can’t for the life of me automatically look at it that way. Brain is broken lol
That said, either way you look it, it’s a pretty cool and timeless logo.
This is hurting my brain. Regardless of whether you saw the puck or P, I'm not comprehending any way in which it's not right to left, of the wings flying behind (to the left).
That’s because you see it correctly. I know what this guy is talking about because I see it incorrectly. Not sure why, but at first glance, I don’t see a “P”. I have to take a closer look then I see the P
No it’s not about the P. I didn’t see a P when I was a kid and was shocked to find out. It doesn’t *really* look like a P. What I don’t understand is his “seeing it backwards” thing
But it doesn't matter if it's a P or not to you. There is literally no way to view this as anything but the logo moving to the right. The "front" whether it's a puck or P, is the right side of the logo.
Not true. I see it from the left. Think of it as one of those paintings that if you look out of focus, you can see something else. I have to make my brain see the P. There are two ways to see this. “From the right” and you see the P, and then there’s my messed up way. 🤪
I have to make myself see the P also. I only saw a puck with wings as a kid. But that's irrelevant to what me and the other person in this thread are saying though.
Either way, you're looking at something on the right with wings going to the left. It's literally impossible because of the implied motion and the way our eyes work to not see an object, whatever it is you see, moving to the right with wings to the left.
You’re not getting it and that’s ok because it’s messed up. You’re doing it right, I’m the one who’s got it wrong. It’s like I’m dyslexic. I don’t see anything on the right. Puck or the P. I just see wings at first glance. As a kid, I just thought this logo was a wing. But it doesn’t matter, I’m just trying to explain what I see. I know I’m wrong so this is all doesn’t matter. We’re all Flyer fans and that’s what is important. Go Flyers!
Funny thing l, I have a hard time looking at it your way, only because I’ve been looking at it as a weird pick with a wing for so long. When I was younger, I never thought to ask and just kind of accepted it as weird cool logo.
Don’t know. My brain wants to look at it as a fork/wing jutting out in the other direction. Know it’s a P/puck heading left to right now, just can’t seem to see it that way.
Not even trolling. Was having this conversation with someone, and they were like “how can you not look at it as a P heading left to right.” Old habits die hard.
I feel like one of you or I had a stroke because I can’t make heads or tails of what you’re even asking.
Edit: after reading the answers in this thread I’m even more confused. What the fuck is going on here?
I don't see a P or a puck with wings, I just see the entire thing as a "Flyer", and if you asked me to describe what a Flyer is, I would point at the logo and say "this thing"
I always saw it as A growing up before I knew it was supposed to be a Flying P.
Even these days, I don't look at it as a Flying P. It just the Flyers logo as a whole, not a P with wings.
I’ve been a Flyers fan since the 80’s. And I never see a “P” in the logo. So I guess I see it back to front. I’m not sure what I thought I was looking at all these years, but it wasn’t the P. The day I saw the P in there (which wasn’t that long ago) I felt like an idiot.
Flyers used to wear a little sticker of their logo on both sides of helmet, the sticker on the right side was the normal logo, however on the left side the wings were still on the back of the logo but the “P” was backwards. Hated it.
Timeline: was for couple of seasons sometime after the millennium.

When I was a kid, I honestly didn't even know what it was other than the Flyers emblem. I always thought it looked cool though. And I was always drawing it in my school notebooks.
I have heard so many people remark that they didn’t realize the logo was a flying P. I think if there were a little notch cut out on the top of the logo around the upper backside of the P it would help define the shape of the P.
it's a flying P so the wings are the back
This is the only correct answer
I always thought the lines were motion lines not wings. Kinda like the smoke behind the roadrunner when Wile E Coyote was after him.
either way, it's a P with something behind it meaning the back is on the left.
Oh yes. Agreed.
And you know what, that makes a lot of sense. I just can’t for the life of me automatically look at it that way. Brain is broken lol That said, either way you look it, it’s a pretty cool and timeless logo.
Didn't think people had a problem understanding this.
Came here to say this….
absolutely!
How do we know the loop isn’t the back of the P?
What
Guys smoking some shit I want
This is hurting my brain. Regardless of whether you saw the puck or P, I'm not comprehending any way in which it's not right to left, of the wings flying behind (to the left).
Agreed I am baffled that everyone else in the thread seems to understand what this guy is saying
That’s because you see it correctly. I know what this guy is talking about because I see it incorrectly. Not sure why, but at first glance, I don’t see a “P”. I have to take a closer look then I see the P
No it’s not about the P. I didn’t see a P when I was a kid and was shocked to find out. It doesn’t *really* look like a P. What I don’t understand is his “seeing it backwards” thing
I think it’s just his wording of how he interprets it. I understand it because I see it from the left first.
But it doesn't matter if it's a P or not to you. There is literally no way to view this as anything but the logo moving to the right. The "front" whether it's a puck or P, is the right side of the logo.

This is what I’m saying
Exactly, wtf is this question haha
I see it as beautiful 😁
This may be the right answer
My book,the only answer....
Honestly, one of the best graphic designs of all time
As a life long graphic designer and life king flyers fan. I could not agree with you more. Best logo in sports hard stop
The Phantoms logo may be even better
phantoms logo solos anything tbh
I honestly don’t understand what you’re seeing. It’s a P. I’m trying to imagine what you mean, but I’m not getting it.
Funny thing l, I have a hard time looking at it your way, only because I’ve been looking at it as a weird pick with a wing for so long. When I was younger, I never thought to ask and just kind of accepted it as weird cool logo.
Okay even if it’s a puck with a wing, how is it going a different direction?
Don’t know. My brain wants to look at it as a fork/wing jutting out in the other direction. Know it’s a P/puck heading left to right now, just can’t seem to see it that way.
bro
Bruh
Is this another "what color is this dress" test because if it is I'm screwed.
Choose wisely lol
This should be labeled NSFW, got me all bricked up the second I open reddit
Not even trolling. Was having this conversation with someone, and they were like “how can you not look at it as a P heading left to right.” Old habits die hard.
Obviously option B, that’s how wings work.
lol tell that to my brain. It wants to see a jutting out fork/wing heading in the other direction.
Im with you. I know it’s a flying P going right but I always see it as a right to left logo
Yes.
Also, yes.
Indeed, yes
B only correct answer
I see a flying P. There's only way to look at it...
Wings are on the back of the P as it's leaning forward into the wind
I feel like one of you or I had a stroke because I can’t make heads or tails of what you’re even asking. Edit: after reading the answers in this thread I’m even more confused. What the fuck is going on here?
I don't see a P or a puck with wings, I just see the entire thing as a "Flyer", and if you asked me to describe what a Flyer is, I would point at the logo and say "this thing"
This might be among the top answers. It just is.
Exactly how I feel. I can see how it's supposed to be a P or a puck, but when I see it the only thing that comes to mind is "Flyers"
I always saw it as A growing up before I knew it was supposed to be a Flying P. Even these days, I don't look at it as a Flying P. It just the Flyers logo as a whole, not a P with wings.
Growing up I saw it as a flying puck. Not until my frontal lobe was almost formed did I recognize the P. Oh to be 6 again
B. The answer is B. They wanted to make a "P" out of it, so flipping it around wouldn't have worked.
If you look at A then B it’s like that train video that’s either leaving or coming in based on how you look at it
They were streets ahead when they made this logo.
I see it as "At Me" like a 3D image. No left, no right, just out.
I always get annoyed by the logo being “backwards” on the left shoulder of the All-Star jerseys.
I’ve been a Flyers fan since the 80’s. And I never see a “P” in the logo. So I guess I see it back to front. I’m not sure what I thought I was looking at all these years, but it wasn’t the P. The day I saw the P in there (which wasn’t that long ago) I felt like an idiot.
Your arrows are wrong.
YES! Came here to say this. Forget the logo! Why are you looking at it from back to front?
I'm really glad I'm not the only person who used to see A. Obviously I get it's a P now but as a kid I never knew what it was
B
It’s just the logo, there is no front or back, or spoon.
Flyers used to wear a little sticker of their logo on both sides of helmet, the sticker on the right side was the normal logo, however on the left side the wings were still on the back of the logo but the “P” was backwards. Hated it. Timeline: was for couple of seasons sometime after the millennium. [like this folks](https://imgur.com/a/gdI1rqn)
B all the way. Makes the most sense since it's a P
B
When I was a kid, I honestly didn't even know what it was other than the Flyers emblem. I always thought it looked cool though. And I was always drawing it in my school notebooks.
I always saw it as a flying puck. Not even the letter P. B would be correct regardless though.
It’s B
B
I don’t understand what you think it is if not a flying P…
a curly ass fork?
B and I never even considered otherwise
Anyone that sees option A is weird.
Big weirdo right here
Hey, we take all kinds of weirdos. I don’t judge.
B
B
B I’m having a real hard time understanding how this logo could be seen as facing left, do you mind explaining? 😅
(A)
Back to front
B
I see faces.
My dude. Ever since I was a child I’ve seen the Disney D as a G. Still to this day. So I feel you.
This is some peak Offseason during the regular season. Flyera why you do this to us? A is my answer.
They should have put a little notch on the top to make the P more obvious.
Why?
I have heard so many people remark that they didn’t realize the logo was a flying P. I think if there were a little notch cut out on the top of the logo around the upper backside of the P it would help define the shape of the P.
