Question:

Five sentences related to a topic are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent short paragraph. Identify the odd one out.

Those geometric symbols and aerodynamic swooshes are more than just skin deep.
The Commonwealth Bank logo – a yellow diamond, with a black chunk sliced out in one corner – is so recognisable that the bank doesn’t even use its full name in its advertising.
It’s not just logos with hidden shapes; sometimes brands will have meanings or stories within them that are deliberately vague or lost in time, urging you to delve deeper to solve the riddle.
Graphic designers embed cryptic references because it adds a story to the brand; they want people to spend more time with a brand and have that idea that they are an insider if they can understand the hidden message.
But the CommonBank logo has more to it than meets the eye, as squirrelled away in that diamond is the Southern Cross constellation.

Explanation:

The set of sentences has as its premise, the significance of corporate logos. Sentences 2 and 5 refer to the commonwealth bank logo. The others do not. Sentence 1 refers to ‘those geometric symbols’ being more than skin deep ; sentence 2 refers to the logo of the commonwealth bank as one that is recognisable ; sentence 3 talks about hidden meanings in logos like a riddle ; sentence 4 refers to embedded cryptic references being added by graphic designers ; the last option refers to a hidden symbol in the commbank logo. Among the lot, only option 1 does not refer to logos or pictorial representations of brands. Thus that is clearly the odd option.
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
