Steve Lovelace took iconic logos and replaced their lettering with Wingdings. It's a nice testament to how iconic (some more than others) these marks are.

Ogilvy France has created a series of outdoor ads which double as variously a shelter, a seat and a ramp as part of its People for Smarter Cities IBM campaign.
