Baskin Robbins has a 31 cleverly in their current logo. The number stands for their original number of flavors of ice cream.

If you look at the original logos, the 31 is not hidden but a prominent part of their advertising.

In 1953, Baskin-Robbins hired Carson-Roberts Advertising who recommended the adoption of the number 31 as well as the pink (cherry) and brown (chocolate) polka dots and typeface that were reminiscent of the circus. The first store that adopted the new 31 looks was 804 North Glendale Ave. in Glendale in March 1953.

Having 31 flavors conveniently worked with having one flavor for each day of the month too! Win-win!
