In Wizards 101, it's on the floor of the life tower I believe.

I try to hide them in artwork and graphic desighns sometimes...
A bit like where's Waldo...

I think it's a logo for some power tool company or something.

Also the Triforce is the first iteration of the Sierpinski Triangle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle).

I have one in my shower and also in the font Pythagoras' capital A. Yeah, and like CZG mentioned, they occasionally hide them in the Google logos, which I've always collected and love the Zelda series, so it's kind of funny that way.

Well the Triforce in Zelda comes from the crest of a real Japanese clan, so you'd see it there. There was a thread on it a while back.

Other than that, I've seen it in Starcraft. On one of the main menus, there's a part that's designed to look like a space battle, and if you hover the pointer over it, displays (like on a computer console) will appear, and one of them contains a three-triangle symbol identical to the Triforce.

I've probably seen it one or two other places, but that's the only one I can remember.

There was this cartoon I saw long ago, with an obsessed king with red hair holding a gold triforce in the background for half a second, when the two characters where walking by while talking about corruption in te lands and stuff.

It was no Zelda cartoon whatsoever.
That Ganondorf in the background wasn't part of the story at all.
It was the only reference in the whole cartoon, but a cool one.

The most major one I've noticed is that the logo for Delta is the Triforce. The fighter from Galaga also looks rather Triforce-like.

Yes, many times. And I think "zelda" everytime.

It's fun indeed.

Yes I see triangles on a daily basis. It is kind of hard not to notice them.

I guess this kind of counts. But on my really dirty school bus, someone drew an upside down Triforce.

All the time. It seems to me like almost every corporation with "Tri" in their name will use this. It is a strong, harmonious design (but terribly uncreative).

There's a trash/sanitation service in my area that uses a "Triforce" type logo. I've also seen a sign beside the highway for a real estate law firm (I guess they handle legal issues regarding real estate) - the logo was a Triforce with lettering on it, the initials of the company name.

The Triforce is not hard to find out in the real world and ... it usually has absolutely nothing to do with the Legend of Zelda.

For anyone who likes math :p. You can think of the triforce as an example of Sierpinski triangle. In simple, its a triangle based of a simple reduction algorithm.

Check it out, a triforce on the American dollar. I know it's just part of the letter, but it's there, nonetheless.

This is the logo of an apartment complex. Do you see the Triforce? ;)

I have the Triforce as my Emblem on Halo 3. Also, that one dollar bill thing is pretty sweet I might add.

A lit of the machines in my wood shop class have a triforce on them. I am still awestruck when I see it. LOL.

I saw it in a maths exam once...
Also, the mitsubishi logo sort of reminds of it.

There is this ice-cream company that has something like the triforce in its products, and there are many companies that use the three triangles as their logo, indeed.

If you look carefully, you'll see it at the tip of the ski. Fischer puts it on all of their skis/snowboards

I've seen it on the net of a tennis court on a poster, and there's a triforce tile design in the airport of Bangkok.
