What makes a great logo? What is even the point of a logo? Judge for yourself with this logo quiz. Some are so famous that they are synonymous with their company’s name, and that’s the best case scenario for a logo, isn’t it? See if these logos are easily recognizable to you. Some may be a little more difficult than others – especially since names have been removed or covered!

Just number your answers and leave them as a comment below – the REAL answers will be revealed via comment the morning of December 23! Have fun and NO CHEATING…

SIDE NOTE: Great post. I think company branding is SUPER important these days, and when done right, pays HUGE dividends. A brand is usually NOT created over night; it takes dedication and a lot of marketing to get your customers to begin associating an image with your brand – but it’s worth the investment.
