Logos make me blue.

Monday quiz fun. Can you spot the incorrect logos?

About half of those logos have fallen out of use.

Maybe I need more media reading and watching. Only number 8 really jumped out as wrong to me.

I believe at least one point is how little you notice the visual noise of the world when you're awash in a sea of crap.

That's pretty lame. I don't need a quiz to tell me I don't know the arrangement of the colors in the Windows logo.

OMG, item, I loved that Games magazine quiz. If you're ever up all night again and, somehow, somewhere find a link to it , please let me know.

Well I for one noticed the Windows logo was wrong. That makes me pretty lame I guess.

[[ there is absolutely nothing fun about that quiz, which is a shame ]]

So you did badly, is what you're saying. Shame.

...and there is no goddamn point.
But, it's very important you be able to correctly identify the crests of your corporate masters.

I got all but one right, and I'd have to concur that this was about as fun as watching paint dry. And wrongly colored paint at that.

The quiz sucked but the snarks were worth the FPP. So... thanks, Oriole Adams.

The subtleties of corporate logos. Goes in the category of "Who cares?"

Glad to have obliged with the daily minimum requirement of snarkiness.

I remember that Games magazine quiz, too, and this one just happened to remind me of it. The Games quiz, IIRC, showed one small portion of a logo, like the "A" in Arrow shirts, or the "J" in Juicy Juice (which was the one that tripped me up). I've just always been somehow fascinated with logos and emblems...

wouldnt it be more fun if they mixed them up gave us Pepsi in the Fedex color and font, and Jiff in the Mastercard logo and we had to match them with eachother and figure out what was missing.
