A little experiment that I conducted to find out how strong certain brands are just by showing the first letter of their logo and name.

See how you get on then look at the tags to check how many you got right.

Please then post your results on the comments section and also let me know which ones you got wrong.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

I agree with miuenski, but it's really a cool idea :)
I'll post it in www.logoblink.com and will put a credit link.

I can't recognize
e, J, p, z :)

and... I don't see any tags so I can not check these letters :(

The tags are on the right ralev. I have now also added notes on top of each logo so that when you rollover them with your mouse it will show the company name.

Thanks for your feedback.

Didn't get Coke, H&M, and RAC. I'm not sure why I didn't get Coke, was kicking myself after I saw the name. There are so many companies with stylized C's (campbells, cadburry) and brush script H's and that threw me off. I don't even know what RAC is, UK?

YoungGoGetter.co.uk says:

Yes sorry, RAC is a UK breakdown service.

Your very right about the stylized C's and H's, there are loads.

Thanks for the comments.

Amazing how some brands are so strong and easily recognisable from the colour and font alone ..

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Got all but RAC, which is sort of the only brand that's not global so it's tough if you're not in the UK. I only know this RAC logo from the old days:

I got RAC wrong (btw what are they?) and couldn't recognize Zurich (what do they do?)

YoungGoGetter.co.uk says:

Yes the 'R' is for RAC. It is a British auto breakdown service. I should really change it to an international brand.

Just fascinating! I missed Unilever, Zurich, Xbox, MTV, Nintendo, RAC and Sony Walkman. I've also posted a copy to flooringtheconsumer.blogspot.com to anchor a post about brands.

I missed more than I would have expected: MTV (I should be shot for that one),, Puma, RAC, Sony, Unilever, Walkman, and Zurich.

19/26 correct = 73% ... Good thing it wasn't a REAL test!

jorgealejandro says:

Didn't get M, J and R.

I didn't know "Rac" but the other 2 I just didn't recognize them.

Great idea!
