Crimson Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 After playing this at my friend's graduation party, I decided to share it with the internets. How Well Do You Know Your ABC's? Welcome to the ultimate test of our complete immersion into corporate consumerism! Here's how it works: ------------------------------------- [*:214p4j3p]I have an image containing a grid of letters A-Z, all from various logos and brand names. Your job is to find those brand names. Some are brain-dead easy, some are quite hard.[*:214p4j3p]There are four grids. When one is completed, I will post the next one.[*:214p4j3p]If you think you know what the logo/identity is, post the letter you're looking at, the brand name you think it's from and a link to an image that proves your point.[*:214p4j3p]If you know multiple ones, please restrain yourself to posting no more than one every few hours.[*:214p4j3p]Remember, some of these logos can be OLD VERSIONS. Also, some may be exclusive to certain areas and you might have never heard of them before. ------------------------------------- The second grid is here! The first one is in a hide tag to preserve space, but there are still a few more that need to be found! A- United States Postal Service B- Borders C- Chick-Fil-A D- Nintendo E- Dell F- Ford G- H- U-Haul I- Walt Disney J- JVC K- Kellogg's L- Lexus M- IBM N- Northwest O- Dole P- ESPN Q- Compaq R- Reese's S- Sheraton Hotel T- Hertz U- USA Today V- Visa W- Wacom X- Dixie Cups Y- Macy's Z- Pez Grid 1: Hidden Content: EDIT: The letters "u", "v" and "i" have been changed to less obscure versions. So, just to give an example: For M, I'm going to say Burger King, and show my proof here: link In reality, actually use an image that is NOT horribly edited. What have we gotten so far? A- Sears B- BMW C- KFC D- Bloomingdale's E- F- Frito-Lay G- The Gap H- The Sharper Image I- Mobil J- Jelly Belly K- York L- M- McDonald's N- Nestlé O- Coca-Cola P- Pentel Q- Quaker Oats R- Radio Shack S- Starburst T- Microsoft U- Toys "R" Us V- Ivory Soap W- Volkswagen X- Xerox Y- Circuit City Z- Pizza Hut If this thread gets off the ground, I'll update the main post every once in a while to track what you have gotten so far. Good luck! Quote Create A Professional-Looking Product Advertisment Mockup flickr | Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The A would be from Sears. By the way, I love this idea for a game. Recognizing typography is kinda my thing.

Crazy Man Dan Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Darn it! I was going to do that one, but I wanted to wait for someone else to post so I didn't look like I was hogging the action. Well then: F is the old Frito Lay logo, which was actually really hard to find, even though I know what I'm looking for. The black-and-white version was the only one I found stand-alone, but here's the color logo on the side of a truck.
