Introduction
Hey there design fans! Today I've got a fun quiz for you to test your knowledge of some of the most iconic logos out there. As a graphic designer, I know logos are a huge part of a brand's identity. A great logo can instantly spark recognition and remind you of a company or product.
So let's see how many of these logos you can get right on the first try! I'll describe each logo and give you a few hints. See if you can guess the company before I reveal the answer.
Swoosh
This first one is super famous. It's a curved checkmark or swoosh. You'll see it on shoes and sportswear. Do you know it? It's the logo for...
Nike!
Their "Just Do It" slogan and the swoosh are known all over the world.
Half Bitten Apple
The next logo is an apple with a bite taken out of the right side. It represents a very big name in technology and consumer electronics. Any guesses?
It's the logo for Apple of course!
The bite in the apple is genius because it ensures the logo won't be confused with a whole apple or another fruit.
Blue Box With White Letters
Facebook has a lowercase "f" as their logo. For this one, think of a royal blue box with white letters. It's the logo for a popular social media site bought by Facebook. Know what it is?
Yup, it's Instagram!

You got it - CocaCola's!
This is a logo that will immediately come to your mind when mentioning soft drinks.

That's right, it's Geico!
Their gecko mascot and "15 minutes could save you 15% or more" tagline are ubiquitous.

This big box retailer has a logo that lives up to its name. It features a large red bullseye target. Do you know which company has this logo?
Bullseye! It's Target of course!
That target circle is spot-on for their brand identity.
