Let's be honest - company logos are incredibly important. Why? Because logos (or at least, good logos) reveal a brand's identity and let consumers know exactly who they are and what their products do.
They also differentiate brands from their competitors. Sure, one might be able to tell two different chocolate bars apart without the logos but there is no denying that logos make that process that much faster. Plus, logos are a great way to entice new customers and to encourage them to purchase a specific product. When choosing between two seemingly identical items most of us will go for the product that has a more eye-catching packaging and a distinctive logo.
A good logo will promote customer loyalty. Next time a customer is faced with countless of products that he must choose from, he will more than likely go for the product that seems familiar as well as the product that represents his values and inspires trust.
As such, it makes perfect sense that brands spend millions of dollars perfecting their logos. Most of us are aware of all the big brands out there, such as McDonald's and Coca Cola. We could recognize them a mile away. Why? Because they have distinctive logos. But who thinks they can recognize world-famous logos even after they had been cut in half?
Name this brand.
Recognize this logo here? It belongs to a coffee company that is popular all over the world which is rather surprising seeing how it was founded relatively recently, in 1971 (although it apparently did not become truly profitable until the 1980's). Its first location outside the U.S was Tokyo (more than 20 years ago, in 1996). Today this brand can be found in more than 28,000 locations across the globe and its logo of a twinned tail mermaid is probably one of the most recognizable logos out there.
Who knows the name of this brand?
Who knows the name of this brand from just the logo (or rather, half the logo) in the image to the right? Most of us use this brand's products on a daily basis and as such everyone should be able to recognize it. This brand was founded almost 150 years ago, all the way back in 1869. The founder of this company was a marketing genius - he claimed that there were "57 varieties" of his product (even though there were way more) because he knew the psychological effect that the number would have on his customers.
This casual dining restaurant chain is called...?
A man named Larry Lavine founded this particular casual dining restaurant chain back in 1975. The brand's first location was in Texas - in a converted post office to be exact - but it did not take long for it to expand. Today, this brand has not only countless of locations in the U.S, but also countless of locations in other parts of the world, such as India, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Germany and Morocco to name just a few. More than 800 locations are owned by the company itself whereas more than 700 are franchised.
Name this popular fast food company.
This fast food company is probably the most famous fast food company in the world. It was founded all the way back in 1940 and its first location was in California. However, this company did not start using its famous logo until 28 years later, in 1968 (although a similar logo was being used in 1953). Today, this brand can be found in as many as 37,241 locations worldwide and almost 70 million customers are served at these branches every single day.
What is the name of this company?
This company sells a large variety of products, including breakfast food, bottled water and baby food. In fact, it is considered to be the biggest food company in the world. This company came about in 1905 when two other companies - both which were founded in 1866 - merged together. This company is based in Switzerland, and, interestingly enough, the founder of this brand was one of the first Swiss businessmen to use a logo. And while this company's logo changed over the years, it still makes a reference to the founder's surname.
What brand does this logo represent?
Those with a sweet tooth should have no trouble identifying this logo here. The brand that this logo represents was founded in 1930 by a family company that today is known as a global manufacturer of food products. Few people know that this particular brand was named after one of the horses that the family owned. Today, one can find this particular product in countries all over the world although curiously enough before 1990 it was sold under the name "Marathon" in some countries (namely the U.K, Ireland and Isle of Man).

Who can name the brand from just half the logo in the image to the right?

Seven years after the brand was founded, a franchise store was opened. 11 years after that, the company had grown to own 200 stores. The brand's logo has not changed much over the years.
This logo belongs to which confectionery company?

This company did not expand into foreign markets until the 1960's. Back then, this product was seen as a gourmet product in the U.S (but not in Germany).

The logo as we know it today was not created until 1956, although back then it was black and white. A year later a colored version of the logo was introduced and has since stayed pretty much the same.
Name this brand.
This brand was founded in 1937 by a man named Vernon Rudolph who got the idea for his business after having worked at his uncle's general store and after having seen a niche in the market. His first store was located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and it was not until the 1950's that the store began to expand throughout the Southeast and not until the 1990's that it began to expand into the rest of the country. Interestingly enough, the brand's logo has barely changed throughout all the years.
This logo represents which one of the below restaurant chains?

Since this brand has not been around for all that long, it only makes sense that its logo has stayed practically the same since it was first introduced in 1982.
