Who Has The Smarts To Get 100% On This Food Logo Quiz?
Isn't marketing crazy? Think about it, advertisers have somehow managed to link our brains to one image for the rest of our lives. If we see an apple with a bite taken out of it, we automatically think about Mac products. The iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch -- so many products linked to one single image without any words or lettering. The same goes for a check mark for the NIKE brand. Even without the "just do it" tagline, something in our brain connects that image to sneakers, the Run Club app, and sporting equipment. These brands are forever embedded in our brains thanks to commercials, news ads, radio blasts, and billboards. We can't escape it, which can actually be pretty spooky.
It's like when social media sites recommend products for us based on our Google search or the conversation we had over dinner last night. Always listening, always tuned in. And it's not just for retail or technology! Even the food companies have stepped up their marketing tactics. Now, we associate the color green with healthy produce (think about the Whole Foods lettering) and the color red with spice -- think about Chili's and Chipotle. Not to mention, the majority of fast food places have coined the red and yellow combination. We dare all the foodies out there to try and guess these logos correctly!
Name this place!
We're going to start with some easier food logos. This place, in particular, has served over 99 billion people, according to the sign on their windows -- and that number keeps on rising every year! If we had to think of one of the original fast food joints, these golden arches definitely come to mind. It started out as a place where workers could sit down and grab a quick burger but has since evolved to have a drive through and other menu options. Their fries are delicious!
This logo belongs to...
In the mood for some quick food from Mexico? This place might do the trick! Of course, it would be wrong to say this place has authentic cuisine. It has more of a western spin on classics such as taco, burritos, and quesadillas by topping everything with extra cheese, sour cream, and Dorita chips. This place serves a beef taco salad, the Crunchwrap Supreme, and occasionally serves nacho fries depending on the season. Love spicey things? Add Fire and Diable spicy sauces on top!
What is this place called?
Stuck on this one? Here's a big hint: this fast food place is a popular woman's name. This place is slightly different from other fast food restaurants in that it prides itself on being fresh. No frozen beef, no frozen burgers. It also has some healthier options like freshly made salads and wraps. Be careful of the sauces, though, there's always a surprising number of calories in Ranch or Thousand Island dressing. The best thing on this menu might be the chicken nuggets.
Where is this person eating?
We had to be careful with this one because the name of the place is included right in the logo. Hopefully, this picture doesn't reveal too much! The yellow star of this place is its most recognizable feature when driving along the highway. It's red, yellow, and is always in a good mood -- the same way people might feel after eating on their burgers. This place has other menu items, but burgers seem to be the most popular. Their website features eight classic burgers.
Can any adults recognize this logo?
This food is advertised as part of a nutritious breakfast. In commercials, it's usually paired with buttered toast, orange juice, and a slice of fruit. Ironically, this food item isn't nearly as healthy as it seems to young children. It's actually loaded with sugar and empty carbs, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. This leprechaun is more of a mascot than a logo with this food brand. It can be found in one of the aisles at the supermarket.
Name this restaurant!
This place is considered more a restaurant than a fast food establishment. Here, guests are able to sit down and have waiter service if they choose -- or they can order take-out and pick up the meal themselves. Ordering food here takes slightly longer than at fast food places because it's all made to order. It comes out fresh from an actual kitchen. If diners aren't in the mood for food, this place offers some delicious, albeit sugary, lemonades, milkshakes, and smoothies.
Match this logo to a name!
This lovely mermaid woman hails from Seattle where this food and beverage establishment was founded. It started as a local coffee shop and has since grown into a worldwide phenomenon. We can't go anywhere without seeing this green sign. It's famous for its coffee drinks that change seasonally. In the fall, coffee enthusiasts can look forward to pumpkin spice lattes. In the summer, this place usually whips up some kind of multi-colored drink. They had mermaid and unicorn-themed drinks in recent years.
This place needs a name!
This place has no shortage of cheesy goodness! They offer extra cheese on their pizzas, blue cheese sauce with their wings, cheesy breadsticks, cheesy pasta, and so much more. The name of this take-out and delivery place happens to be one of the food items they specialize in, but which one? Is it pizza? Pasta? Heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies on Valentine's Day? Yes, that's a real thing. They even offer heart-shaped pizzas on that special day. Take a guess at this food logo!
Hungry? Name this food logo!
Better be hungry because this place offers 15 different sandwiches on their website! But if none of those sound good, feel free to customize any order. Guests can build their own sandwich from scratch starting with bread and then moving onto cheese, veggies, meats, sauces, and whether or not they want it toasted. This place also offers chips and cookies with their meals, turning an order into a combo meal with a soda. This place is famous for serving foot-long sandwiches.
Love chocolate? Prove it with this logo!
Halloween just wouldn't be the same without this iconic chocolate! It comes in many shapes, flavors, and sizes, including the form of a regular chocolate bar and the smaller triangular shape in this picture. These bite-size snacks go by an affectionate name that's the opposite of a hug. The wrapping of this chocolate changes seasonally. In the fall, it's usually orange and in the winter it turns into shades of red, green, and white. The silhouette of this shape has become the logo used in advertisements.
Only foodies can name this logo!
Unlike most fast food places, this spot specializes in one thing only. It belongs to every single menu item but is served in different ways. People can order buckets of it, wraps, sandwiches, bowls -- and it always comes fried. They have this one dish that's reminiscent of Thanksgiving dinner: chicken, cheesy mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn. If diners have a sweet tooth, they can also order ice cream as dessert. This place is a fan favorite down in the south.
Quick -- name this logo!
Hold up -- we had no idea this place did delivery! Now it has our full attention! This fast food spot is famous for one protein in particular: chicken. That's chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have this yummy spicy chicken sandwich that's served with large waffle fries and dipping sauces. When the Atlanta airport experienced a power outage for nearly 12 hours, this place delivered free chicken sandwiches for the staff and travelers stuck inside. Go ahead and name this logo!
This logo needs a home.
Feeling extra lazy today? No worries, because this place delivers in under an hour! We haven't met a single person on this planet who doesn't like at least one type of pizza. Here, people can customize their order to exactly what they want from the crust to the veggies, cheese, and meats. On the rare occasion that someone isn't in the mood for pizza, this place has pasta and wings on the menu as well, along with a drool-worthy molten lava cake.
Match this logo to a name!
For the longest time, we had no idea that this place served actual food. We thought it was a dessert place that only served up amazing blizzards and ice cream cups. But no, some locations offer a full lunch menu with sandwiches, wraps, and burgers. Other locations, however, are too small to have a full kitchen. The savory items here are hardly advertised on TV as much as the blizzards and shakes. They love adding candy on top, like M&Ms and Oreo crumbles.
Try and name this logo!
This logo was also hard to find as the name is so heavily included. But we didn't want to make this quiz too easy, so we found a part of their logo -- the coffee cup. Don't be fooled, though, this place does so much more than coffee. Apparently, if TV commercials have taught us anything, America runs on this place. They even have their own food and beverage lounge on 'America's Got Talent.' Their most popular menu item is donuts!
Where have we seen this logo?
Is there any better combination that sports and wings? This place is considered more of a restaurant than a fast food place. Guests have the option to either sit down at the bar or in the lounge or, place a takeout order and eat their food at home. If they choose to dine-in, they'll likely be sitting in front of a hundred TVs all playing a different sport, probably football. This place is famous for serving boneless and bone-in wings with many spicy sauces to choose from.
Only 90s kids can remember this logo!
The restaurant-turned-arcade place has seen better days. In the 90s and early 2000s, this place was booming in business. It seems every kid wanted to celebrate their birthday party here, and who could blame them? It has pizza and games! Unfortunately, it's been gradually going out of business and it seems to get worse year and year. Now, there are almost none of these places left. Millennials might remember this place advertised on TV and on the radio. Guess this logo!
Name this ever-changing logo!
This logo might be hard to guess because it's changed over time. That while line in the center used to horizontal and now it's going somewhat vertical. We're not exactly sure when this drink company changed its mind, but it's one of the most popular beverage logos we'll find. When grocery shoppers walk down the beverage aisle into the soda section, they'll likely see this red, blue, and white emblem on cans and bottles. It has a rival drink that some say tastes exactly the same.
This tricky logo has a name...
We'll be the first to admit that this logo is tough. This fast food place doesn't have many locations left but there is one place pop culture fans might recognize it from. In the movie Austin Powers, this statue is seen on top of a building. It also happens to be one of Dr. Evil's hiding places. It's extremely unlikely that we'll ever see this logo driving down the street or highway. It must have been in the 80s when this burger spot was booming.
Match a food place with this logo!
Cheese enthusiasts should love this place! On its menu, we'll find the ExtraMostBestest Stuffed Crust Pizza that's made with over three feet of cheese! For those of us looking for something classic, the pizza options at this place are something to brag about. They have everything pizza-related we could ever want, including a customer pizza builder tool and their Reserve-N-Ready service that ensures our pizza will be fresh out of the oven when we go pick it up. Can't beat that!
Only hardcore foodies can name this logo!
Out of all the burger places, this one shockingly remains one of the most unfamiliar. And yet, so many people can't stop raving about their quick service and impeccable sales year after year. This Texas-based company demonstrated why it's become such a household name last summer when it became a major contributor in Hurricane Harvey relief. The friendly and kind faces behind this fast food establishment helped rebuild communities and provide resources for survival. They have big burgers and big hearts.
This logo belongs to...
We wouldn't call this place fast food, but that's not to say they don't pride themselves on speed. Rumor has it this place has some of the fastest delivery out of all its competitors. Could it be because they deliver their sandwiches via bike instead of driving a car? Whatever their secret is, it's working. In the summer, this famous sandwich shop announced its “Freak Yeah” ad series, which highlights the “Freaky Fast” nature of its restaurant operations. It's a part of their new marketing plan to draw in new customers.
Can seafood lovers name this logo?
We've mentioned a lot of burger and pizza places on this list, but let's not forget about seafood. Just because it comes from the sea, doesn't mean it has to break the bank. There are ways to buy affordable seafood at a casual restaurant. This place wouldn't be considered a fast food joint as guests are greeted by a host or hostess and taken to their table where they order from a waitress. If there's one sea creature this place cooks well, it's lobster.
Name this popular mall logo!
If only we had a nickel for every time we last-minute purchases a pretzel or lemonade from this spot! It seems to be a popular choice for malls to include in their food courts. There aren't many pretzel fast food spots out there, which makes this establishment a diamond in the ruff. In the mood for sweet? No worries, this place has cinnamon pretzels on their menu. In the mood for savory? Yep, they have salted pretzels with cheesy queso sauce.
Have a sweet tooth? Name this logo!
Okay, let's get to the good stuff. Let's talk about dessert! How many people out there don't feel fully satisfied with their meal if it doesn't come with something sweet at the end? We should always end on a sweet note. At this place, there is no shortage of options to indulge in that sweet tooth. This place makes birthday cakes, sundaes, and ice cream sandwiches with cookies on each side of a scoop. Oh, and when it comes to flavors, this place has a bunch!
Think hard to name this logo!
If Starbucks is famous for coffee, this place is equally as famous for tea. According to their website, their bottled teas come in six vibrant varieties layered with bright fruit flavors and made for today. Everything is made fresh to order! There seems to be two kinds of people in this world: those that love coffee in the morning and those that prefer tea. If morning commuters need an extra pep in their step, try drinking black tea for that kick of caffeine.
Name this breakfast logo!
This tiger is more of a mascot than a logo. He goes by the name, Tony The Tiger, and it's rare to see his face on the side of the highway while driving on a road trip. Instead, it's more likely to see his face inside the grocery store in one of the aisles. His tagline goes something like, "They're not good, they're g-g-g-great!" Tony The Tiger has a deep voice and a cheerful spirit. It's no wonder kids love eating his product for breakfast.
Hurry -- where does this logo belong?
No road trip is complete without a plastic bag full of snacks from the gas station. This mustache man is the logo for a very famous chip brand. Not only does it come in a variety of flavors, but each chip also stacks so perfectly on top of the other. It's like eating art! The best-selling flavors are chive and onion, paprika, pizza, cheddar cheese, baked potato, french onion dip, and sea salt. Ugh, now we're so hungry after all that!
Which place is this the logo for?
Whoever said sweet stuff has to be unhealthy and loaded with sugar clearly has never eaten at this place! This establishment specializes in frozen yogurt, a much healthier alternative for ice cream and soft serve. Diners can either add fruit or chocolate toppings to their froyo or turn it into a smoothie. Their flavors change year-round depending on the seasons, inviting pumpkin, cinnamon, and more caramel flavors in the fall. The big showstopper on their website is La Dolce Vita, made with milk ice cream and low-fat tiramisu.
Match this spotted logo!
This fellow is Chester the Cheetah. He's the mascot for one spicy and delicious chip brand. Shoppers can find his product in the same aisle as Lays and Fritos. Fair warning about these chips, they always leave our fingers covered in orange dust so we have to be very careful about touching anything afterwards. That orange stuff gets everywhere! Chester can sometimes be seen with fire coming out of his mouth as these chips can get seriously warm depending on the bag people buy.
What product does this logo belong to?
Yummm! One look at this chocolatey goodness is enough to make anyone hungry. This product right here is more of an icon than a logo. It's the shape that's most important as most of us can instantly recognize this chocolate product without any words or lettering. From the jagged edges to the bite in the center, this product is a very popular choice amongst Halloween treat-or-treaters. Kids and adults alike would love to find this piece of chocolate in their baskets!
What treat is paired with this logo?
We had no idea this food logo also comes in the form of children's toys, but hey, points for cross-marketing! This yellow cowboy is the face of one sweet treat that's slowly dropping in popularity. With so many other dessert brands taking over, this treat isn't seen as much in grocery stores. It created a big splash when it was first invented in 1930 by James Dewar from Illinois. Yeah, that's how old this treat is. It has a cream filling and a yellowish shell.
This bunny logo needs a home!
Where is this bunny hopping off to? It belongs to a brand of products made by Nestlé. Way back in 1948, Nestlé launched a mix for chocolate-flavored milk and designed this happy brown bunny as its logo. The bunny is mostly seen drinking his or her product with a straw in a yellow shirt. This Switzerland-based mix was released throughout Europe during the 1950s. It eventually made its way across the ocean but isn't nearly as popular in North America.
What does this P logo stand for?
Let's be honest, sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day to cook a meal at home. We've had a long day at work and the only amount of energy we have left should be spent ordering food at the drive-through. This fast food place is best recognized for its orange sign and capital P. It's named after a cartoon character who wears an eyepatch, is in love with a woman named Olive, and has big muscles. Sometimes his face appears on the logo, too.
Recognize this gum logo?
We've probably spent so much extra money on last-minute gum purchases at the checkout line. Gum is just one of those things that we can never have too much of. It runs out so fast and when we're caught without it after dinner, it can make us question our breath. It's always nice to have gum in our purse or backpack. The question is, which brand do we go with? There are so many! This S shape is iconic for one gum brand in particular.
