IYO... the top 5 most recognize logos/trademarks around the world....

[Dancing Fire]

what are the company names?

 

[JulieN]

Coca Cola, Mercedes-Benz, the crucifix (Catholic Church), Mickey Mouse (Disney)...no #5 for me.

 

[Maisie]

Mcdonalds, Pepsi, Coca Cola.... can''t think of anymore.. Just woke up!

 

[Lynnie]

McDonalds popped into my head first. I agree with maisie... Coke and Pepsi. Nike?

 

[Delster]

Companies only? Because in terms of recognisable logos worldwide I'd say the logos of the UN, the Red Cross, and the Olypmics but those aren't companies...



Companies, off the top of my head:

McDonalds

Playboy

Apple

Coca-Cola

CNN / BBC / Sky / Al-Jazeera?



ETA - what does IYO stand for?

 

[diamondfan]

agree with Disney/Mickey (the mouse ears silhouette), for me too the Juicy Couture Logo and the Apple computer logo, the NBC Peacock and the Chanel CC''s. Not sure about Coke as it says Coca Cola so I read it but I recognize the style of writing.

 

[KimberlyH]

Nike
Coke
Tiffany (the blue box)
McDonalds
Playboy

I thought these four too and also BMW as my fifth.

 

[Ninama]

There must be hundreds of them imprinted on my mind... but these are from a list of most recognizable logos/symbols:

 

[Tuckins1]

McDonalds and Coke for sure...

 

[TravelingGal]

As far as brand awareness, according to the Harris Poll, the number one most recognized brand in the world is....

SONY.

Top spot for 7 years running 2000-2006, only to be ousted by Coca Cola in 2007 (Sony slipped to #2).

 

[angel_nieves]

McDonalds (yuck)
Coca-Cola
Playboy

 

[Elmorton]

Ditto to the yuck McD's
Nike
Coke
Adidas
Apple
Disney
Mercedes

..I'm really surprised about Sony, btw! I would have never thought that would be no. 1.

 

[simplysplendid]

mcdonald''s and coke

 

[icekid]

McDonalds, Coca Cola, Disney, Nike, Starbucks are the first that come to mind for me..

 

[lovegem]

how about microsoft''s Windows?

 

[beau13]

Well..according to google, they are....

Ah..I''ll let you tell them Dancingfire.

 

[pennquaker09]

Would the Crucifix and Star of David be referred to as logos or trademarks? I don''t know how I feel about that.

I think the top 5 are, Mickey Mouse (Disney), McDonalds, Google, Coke-Cola (even though Pepsi is better), and I think Nike.
