We have all played the game ‘Guess the logo’ on our smartphones at some point or the other. And you didn’t have to be a marketing nerd to play it. Sure, there were levels that forced some of us to take help from Google (including me) but the idea to get it all was too fancy to quit!

While I don’t doubt your logo vocabulary, there still exists a bunch that will widen your eyes. Yes, you have seen them around innumerable times but the subliminal messages or signs hidden within will certainly leave you wanting for more.
