Most of the hex values are sourced from http://brandcolors.net/ (thanks @galengidman!), but I'm slowly adding others to make the challenge more engaging.
I'd love to know what you think! Thanks

- cstrat 13y agolove the simple idea, very fun. I got more correct than I would like to admit.
- rodw 13y agoIt's interesting how some of these (Facebook, for example) are so immediately recognizable. I don't even use Facebook but I immediately recognized the "Facebook blue" thanks to (I suppose) those ubiquitous Like buttons. They've done a good job branding.
- wikwocket 13y agoI got 11 out of 12 of these before I stopped in amazement. I felt like I was guessing a lot but I kept being right... clearly branding is a subtle but powerful force! Oh by the way, you should totally package this as a smartphone game. Based on all the "identify this logo" games out there, it could definitely go viral. Plus it should be easy to program. ;)
- rodw 13y ago> Based on all the "identify this logo" games out there, it could definitely go viral. This is a clever idea. Given the relative ease of creating such a program you should totally do it. If it were popular enough, you might even find a way to get smaller companies to "sponsor" their branding coming up in the quiz more often. I didn't really recognize "Behance" in the current quiz, for example, but now I've looked it up to satisfy my curiosity.
- collypops 13y agoI don't know how I feel about promotion, but I's be silly to rule anything out at this stage. Thanks for your comments.
- collypops 13y agoThanks for the feedback. The app is already in the works!
