Saturday Morning Quiz: Name That Web 2.0 Logo

54 Comments

by Erick Schonfeld on December 27, 2008

Besides the funny names and bad spellings, one hallmark of Web startups over the past few years has been the creative use of logos. Often you know a startup by its logo more than by its name, especially if it is for a Web app whose site you don’t actually visit that often. Instead, the logo appears as a favicon in your browser address window, or as an icon on another site.

How well do you know your Web 2.0 logos? Take this quiz to find out. There are 33 logos. See how many you can name. Most of them are easy, but there are a few tricky ones thrown in.

Check out the other quizzes at Quizable while you’re at it, like “Name That Villain” or “Football Haircuts.”

Nice game,

But I think the Social Web Memory game my company Cloud Nine created as a seasonal greeting to our clients and partners is more educational.

http://memory.cloudnine.se/

But it’s in Swedish.
Enough requests to info@cloudnine.se and we just might translate it

No Patrick your site isn’t educational it’s lame spam

The pairs memory game is a little weird as not all tiles appear to have a pair?

So it just gets a little pointless/frustrating!

  I just played it and all all tiles had a pair.
  
  If you don’t mind, please email me a screen dump to pass on to the flash developer.

…there a few I just can’t get. How do I find the answers?

Autocatalytic - December 27th, 2008 at 10:05 am PST

TinEye.com image search was fairly impressive for finding a few of these.

Marco - December 27th, 2008 at 10:06 am PST

15/33. I missed 1, 5, 8, 11, 16-22, 25, 27, and 29-33.

I’m about half Web 2.0, which is respectable and accurate! I’m half old-fashioned after all…

Wow this is really interesting. I had no idea how petite my logo knowledge was. I’ve made a few logo’s for myself on my website but i still haven’t found the right one.

I took this quiz and noticed that there are a few websites missing out of the equation, whereas some of the ones on this list I’ve never seen before.

Buenísima plataforma, me encantan los juegos de preguntas y respuestas con elementos informáticos, tecnológicos o de la web 2.0… me recuerda a LOGODE, el juego de los logotipos de empresas, productos y programas relacionados con la informática y la tecnología, que desarrollé. Espero que os guste la recomendación. Un saludo.
