How Well Do You Know Your Car Company Logos?
More than 10,000 people have taken this quiz. Less than 1 percent of them have picked all of the right logos the first time.
In the second quarter of this year, Ford sold more than 650,000 vehicles in the United States alone. That means there were nearly three quarters of a million chances for you to see a Ford logo while you walked your dog or strolled to a coffee shop. Factor in the millions of other vehicles Ford has sold over the decades and the number of times you’ve seen the Blue Oval logo gets a lot of zeroes behind it. But can you remember exactly what it looks like in fine detail? The site WhoCanFixMyCar.com was curious to see if its readers could recall how 20 popular car company logos look, so it devised a quiz for enthusiasts to take to test their automotive memories.
They put the correct version of a company’s logo next to a wrong, slightly altered version. Some of the right answers are immediately obvious. Some just seem that way. Then there are a few that make it clear you have no idea (we found the logos for the brands not sold here in the U.S. to be confusing). The automaker logos in the quiz are down below. You can either go through them and keep your own score or go here and officially take the quiz.
1.) Abarth
We hope you paid attention in your high school biology class.
2.) Aston Martin
Don’t think too hard about this one. Just wing it.
3.) BMW
Your gut instinct here may not be the best way to go.
4.) Ferrari
Both horses prance, but which one is heading the right way?
5.) Ford
A lesson in the importance of serifs.
6.) Honda
This one is all about the exact angle.
7.) Hyundai
If you squint at either one of these, you should be able to see two people shaking hands. Neither one of them will tell you which logo to pick, though.
8.) Jaguar
Both are good kitties, but only one is a good response.
9.) Jeep
Fill in the blanks: When you want to let the sun into a hardtop Jeep Wrangler, you take the ___ ___.
10.) KIA
This oval is red and can be just as hard to remember accurately as a certain blue one.
11.) Koenigsegg
Trust us – don’t be too clever for your own good on this one.
12.) Maserati
If you can’t nail this one, keep it to yourself. And feel ashamed.
13.) Mazda
This one makes us think of how we would draw a particular animal in motion when we were in elementary school.
14.) Peugeot
If we told you we knew this one right off the top of our heads, we’d be lion.
15.) Rolls-Royce
You feel that? That’s you – scratching your own head.
16.) Seat
Take a seat. No, not that one. That one!
17.) Tesla
Good luck with this one.
18.) Vauxhall
Go team!
19.) Volvo
This one has us thinking of Prince. That’s not a bad thing, though.
20.) Volkswagen
We’re sure you’ll be able to separate the right answer from the wrong one.
