A new logo quiz challenges people to identify famous company brands from the 1930s. The trivia game tests whether you can recognize how major corporations looked nearly a century ago.
Many of today’s biggest companies had completely different logos in the 1930s, making this quiz surprisingly tricky. Some brands you use every day looked nothing like they do now.
When Brands Looked Different
The 1930s was a pivotal decade for American business, with many companies establishing themselves during the Great Depression. Their logos reflected the design trends of the era – bold, simple graphics that could work in newspapers and on storefronts.
Companies like Coca-Cola, Ford, and IBM were already around, but their visual identity was often radically different. Typography was more ornate, colors were limited by printing technology, and many logos included elaborate illustrations that would seem outdated today.
The quiz reveals how much corporate branding has evolved. What seemed cutting-edge in 1935 now looks vintage and nostalgic.
A Trip Back in Time
Taking the quiz is like flipping through an old magazine. You’ll see logos that feel both familiar and foreign – the essence of brands you know, but wrapped in 1930s style.
Some companies have barely changed their logos at all, while others have gone through complete makeovers multiple times. The quiz highlights which brands have staying power and which ones have reinvented themselves for new generations.
