Rules & what counts
Car Brand Logo Quiz — Rules & What Counts
Fifty-seven badges, zero help. This quiz shows the emblems of the world's best-known car brands with the wordmarks cut away wherever possible — so you're recognizing the actual mark, not reading the answer off the card.
The famous ones fall fast; the real test is mid-pack. The spread is genuinely global too: Japan, Germany, the US, and the UK anchor the set, but marques from 16 countries make the board — including Malaysia, Romania, India, China, Russia, and Australia.
Each solved card reveals the brand's country of origin, turning a logo quiz into a small world tour of the auto industry.
How to play
Start typing — answers are checked on every keystroke and the matching badge flips immediately; there's no submit button.
Common shorthands count: "VW", "Chevy", "Merc", and "Lambo" are all accepted.
Accents are optional — "Citroen" and "Skoda" work without the diacritics.
Logos sit on a light backing in both themes, so dark badge linework stays visible in dark mode.
The count-up timer starts at your first keystroke; Give Up reveals every badge you missed, and progress autosaves as you go.
What counts in this quiz
57 marques — mainstream, luxury, and exotic makes from 16 countries, including defunct legends alongside current brands.
Emblem-only artwork: standalone wordmarks were stripped from the badges so the brand name never appears on the card.
A few marks where the design IS the name (like the stylized KIA mark) were left intact — for those, reading it is fair game.
Card order is a fixed shuffle, so same-country marques don't sit together and hint at one another.
What's not included — and why
Ford, Fiat, Land Rover, BYD, MG, and Nissan aren't in the quiz: their logos are essentially the brand name in an oval or box, so showing them would print the answer on the card. They were swapped for marques with a real emblem, such as Abarth and Vauxhall.
Good to know
The BMW roundel isn't a spinning propeller — it's the blue and white of the Bavarian flag. The propeller story came from a 1929 advertisement and never went away.
Ferrari's prancing horse belonged to WWI flying ace Francesco Baracca; his mother suggested Enzo Ferrari put it on his cars for luck.
The Mercedes three-pointed star stands for engines on land, at sea, and in the air — Daimler's original ambition.
Subaru's badge is the Pleiades star cluster — "Subaru" is its Japanese name, and the six stars represent the companies that merged to form the firm.
