Put your useless brand knowledge to work!

Abccopy_1Advertising people, rejoice. No longer are you a font of useless brand trivia. Today, you are a star. Each of the letters in the chart is taken from a famous brand’s logo (click on the image to see a larger version). How many can you get right? Post your best guesses in the Comments section, if you’re so inclined. And try not to gloat.

(As best as we can tell, the chart comprises images from a piece of installation art called “American Alphabet,” created in 2000 by Brooklyn-based artist Heidi Cody. Also, a designer named Joey Katzen has created something similar, called the Retail Alphabet Game, which features four more charts similar to this one. You can visit that page here.)
