22 out of 36, would have been 24 but I couldn't spell Anheuser-Busch, or John Deere properly.

Can't believe I didn't recognize the Guinness logo. /face palm

33/36

I missed Marriott, Sporcle and Sprint/Nextel. I felt pretty dumb about missing Sporcle since the quiz is on sporcle.com and the logo is in the top left corner.

I also didn't spell Anheuser-Busch and John Deere correctly.
Atari was a face palm.
Some like Prudential and Dream Works I've seen a million times and just couldn't place it with the name.

Hilton changed their logo since I last saw it and I don't know what the hell Sporcle, Inc. is.

30 I missed Marriott International, Sporcle Inc., Chevron Corporation, and Adobe because I was clueless to their logos. I missed Anheuser-Busch and Guinness because I could not spell them.

33, but I had to dig deep into my head.

Some brands are seldom seen in Canada.

1 out of 36.

I got Guinness and then stopped to go drink a Guinness.

That's a good logo.

31.

Missed: Sporcle, Prudential, Marriott, Safeway and Boeing.

I'm pretty unhappy I missed Boeing, my dad used to fly their airplanes regularly, each time coming home with a giddy expression on his face.

31/36. Technically 29/36 but it wouldn't accept atari for atari inc or anheuser bush for anheuser-bush.
