Capitalism knows no bounds! A third round of bizarre corporate mergers has taken place. Can you guess the two companies that merged based on their new logo?
There's actually two companies. In 1955 Yamaha Corporation established Yamaha Motor Company as a subsidiary, although now it's "mostly" independent. ('Mostly,' because Yamaha Corporation still holds about 10% of the motor company's stock.) The original corporation began in 1887 by making musical instruments, which is still a major part of their business - hence the tuning fork logo.
Didn't know their logo. Well, I'm sure I've seen it before but I remember the font more than the logo. I also think of motorbikes and keyboards rather than automotives. They don't look like something you see on the streets often (the cars not the keyboards obviously).
I indeed woulndt have known the logo though I can picture the font. Though even putting it as electronics or motorbikes I would not have gotten it. If you don't recongnise the logo.
So I think it is fine the way it is.(though maybe I would have had a lightbulb moment if it had said keyboards+motorbikes). But still no reason to change I think.
(There are three other I would change though, see my other comment.)
I thought they were Australian (they were founded there) but apparently have been owned by a British company for nearly 30 years. The same company also owns Mitre.
I have heard of all but three, never heard of mills, under armour or campbell ( though that last one is starting to ring a bell slightly, must ve been in connection to any warhole)
People who love brands should remember what the original purpose was - for folk to mark their property. Steers have enough sense to wish to avoid this, but humans line up voluntarilyโฆ
Never heard of under armour, general mills or campells. The other all have universal recognition (regardless of availability). So perhaps switch those for some brands that people could have heard of.
Excellent idea though!
Edit I only now see the image for the quiz, Love it
yeah, General Mills and Campbells are rather obscure American companies. they've each only been around for 150+ years and have products that are sold in over 100 countries across the planet but lets drop them from the quiz. :)
under armour is a newbie comparatively so i'll grant you that one.
