You may recognize them when you see them, but do you know the proper names for the shapes of well-known symbols? Take the Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss to see how you stack up! I scored 100%, but I had to do some heavy thinking. Link

    Me too…but I had to look up what the Orkin logo looked like… kind of obscure, no?

    Also, I’m going to have to remember Vesica Piscis… that has the potential to make me look smart one of these days!

    I got Orkin and Chevy switched around; I didn’t know what either logo was supposed to look like, so I just guessed. Got the others correct, though, and would have goten those right if I’d seen the logos.
