designed to be popular and to appeal to a global market and yet it sucks bigtime. What went wrong? Discuss.

Clean, distinctive and only on sale for 6 more hours.
Interesting site:

Edit:
FWIW It's arguably more 'branding' than 'logos' .. but the cigarette manufacturers' work over the past decade or so is interesting to study.
ie. Since they've clocked greater and greater advertising restrictions.
The zenith has become (in certain circumstances) that a single colour is all that is needed: Red=Marlboro, Purple=Silk Cut)
Morally questionable? Sure. Clever? Absolutely.

I like the logo more than the music:

and this one seems to have lasted well:

Not really a 'favourite', but an interesting example that transcends languages across the globe and is such a good logo they keep it despite it being a byword for US imperialism and crap burgers.

Again, not a 'favourite', but a good example of a symbol that has been used for as long as humans have existed. Cave paintings, tribal art, etc. It's a protector, agressor, sign of power.

The Ducati logo brilliant, strong & simple

Can't be that good can it...I wouldn't have had a clue what it was only that you said it. And I know what a Ducati is...obviously they haven't worked hard enough at the logo.
Unlike say, thinking about logos that don't have the company name, but you know immediately who they are, I suppose car companies are strong, but maybe only because we see them every day e.g.

Like this one though...especially the Windows Vista - a mishmash of a "reliable" and unreliable brand!!

I've always liked this one
[img]

don't know why
just found out it was designed by Salvador Dali!
[img]

Quite well known..
More of a word than a logo but the style has remained unchanged since it's conception.

And from that, as an interesting aside, scroll down to the bottom of the page, there's an eye opener.

On the Coca-Cola one, doesn't the swirl follow the same contour as the original glass bottle?

Fedex for me, just love telling people to spot the subliminal arrow.

It's universally understood - as far as I know. But then so are the Merc and McDonalds and Nike ones.
gotothehills - Is the Swiss flag a logo then?
😉
Simple but easily remembered!

Simple, classic.
WorldClassAccident - Membergotothehills - Is the Swiss flag a logo then?
Hmmm - let's play "spot the difference" 😉
your starter for 10 - The Swiss Flag:
[img] 
[/img]
and your bonus for 5 "The flag of the Red Cross"
[img] 
[/img]
You're right to make the link though, WCA - I think it's considered to be the case that it was the reversed out Swiss flag design that reflected the country / neutrality / founder of said organisation.
olympic rings - all that linking and teaching the world to sing and everything
gonetothehills - Well done, I wasn't sure if you would pick up on the original reference.

total simplicity, immediately identifiable, in whatever colour and whatever background...no text needed
[i]@WCA[/i]: "Why thank you!" [doffs cap] 🙂
A degree spent watching John Smith's and Flake commercials hasn't been completely wasted then!

Simple, Italian, cool.
Not that popular these days, but caused quite a furore in the forties.

LsD seems to know his stuff. All instantly recognisable logo's, and can be instantly tied to the brand in question, which presumably is the whole point of logo's.
