You're right for most of them. Turns out I am far less aware than I thought!
But I have never seen these in my life:
8) Chevy
10) Zynga
12) Greyhound

What is Zynga?

ETA - ditto General Electric. As in never seen.

The Google one really stumped me too.
I use Google and swear I have never seen that logo either.
But I guess I must have done, which is why I admit to being unaware.

Zynga is international -it's on facebook -ask Limey, Yes, some of them are US-oriented, but some of them are not -HMV is British, two more of those as yet unidentified are not mainstream in the US. I knew Greyhound before I left the US -it's in lots of movies. I bet many Europeans know Chevy. Just not all of them.

And it's not Google, that's why.

You just can't win everything

It's not ignorance, they're supposed to be hard. They may even require research. it's no fun if the first one to see the quiz can answer all of them, is it?

...and I went to great lengths to try and give it an international flavor.

And 13 is a movie, something animated. I want to say something by Tim Burton, except none of his movies have a G in them.
