Remember when you first saw how a prism could divide sunlight into individual bands of a color spectrum? I always thought that was pretty cool. Now, what if you had a different kind of prism - one that could separate a picture into individual bands of colors that were used to make it? I know this might sound a little funny, but I am intrigued by how familiar some images are in our collective pop culture psyche. Could we recognize them just by their color spectrum? The pop culture images that are most recognizable are logos - corporate logos and brand logos are usually made of just a few very carefully chosen colors. So hereÃ¢??s the game: take a look at the color spectrum below. You have 20 questions to identify the logo that it belongs to. Note: the width of each color band represents the overall use of that color within the logo. I'll start off with a really good hint: you often see this logo while driving.

Same hint - you see this while driving (actually, I guess you see just about everything while driving) Okay, another hint - this is relatively recent 're-imagining' of a logo that has been around for a long time.

You're very good at this. I'm going to take a break and go back to work. I'll try to think of something more obscure in the meantime.

"Stop punching yourself! Stop punching yourself!" Stop banning yourself! Stop banning yourself! Maybe this game would be harder if you weren't playing it with your kin. Bring on the spectrums, Jupiter!
