A very fun game

The name itself, "The Logo Game", is a little bit misleading and actually does itself a disservice, as it's so much more than just logos.

It's a fun, fairly quick trivia game testing your knowledge on not just logos but also brands, products and ingredients. It's a great game either to play with just 2 players or to play with multiple teams and fortunately isn't anywhere near as long to play as something like Trivial Pursuit. My main criticism though is some of the questions are very age limited. I'm not particularly young and living in a television age, I feel I know quite a few brands and products. However some of the questions and brands mentioned I am completely clueless on and only seem suitable for someone around my mum's age. It's a lot difficult to know brands from before your time than it is to know general knowledge trivia.
