About This Quiz

Advertising is all around us. From television and radio commercials to newer media, such as online advertising, it's hard to ignore. It can be especially hard when a company has a lovable mascot. 

For example, Mickey Mouse is one of the most iconic advertising characters of all time. He is also just as important as a cartoon character. His true importance can be found when visiting Disney parks, where you can find the character's silhouette almost anywhere you look. You might not even realize it!

So many advertising characters have become icons that they have become the subject of parodies as well. Just have a look at the Starbucks logo, for example. One thing that many logos have in common is the fact that they are often based on animals. Despite many being animals, they often vary in appearance to match the brand they are representing. You'll probably never get to see a real tiger play Tony the Tiger.

If you think you're a true expert on the most famous company mascots, now is the chance to prove your knowledge. Try your hand at identifying all 40 of the ones in this quiz to see if you're a master of mascots!
