1000 People Were Asked To Recognize These Pop Culture Logos, And The Results Are Worse Than Expected

WunderWaffe and Black Widow apparently...

Look up the symbol for the alt rock/punk band "WEEZER" .. looks alot like the Wonder woman Symbol

Well, the Spider-Man symbol does look like the Arachnos insignia from the old City of Heroes MMORPG.... Can't say anything about the Wonder Woman, though.

Wrong. Wonder Woman was never as popular as DC likes to pretend. The Big 3 was a marketing gimmick in the 90s, but she has never been able to support 1/5 of the comics that Batman or Superman do. Almost all she produces is merchandise and that is stuff like bedsheets and backpacks for little girls who don't actually pick it, who have it picked for them (compared to Batman merch which is largely bought by adults who love Batman). Before the movie boostd her recognition to this rating, I doubt Wonder Woman's logo would have scored above 50%

That’s the Weezer logo...duh. 😅

I know Spiderman (saw cartoons when growing up), I never saw Wonder Woman, though.

Whaaaaaaat?

You will, his Netflix series is coming out in a few months.

More or less?

Actually it makes complete sense. These weren't just handed out to die hard fans of the series. A badger in a badge would be more recognisable because there aren't many coats of arms with badgers on them. Whereas the lion is used in real life coats arms and many many fictional stories. Think about it.. Game of Thrones, The Lion the witch and the wardrobe.. royal families from fictional stories.. it's a common symbol.

I suppose the Gryffindor symbol could have been interpretted as Lannister coat of arms.

Hufflepuffs matter too! I'm a Hufflepuff.

To be fair... most people would be in Hufflepuff :)

yep!

The percentage is strange, it adds up to 100 %. My guess is the survey is either fake for sake of clicks, or the percentage means something else than what is written.

IKR?!?!

I know! More people recognize the Dark Mark than recognize Gryffindor?

Probably because of Newt...

IKR!

I disagree how many iconic movie logos are there? Movies don’t ussualy choose to brand themselves like that.

yeah well that's the point right?

Same

Same here.

me either lol

Me either.

Or read the books I take it.

For those who read the books their sigil is obvious. Highgarden.

I don't recognise any of these, as I don't play video games and never have. I don't see the problem.

I don't play video games either but I recognized the triforce, but is understandable. I watched a lot of video game related stuff so I knew what it is. Not everyone watches those kinds of stuff.

It doesn't confuse me so much that people didn't recognize the Triforce... but I'm supposed to believe that twice as many people recognized the Hylian Crest??? I mean, it *contains* the Triforce for goodness sake.

The first thing I think when somebody mentions LoZ is "HYaaArRGhH!"

Also the triforce is literally ON the Hylian Crest

Maybe because not everyone cares? I practically grew up with the rise of games and I never cared about Zelda, never watched Zelda related content, never bothered to look it up. So it's pretty much only "iconic" to people who cared about playing mainstream games.

I don't even play Zelda but I knew that was the triforce

My theory is that these symbols were presented out of context. People probably expected real companies etc.

And if they surveyed the same 1000 people, how do you identify the crest of hyrule and not the triforce?

You mean it's not the symbol for radiation?

...it's a triangle within another triangle - not exactly iconic in my book. I've played a few Zelda games, and I didn't get it. Had an "oh, duh" moment when I read it, though.

because people have lives and didn't play Zelda???? just saying!

I would be confused if there were two symbols for the same game. Just saying.

I got 10 that I knew

It looks like a number of those comics were developed in the 80's or later, so it's not exactly fair to judge a person born in the 60's on their knowledge of Spawn or Nightwing. Then you have Gen X, my generation. Those of us born in the 70's have this bad habit of never acting our age. It's not surprising to see we rank high in comic book knowledge. We're kids with jobs.

No, some things are just more prevalent in certain decades. Comic books were not always considered the art form they are today. Up until the 1980's, comic books were universally considered children's literature.

I believe it's also a question of accessability of popculture when you are in a learning age of say 10-25 years old.
