The logo of a multinational brand needs to be recognizable in any language, which is why so much time and effort goes into developing a strong design. But it’s still fun to see what Subway’s logo looks like in Chinese, or what Pizza Hut looks like in Farsi.
I collected 20 of these amazing “domesticated” logos from multinational companies below. Can you guess what languages they’re in and that companies they belong to? Take a guess, and then select the blank space above the image to find out the correct answer. And feel free to add more fine examples in the comments!
