1_ AT&T – assuming with the old halftone globe?
2_ FedEx – Ferret as in FedEx? ...and the arrow in the negative space impaled in the 'x' perhaps?
3_ Shell – possibly because it's wrinkled (ironically) with dwindling oil reserves?
4_ Nike / Apple ???
5_ British Rail – pretty certain about this one, despite my indecision!
6_ Penguin? – Just because I actually like the London 2012 design, despite any negative public / media opinion. Or now I think about it, Pingu would be a better nickname... strange visions of yellow snow now...

Would be great if someone 'Magnus AKA quiz master' posts the correct answers for us at some point please!

I thought both 1 and 4 could be NASA? Their ultracool 1970s logo was known as 'the worm'. And 'meatball' is the nickname for their original/current logo (the blue circle with the swooshes).

When the current RBS symbol was designed (many years ago by a designer friend of mine) it was referred to by the Edinburgh head office staff as 'The flying arsehole'.
Given RBS' recent performance I suggest that might be thought of as overly polite.

1. The meatball = First NASA logo (what NASA people called it)

2. The ferret and dartboard = old British Rail

3. The crows' feet = Britiish Rail or the peace sign

4. The worm = NASA Danne & Blackburn logotype design (now no longer used and also what NASA people called it)

5. The arrows of indecision = Britiish Rail

6. The bird splat = London 2012 (I think it was a politician who called it that)
