I got the Logo Board Game for christmas as my big sister knows I have an interest in logos. At firt I thought it's be a bit geeky and somethig that only I would enjoy and would have to pretend I didn't. But it's actually a really fun and interesting game for all the family.
I think it should perhaps be called the Brand Board Game as it's more about brands than just logos but 'logo' is a probably a more fun sounding word. The questions are about all sorts of brand related things; some are about identifying brands from their logos and packaging and some are about slogans and origins of brand names. There are cards where you are given a clue such as 'Animals' and are then asked to name a brand of boiled sweet for example: the answer being 'Fox's'. Then there are cards where you have to name the box of chocolates from looking at the shapes of the chocolate- definatley a good game for sweets and chocolate lovers. I found it to be really fun and competitive because you get questions that only certain age groups might know and all the questions are about things you could possibly know. You don't need to be clever or full of knowledge, the answers are all around you. It was also really educational for someone wanting to learn about brands because you learn things abut brands you didn't know before and you can find out some interesting trivia to tell your fellow graphic designers if you want to be really geeky! Do you know what animal is hidden in the toblerone logo? That will give you something to look for next christmas...
