Welcome to Mint’sQuestion of Answers—the business quiz with a difference. This quiz is based on our belief of why quizzing is fun—that the answer to every question can be worked out from clues inherent in the question. Mint hopes this quiz will introduce young people to business and economics, and their role in everyday life. Each edition of the quiz will feature questions on three themes—today’s questions are on Logos, Newspapers and Marketing terms for generations and demographic groups.
Logos
1. This logo was designed by a graphic design student in 1971. A faculty member asked the student to help him with some work for his new sportswear company. Of the various choices, the teacher picked one, saying: “I don’t love it, but it’ll grow on me." Which logo?
2. In the MGM logo, the words Ars Gratia Artis are written around a lion. What do these words mean?
3. This image first appeared as a hood ornament in the early 1930s on both cars and trucks, and was not specifically associated with any firm. This ornament symbolized strength and power, particularly for trucks. When Chrysler introduced a truck line in 1981 that shared its name with the animal depicted in this image, it was adopted as the logo of this brand. Which brand is this?
Newspapers
4. The logo/masthead of this newspaper depicts Kamadhenu, the divine cow, representing prosperity, and Airavatham, the divine elephant, representing strength, both bracketing a shield that rests on a lotus. The shield bears an outline map of India with a conch in the centre, with blades of grass sprouting on either side of the crest. Which newspaper?
5. The Bombay____and Journal of Commerce was founded by a British syndicate of 11 firms, a doctor and two barristers.
