How many pop culture logos would you recognize? Are you more familiar with logos and symbols from TV, movies, comic books, or video games? Signs.com did a survey of over a thousand people to see which of 181 pop culture symbols they recognized. We don't know much more about the survey, although I would guess it was voluntary and internet-based. The results are presented in a series of charts, broken down by genre and age of participants. Unsurprisingly, older people did well with movies and TV symbols, younger people did better with comic books and video games. I am a bit surprised that more participants overall recognized Heisenberg from Breaking Bad than the Star Trek insignia. But the fact that the Transformers symbols did so well should tell you about the overall ages of the participants. See all the charts at Signs.com. -via TVOM
There's a balance to be struck on whether you want to spend your life watching TV or whether you want to miss half of what everyone around you experienced. There are a lot of jokes that only make sense when you know what's being referenced.
