Hello Friday.
April 19 2024
Say that 3x fast.
If you’ve been around the Cola block a few times, you may recognize a few local logos like The University of South Carolina Gamecocks with the big, blocked-letter C and the fighting gamecock in the center.
Or when someone says, “Hotel Trundle” does a magical, purple linework unicorn pop in your head?
You may know Cola pretty well, but do you think you could recognize other local business logos? Put your local logo knowledge to the test and see if you can identify them all.
No cheating. After you take the quiz, see a little peek into the businesses to learn a little more about your local city happenings.
