How Well Do You Really Know Your Game Logos?
Most of us can spot a favorite game at a glance. A bit of Minecraft sky, a corner of a Counter Strike map, or Geralt brooding in a muddy field from The Witcher 3 is usually enough for our brains to light up. We spend so many hours with these worlds that their colors, shapes, and style get permanently saved in our mental library.
But what happens when you strip away everything recognizable and leave just a single letter from a game logo?
That is the whole idea behind this playful PC Gamer quiz. Instead of testing your memory with screenshots, bosses, or items, it goes right for something we rarely think about but constantly see. The stylized lettering from game titles that appears on launch screens, box art, and store pages.
The result is a simple concept that turns out to be surprisingly tricky. You are not identifying characters or locations. You are trying to remember which game uses that specific curved A or sharp edged X or neon colored Q.
How the A to Z Logo Letter Quiz Works
The quiz takes you through the entire alphabet from A through Z. For each letter, you see a small cutout taken directly from a real game logo. Your job is to type in the game title you think it belongs to.
The fun twist is that the letter you see is not always the first letter of the game title. So if you see the letter B, you cannot assume the game starts with B. It might be the second letter in a word, part of a subtitle, or even buried in the middle of a longer title. That means you have to actually recognize the style, not just guess based on the alphabet.
Here is how it plays out in practice.
- You get twenty six letters in total one for every letter of the alphabet
- Each letter is snipped from a different game logo
- You type the name of the game you think it is from
- If you get stuck, you can use built in hints to nudge you in the right direction
Some letters will feel instantly obvious. Maybe a specific serif or color scheme screams a certain long running series. Others are far more subtle, especially when the designers have gone with cleaner fonts or more minimalist logos. Those are the ones that will have you staring at the screen, mentally scrolling through your entire Steam library.
Why This Quiz Is Weirdly Addictive
This is not about deep lore or high level play. It is about the small details we all absorb without realizing it. Think about how many times you have seen the logo of your favorite games while browsing a store page or waiting on a loading screen. Over time those shapes become as recognizable as faces.
The quiz taps into that muscle memory.
- Art style suddenly matters in text form. The way certain studios draw their letters is almost as unique as their in game visuals
- Color choices become clues. A specific shade of red or green might narrow your guess to a certain franchise or era
- Even texture matters. Rough stone like letters hint at gritty fantasy, while smooth neon text leans toward sci fi or cyberpunk
Because the letters are cut out so tightly, you are forced to focus on micro details that you normally gloss over. It is a strange feeling when your brain knows a shape but cannot immediately place the title. You know you have seen that G somewhere. You just cannot remember if it was in an RPG menu or on a battle royale splash screen.
That is where the hints come in. The quiz does not punish you for getting stuck. You can nudge yourself forward and keep the experience fun and fast paced. It feels more like a friendly challenge than a serious exam.
Once you finish your run through A to Z, you are encouraged to share how you did. Did you breeze through every letter or did that one sneaky Q destroy your perfect score? Comparing results with friends or in the comments is half the fun, especially when someone instantly recognizes a letter that left you completely blank.
If this kind of trivia hits the right spot for you, PC Gamer has plenty more quizzes in the same spirit. They have covered everything from health bars to bizarre in game currencies to ridiculous patch notes you forgot ever existed. The letter logo quiz fits right into that lineup. It is short, clever, and built for people who genuinely love the little quirks of gaming culture.
So if you are ready to put your visual memory to the test in a fresh way, this alphabet challenge is an easy one to fire up during a break. Just remember one thing as you go in. The letter on screen is not always the first one in the title. And by the time you are done, you might never look at a game logo the same way again.
