FedEx, Nike, Ecko and more, all poured through a gamey filter

I literally sat at my desk for hours trying to come up with some kind of witty or insightful introduction to this article. I tried to play up our shared history as gamers, that we play so many of these damn things it’s easy to picture game names in place of everyday brands. Hell I even tried the “gee games are everywhere these days!” intro. None of it sat well.

So eff it. Here’s a bunch of corporate logos infested with gamey nonsense. Because it’s fun.

Games take over corporate logos: reader edition
Ten more logo mashups, this time spawned from one punny reader

Political terms re-defined by videogames
Use the Radical Republican’s Filibuster to beat the Deficit Hawk

Not Final Fantasy
Stop coddling Square-Enix for five seconds and try these RPGs instead

Not even abdominally-inclined fantasy character art could make me buy Axe, sadly.

Yeah, could have been a few more. Good stuff though.
Still, no "Need for Speedo"?
Q-Tips can be Q-Bert with a Q-Tip shoved in his Birdo like mouth.
University of Phoenix can be changed to University of Fenix, Gears of War-style.
Star Tropicana. Jet Motorola or Motorola Storm. CJ Johnson & Johnson. Silent Scope, mouthwash and arcade guns, not sure how to photoshop that. Neo-Spore-in. Star-Kraft? War-Kraft? Probably been done before, I suppose.
I don't know anything about the upcoming Battlestar Galatica game, but it seems like Starbucks is just too easy. How about Rubik's Companion Cube?
I know its been done before, but I still get a little annoyed when I see Spiderman 3 font on the Playstation 3, so I think that's a good closer.

"Mini-article," yes that's about right. I'm more interested in what everyone else comes up with, inspired by the ones I put up.

Need for Speedo and Rubik's Companion Cube are great.

Thanks. :) I had fun wasting most of my morning trying to come up with a few more. Perusing Gamesradar beats working any day.
LOL, I was just making a shopping list, and that made me remember that Target turns into Target: Terror fairly easily.
Also, Marlboro turns into Malboro from the FF games.
Turning my brain into a pun-factory today made me wonder, why didn't they ever make Bubble Bobble-heads?
