About this puzzle
Founding years reward company history over brand vibe, and brand vibe is almost always misleading. Several of the names here are far older than the products they are famous for - a phone company that predates the telephone's mass adoption, a game company that predates the video game by most of a century. The instinct to rank by how modern a logo looks is the fastest way to get this one wrong.
