Hi Eli! Sorry to contact you there.

I have recently featured the French versions the third and the fourth quizzes of your merged logos series, since the two first ones worked quite well. However, Anna noticed that most of the logos of these two quizzes (mostly the fourth one) were too US-centric for the French section. So here is my request! do you think that you could create some more French-centric merged logos to replace the least found and most US-centric in these two quizzes (by giving the priority to the fourth one)?

If you need help to find more French-centric brand logos, feel free to contact me.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Thanks for your quick and positive anser. I can't wait to see that! And if you need some help for the choices of French-centric companies, I can help with pleasure.
