A real logo and the name. The map below has no labels and no borders. -
Drag the world under the crosshair, onto the town you think it sits in. -
Drop the pin. One shot, then the sheet gives the distance to the headquarters.
The reveal
4,108 km too far east
YouTube sits in San Bruno, on the bay south of San Francisco, not on the east coast. Right country, wrong corner. Source ›
The logo says nothing about the place. The hint does: internet industry, since 2005. That points at the bay south of San Francisco, where Google, Yahoo and Intel sit as well. The east coast is a whole continent too far, and the kilometres say so.

Questions
- Is this a logo quiz?
- No. The logo only names the company; the question is where it sits. You answer with a place on an empty world map, not with a brand name, and the miss is measured in kilometres.
- Where do the logos come from?
- From Wikimedia Commons, each under a public-domain or free licence, and every round links to the company on Wikidata. The logos are trademarks of their owners and are shown only to identify them.
- Does the country count, or the city?
- The kilometres count, from your pin to the headquarters. The word next to them says what that distance means: right city, right country but the wrong corner, a neighbouring country, or the wrong continent entirely.
- How is a round scored?
- In kilometres, from your pin to the headquarters, one shot per round. The day is the sum of your five distances, so lower is better. No points and no ranking.
- Is it free?
- Yes, and you never need an account. Today’s five rounds are always free; past days live in the archive, and your first archive day is free too.
