Q #8, those are countries, not cities.
Ahhh...the punned store names....fantastic...

Of the official country logos, most of them have those tragic Matisse swipes and blobs that are so generic as to make them boring.

The two consistently recognizable ones are still Jamaica (because they stuck with The Condensed Sans Serif Caps for ages - and it works - just like the lilting Bob Marley theme they still use) and, secondly, Spain's logo - for incorporating the essence of the great Catalan artist Jean Miro.

Also, Tasmania isn't a country - it's a state. For now.

Hey, I'm just a graphic design not a mapematician or somethin'.

And the capital of Armin-ia is Vitsburg....

Note to self: must learn to spell.

It's capitol not capital. And it's Vitville not Vitsburg.
