    Let’s make sure to shame the people being bombarded by advertisements for 90% of their lives. That’ll motivate them to be more cognizant of botany

    is the number 1000 based on anything? i’m curious if there have been any studies on the amount of logos most people recognize. 1000 seems high but also not, so i wonder if there’s science to back it up

      It’s obviously bullshit.

      Could you imagine sitting through a survey with over a thousand logos and plants to be able to reach this conclusion?😆

        I think it would be possible to reach this conclusion. Using shorter surveys, like Google opinion surveys or something, asking people if they recognize 2-3 logos at a time, run a few hundred of those surveys over a few years and you could categorize each logo based on % of participants who recognized, anything over like 66% could be considered “generally recognizable” and then count how many generally recognizable logos you had.

    To be fair, corporate logos are specifically designed to take advantage of quirks in human cognition to make them distinct and memorable. Most plants pre-date human cognition, and the ones which don’t tend to be the ones people recognize instantly.

    Because corporate logos are intentionally designed to evoke the brand they represent?

        Also most of the logos are just the name next to an icon. Plants only occasionally have thier name written next to them.

        And the golf courses and lawns have made it humid! I thought it was supposed to be a “dry heat,” fucking over 100° and 70% humidity every single time I have to visit. Either that of freezing. One time it snowed… IN PHOENIX! Well, technically Mesa, but that’s just a suburb of Phoenix.
