Who put Rebel Alliance and House Atreides in there? Terrible lack of focus, turns it from an interesting study into a random list of stuff from fantasy worlds people like to ramble about.

If you think they&#x27;re missing a brand they have a form here to ask them to add new brands:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;forms&#x2F;d&#x2F;e&#x2F;1FAIpQLSdt2aXH-AnZkjTaqJKHRBT6k5w9q8bu4LEgsdCxESSBM2hrbA&#x2F;viewform" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;forms&#x2F;d&#x2F;e&#x2F;1FAIpQLSdt2aXH-AnZkjTaqJKH...</a><p>There&#x27;s also an email address where I suppose you could send correction requests:<p>hello@fictionalbrandsarchive.com

It is going to be a long list.<p>Roleplaying games for instance have entire lists of them, and I am sure there is a video game somewhere that generate them procedurally, making the list effectively endless unless you have some kind of notability criteria. There are hundreds listed in here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tvtropes.org&#x2F;pmwiki&#x2F;pmwiki.php&#x2F;Main&#x2F;MegaCorp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tvtropes.org&#x2F;pmwiki&#x2F;pmwiki.php&#x2F;Main&#x2F;MegaCorp</a> and it is just the megacorps, there are many more that are not &quot;mega&quot;.

I&#x27;ve seen Duff beer in stores. I wonder what other fictional products have made it into real life.

The Wipeout game series has a broad set of racing companies complete with in-universe histories and branding that evolves with each release.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wipeout.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Teams" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wipeout.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Teams</a>

Looks like they don&#x27;t accept fictional brands from books that haven&#x27;t been adapted into some visual form of media. I am disappointed! Would love to see the brands from William Gibson&#x27;s Sprawl Series, like Ono-Sendai and Tessier-Ashpool S.A. There are no known logos for the brands, although others have attempted to imagine them: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Cyberpunk&#x2F;comments&#x2F;2mf54c&#x2F;my_neuromancer_branding_initiative_continues&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Cyberpunk&#x2F;comments&#x2F;2mf54c&#x2F;my_neurom...</a>

The America First Party was most definitely NOT a fictional brand - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;America_First_Party_(1943)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;America_First_Party_(1943)</a>

There are so many can be added not just from movies but tv shows and anime as well. For example, Capsule corp from DBZ is quite famous. Then there is Incite Inc from Westworld and Westworld is not a company but a park created by Delos.

I like the attention to detail and the background information on this site. However, it looks like the form to add a new entry requires signing in with a Google account, which is a shame.

If anyone has screenshots of KrebStar Industries products from the Adventures of Pete and Pete, please feel encouraged to submit it to the database (and post here that you’ve submitted it) or share a link to the screenshots, so I don’t spend the whole day getting lost down that rabbit hole of nostalgia.<p>Here’s a list of KrebStar products: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pnp.norecess.org&#x2F;kreb.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pnp.norecess.org&#x2F;kreb.html</a>

The FONY (ie SONY) logo in Akira is really important to me. It’s a flawless pun, a fake brand, and does it in only 4 characters!

This made me check if there is a similar thing for fictional bands. Not really; but there’s a few articles, like: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;variety.com&#x2F;lists&#x2F;best-fictional-bands-movies-tv-shows&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;variety.com&#x2F;lists&#x2F;best-fictional-bands-movies-tv-sho...</a>

It&#x27;s a good start. One might populate a lot more database from Wikipedia. For example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;w&#x2F;index.php?title=Brawndo&amp;redirect=no" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;w&#x2F;index.php?title=Brawndo&amp;redirect=...</a>

No love for IBN?<p>It&#x27;s the fictional IBM from the Steins;Gate series of visual novels, anime, and games which uses the IBM (IBN in this case) 5100 Portable Computer.
