Let's face it. James Bond is awesome. And so is a 7 that looks like a super stylistic pistol that also fits because he's a spy. Managing to fit an icon into a monochromatic design is impressive.
It's pretty amazing how they took such a simple everyday shape that everyone recognizes, and turned it into a symbol for so many things. The star has been the symbol of the US Military for decades, but this iteration is certainly the most reverent and awe-inspiring in its design and color scheme.
The US Airways logo looks clean, gets to the point, and shows up really well on the blue tail of a US Airways plane. Honestly, what more could you ask for? You can just point and a plane and say "US Airways. See? It has a flag on it and everything."
I like the UN logo because it really depicts the message. The United Nations is a unity of nations. That's what's depicted. Not only that, but the olive branches symbolizing peace actually state the purpose of the organization. This logo by itself is a pictographic name and tagline by itself.
Don't even pretend that you don't hear the theme music along with the sound of Bugs Bunny munching on a carrot. The repeated introduction of this logo and its longevity are what make it successful - though in a pleasant way, unlike Coca Cola's intrusive ads and product placements everywhere that don't work. I still don't like Coke. But I sure do like cartoons.
The symbol that strikes fear into the hearts of criminals is also the most-loved and most-recognized symbol in the entire world. Because he's BATMAN.
The red cross is the best logo of all time. I'm not exaggerating; this thing has been around for a LONG time, and it's not going to go away. Ever. It doesn't just convey a message - it communicates all on its own. You see this on a bag, it's a triage bag. You see this on a helmet, it's a medic. You see this on a building, it's a hospital. This thing is everywhere, and it symbolizes so much more than the foundation that adopted it. This is the ultimate symbol.
The Arby's menu uses color coding to draw the eye to categories as well as make the menu visually appealing. They also include a picture of every sandwich, which is very helpful for people who don't know what they want before arriving. The pricing can be slightly steep depending on what you get, but they put enough meat on the sandwich to make it worthwhile. 
The cracker barrel menu is the best menu I've seen at a dine-in restaurant. It holds to the theme without sacrificing its usefulness. The color scheme is very simple, but again, color coding subtly finds its use. You can see that some items are shaded in white, and some are in reddish brown, and still others are outlined in red. All items have full and descriptions that not only make it easier to pick what you want to eat, but pick the combination choice that suits you and your wallet. The pricing is heavy, but that's to be expected from a sit-down restaurant. The food is good too.
Cookout's menu is... Honestly comical. It's really packed. Color coding does help, but without the combo menu (not shown here), you're basically completely lost. This menu is very large, but seems more utilitarian than intuitive. It's more there to tell you what they have than what you should order. The combo menu is relieving to this problem, but is usually offcentered from this much more confusing menu. The pricing is awesome for the quality and quantity of food.
