The brand consultancy Interbrand famously publishes an annual list of the top 100 global brands. Interbrand touts its own proprietary formula to derive a dollar value for each brand.

Apple, and the iconic logo of the apple silhouette with the bite mark, has occupied the #1 spot for several years, with a current valuation of $503 million. Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Samsung round out the top 5. And so on.
More on those brands, later.
