I also passed a sculptors van that had a picture of the head of Apollo on it with the words "The face of modern plaster".

Thing is, I only started noticing them more since I've joined the guild.
'Hermes Travel Centre' is my new submission for today.
EDIT: I was listening to the radio when a song called 'babe' by a band called 'Styx' started to play.

Yep.

I wonder why I never thought of that. Amazon is practically my dad's store. He shops there more than anywhere else.

Around here there's an Apollo Spas, and I've seen an Apollo tire company (explain that one. At least the spas make sense, since in his temple at Delphi I believe there were spas. God of medicine and all that.)

Also, the medical sign that looks like a staff? If I recall that's based on Hermes' staff.

Oh yes. Apollo college... Apparently they like the Sun god around here a lot.

Here are somethings I can think of:
Atlas a book of maps
Pandora a music website (My second favorite site after Gaia)
Venus razors
Ajax a cleanser
Mars bars
Midas car service station
Odyssey record company
Saturn cars
Trident gum
Orion a motion picture production company
Olympus cameras

Companies with greek/roman logos
Versace- the logo for Versace is actually a representation of Medusa
Starbuck's- the logo of Starbuck's is a Siren
