Mångfald

Based on: Fjällräven.

Motto: "When outdoor meets urban."

Website: www.mangfald.com.

Headquarters: Örnsköldsvik, Västernorrland County, Sweden.

Not on any stock market.

Description: Everything started with a young grumpy Swede in his late teens named Folkbjörn Gutennson who had enough of his badly designed backpack he wanted to take for a hiking trip with his friends. After doing his research, Folkbjörn turned his low quality backpack into a well functioning bag able to take all the food, drink, stones to shut his annyoing friend who loved talking way too much mouth and sleeping pills with a hope young Gutennson will finally get laid. While he remained a virgin until his late 30's, with thanks to all the experience Folkbjörn's got while serving for the Air Force of Sweden, as well as from his teenage days, he understood there's a huge opportunity to use all his sewing- and fashion-related skills and knowledge to start a business. Since then, Mångfald's become a well recognizable brand around European fans of outdoor activites, Scandinavian communities around the World keeping their pride and hipster girls who tend to use aesthetic yet not very practical Binälska backpacks.

First attempts of using Adobe Illustrator and the mood of posting something here came suddenly:

 

 

EyeWatch

Based on: Youtube

Motto: "The easy way to become famous worldwide without any effort"

Website: www.eyewatch.info

Headquarters: Southern San Fierro, San Andreas, USA.

Not on any stock market

Description: Since ElectricTit decided to make a "family friendly" counterpart called "ElectricHit", most of the money from EyeFind coffers was directed to buy the brand and turn it to EyeWatch, like all of their derivates like EyeFind Maps, EyeFind Docs, Hookups (Hangouts), EyeFind Cloud, EyeFind Translator and others. But getting back to the topic, EyeWatch lets all the people upload all their content, even if they have licensed music. You can put an image in your video to clickbait all those idiots who were expecting something useful or funny but that's not. Make livestreams of you playing your favorite RPG, sandbox, battle royale or shooter videogames until you get interrupted by your mom wanting you to make your homework. And let's not forget, before you play an every single video, you'll be forced to watch an advert and wait more than a minute until it's over but then in the middle and at the end of the video, more ads because as people say, nothing is free in life. But, what matters now is with every single prank, fail or humilliation you'll get famous around the world.

 

 

MissMiss

Based on: TikTok

Motto: None

Status: In progress (stable release).

Website: www.dingdong.com

Headquarters: Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Not on any stock market

Description: It used to be called melo.dy before DISCO acquired the brand and renamed it to something called catchy, an onomatopeia that would be effective and attractive for people who has a lot of fun fake-acting in front of the phone, dancing with pop tracks, recreating scenes from movies and large etcetera of stupid things that people would do with this app that has a bad reputation in internet community, even most videos posted there are popular and funny but in fact, they're not worth it. Speaking about community, the company received a lot of complaints from parents (especially conservative families) who blame communist owners for making their children turn gay, liberal, vegan and choose arts/crafts, drama, clothing design careers rather than joining the military or playing football which is really ridiculous. The way it is, MissMiss is gonna be completed soon and people will keep enjoying dancing and fake-acting.

Usurance

Based on: Esurance
Founded: 1999
Defunct: No

Headquarters: San Fierro, San Andreas
Website: www.usurance.com

Motto: "Insuring everything from your car to your home and even your own ass!"
Description: Usurance is a direct-to-consumer insurance firm founded in 1999. Their main business is providing car insurance, which later also extended to boat insurance, motorcycle insurance and even home insurance. Originally serving only northern San Andreas, Usurance now serves the entirety of the state, as well as having fellow offices in the states of Jefferson and Alderney. The one thing that the company is known for is a marketing campaign that featured a series of animated commercials aimed at a young male demographic with Yulia Usurance, an ultra sexy spygirl and insurance agent that served as their main mascot in the mid-2000's and was inspired by several badass female characters from shows that aired around that time. Yulia Usurance starred in over 50 commercials where she fought against robots, monsters and deranged villains, making the commercials exciting and unique from many other insurance ads of the time. Despite Yulia Usurance bringing in a lot of customers to the insurance company, Usurance dropped her as their mascot in the 2010's after it was discovered that only 5% of the people who watched their ads are people who wanted car insurance, while the other 95% of the people who watched the ads are perverts and horny teenagers. Usurance now has safer, more laidback insurance ads for people of all ages that offer various kinds of insurance, while Yulia Usurance, their former mascot, now can be found in lewd fanart and animated p*rn.

Slogan: Come and Go Anywhere Miles in the Air

Type: Airline Conglomerate 

Headquarters: Vice City, Florentia (1919-1932) White City, Illinois (1932-Present)

Description: Originally developed as a conglomeration of smaller airlines in 1919 they first began flights from Vice City to Tahiti and Vice City to Cottonmouth back when it was still a rather small city in the southeast.  Meanwhile, another ambitious airline began acquiring many smaller airlines and in 1924 US Airlines began operating flights throughout the Midwest until bankruptcy in 1926 when they merged with Transcontinental Airlines to become Trans-US airlines.  Eventually they became the first airline to fly coast to coast by 1931 and by 1940 were the largest airline in the nation by a factor of 3 to 1.  They were also the first airline to offer nonstop transatlantic flights in 1946, and the first to offer one stop transpacific flights via Hawaii.  They were also the first domestic airline to use jet airliners in early 1958 and the first to use jumbo jets in 1969.  Eventually with the rise of fair savings and deregulation after 1978 combined with the oil crisis of 1979 they faced increasing financially difficulty in 1983 when FlyUS began offering cheaper alternatives to their air travel taking competition away from them they began reporting losses and began cancelling their smaller routes and by 1993 the unthinkable happened, they became the second largest airline in the United States.
