To be fair, corporate logos are specifically designed to take advantage of quirks in human cognition to make them distinct and memorable. Most plants pre-date human cognition, and the ones which don't tend to be the ones people recognize instantly.

while reading your comment I had a weird vision of flowering plants in a far off post-human apocalypse that looked like logos of companies.
