Here is a pack of rebuses:

The Pack

Eack of the above rebuses represents a famous brand/company. The relation between a rebus and the brand it represent vary from rebus to rebus (some rebuses relate in a way and others in another way, ... and so on). Also, some of the rebuses may require some should-be-known-to-everyone knowledge about the brands, hence the tag.

Your task, whether you like it or not, is to identify those brands/companies (provide some explanation as well).

Progress so far:

Refer to this wiki answer to get links to all the correct answers.
Solved: A (by Beastly Gerbil), B (by puzzledPig), C (by kayzeroshort), D & E (by North), F (by curiousdannii), G & H (by Rand al'Thor), I (by thecoder16) and J (by DeltaScuti_Fomalhautb).
Unsolved: none.

Hint:

As @MOhem already noticed, D and I are not exactly what one call a . I tried covering that by adding an tag.
That being said, I can confirm that F is a rebus, but it's a twisted rebus as it is a double-layered one.

Notes:

  - All of the images used in the rebuses were shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia, and were edited using an un-updated version of Gimp.
  - The rebuses vary in difficulty, so I expect a lot of partial answers. Thus, I decided to accept the answer that solves the last unsolved rebus.

    $\begingroup$ Given that this is the answer, I would be a lot happier with the rebus if you had placed the dot as a multiplication operator (at the midline) instead of as a decimal point (on the baseline). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Hellion In Britain and the Commonwealth (including New Zealand), a midline dot is decimal point and a baseline dot is multiplication operator. $\endgroup$

Is letter E

Oracle? Take the first three letters of orange (ora) then middle letter of chicken (c) and take the LAST two letters of candle, and you get ORACLE

  • $\begingroup$ Fair enough, but I still think it would have been nicer to have only six-letter words here. (And it's a bit too "enigmatic" to be a rebus for my taste. How the letters are extracted can only be guessed and I think in a rebus it should be indicated somehow, perhaps cryptically.) $\endgroup$
