It would be helpful to have a little explanatory legend tucked away somewhere for those of us from foreign parts who haven't got a clue what 'Big Box' or 'Big Red Checkmark' are...
Thanks

"Big Box" is a generic term for a really large store -- often, those that sell electronics or the like. They tend to dominate the scenery, and are quite often separate buildings from whatever mall they may be a part of. They're...well...big boxes surrounded by parking spaces that sell items which, themselves, may come in big cardboard boxes. One such store uses a yellow price tag as its logo. Does that help?
As for the other one -- that's an intentional obfuscation of a specific company's name, so we need to keep it obfuscated, if you follow my meaning You'll need to research that one via an image search, I'm afraid.
If you have any other questions about the terminology, please ask! ^_^

Alternately, a private message to the member who used the term might be helpful. Something like this:
Hi, I noticed that you used the phrase "Big Green Cab Co". Could you explain that to me please? I don't get it.
