Good job, all. Now we are drilling down to the less-known unique city landmarks, which I find more interesting. For example, I immediately recognized the pegasus as Mobil oil's corporate logo, but had never realized it was a Dallas landmark.

As an outsider I would say the 10 most recognisable city landmarks are (in no particular order):

Statue of Liberty
The White House (surprise no one has said this!)
Twin Towers
Golden Gate Bridge
Times Square
The Pentagon
Hollywood sign
Empire State Building
Las Vegas Strip
Washington Monument

Unfortunately most of these are from watching films or The Simpsons!
