The names are unsurprising -- occupying three of the top five brands are Apple in the top slot, Google as No. 2 and Facebook in fifth. Of the top 20 positions, California-based companies snagged nine spots. Other Golden State powerhouses include Intel (7), Virgin America/Atlantic (11), Skype (14), Twitter (15), Ebay (16) and Hewlett Packard (18).

Texas follows with three top-20 brands. Washington, New York and Minnesota clock in third with two companies each.
