Is 15 TUCKERSOFT, from Black Mirror?
They do use that font for the logo but I can't find an example in yellow.

No, it's from a real company logo.

Nice spot, though.

Yes. (I meant Ole, Toro, as I hadn't heard of Al Toro!, but either works.)

I think that leaves just image questions:

15. The yellow circles logo.
31-32. The artist and painting from which the Lap of the Gods cover was copied.
46-47. The nose and mouth in the famous faces mashup.

Sorry, I thought you meant the nose (which is attached to a famous 'tache). (No excuse: you did say "mouth".) Neither the nose nor the mouth is Andrew Hewson's.

OK, some clues.

15. The company sold hardware and software.
31-32. The most copied painting of all time in video game art.
46-47. Here are larger pictures of the remaining parts:

Yes. Your knowledge of Spectrum facial hair fell woefully short.

The most famous beard in Spectrum history and you opted to crop it out at moustache level...

Some final clues...

Image

15. Identify the partial logo (for a company that sold software and hardware).
32-33. What is the name of the original picture that the Lap of the Gods cover is copied from, and who painted the original? (It occurs about fifty times in the stolen art thread.)
47. Who is the person?
