I just discovered one of the most hideous logos I’ve ever seen: for "GnG Music Instruction."
What have you seen lately (that you wish you hadn’t seen)?
Holy cow that’s bad!
I’ve always been a big fan of the work they do at Logos Galore.
I wouldn’t say that GNG sign is so much bad as it is “looks like it was designed by a 12 year old the first time he used MS Paint”.
As for bad logos, hard to beat the Lisa Simpson blowjob logo for the 2012 olympics.
The Office of Government Commerce logo gives it a run for its money - they spent £14,000 on a redesigned logo that consists of just the three letters O, G and C, squished together. When rotated through 90 degrees, it looks like a man holding his erect penis.
Looks more like a snowman with an erection.
Holy shit! How could they not have seen that?
It’s more like a snowman playing with his carrot. Bonus new sexual innuendo for casual conversation.
You probably won’t find this as bad as I did. A place called the Tiger Lily used to have a logo on the store sign that had a day lily. I always passed the store and thought the idiots don’t even know what they named their store after. They changed it after a number of years.
It’s called Locum. (SFW)
Now, drop that into lowercase, put it in a sans-serif font. So far we have the logo on the site. But that’s the current one, after they realized the problem with using a heart in place of the O
I think the logo with the heart was just for a special Christmas campaign back in 2001 or thereabouts. But, yeah, WTF were they thinking?
Yeah, I had to look that up. It looks like there are day lilies that look like tiger lilies, so I would not have gotten that. It appears the nomenclature has gotten muddled:
When I think “tiger lily,” I just think of an orange lily, but apparently tiger lilies need to have the brown speckles (I think?)
I ran across this through Facebook spam, actually. It’s a small, local professional organization.
Harrisburg Young Professionals
I look at that and I’m just “What is…huh?” I mean, you can parse it pretty easily (there’s a horizontal “H” at the bottom, and a kind of two-headed “Y” and “P” at the top), but it’s just…yuck. Horrible design.
Like the lyrics for Full Frontal Christmas:
Well, hello man, take the coat off that snowman
For Frosty’s being to thaw.
He’ll grin and bear it, look at his carrot.
Sing it: Fa la la la la la la.
No need to rotate this.
They’ve moved and changed logos.
Could be. I saw it on Twitter this past weekend, but that proves nothing as to when (or whether, really) it was actually used.
Looks like a bad stick figure drawing of a piranha plant from Super Mario Bros.
Or a fish skeleton from a Sylvester cartoon.
The Daewoo symbol looks like a jockstrap to me.
Now I can’t unsee that. Thanks.
