What are your suggestions for the ugliest, most amaturish, or flat out worst product logos - hopefully for a somewhat major product? I nominate, [the Utz girl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utz_Quality_Foods). I recently switched my pretzel loyalty from Snyder’s to Utz. I find it hard to believe someone actually paid money for this cartoon figure. It has apparently been used for nearly 50 years. What is your opinion of the Utz girl, or your suggestions of other poor “mascots”? ---

In 1976, “the marvelous magical Burger King”, played by Dick Gjonola, was fun. The 2003 version, played by an mime in a plastic mask, was creepy. ---
