Maybe you need a dirty mind for this but… I see this logo for TAARP in several local businesses, it looks for all the world to me like a squatting person who has just shit out a gold nugget. [http://ttarptobago.org/wp-content/themes/ttarptobagowest/images/logo.jpg](http://ttarptobago.org/wp-content/themes/ttarptobagowest/images/logo.jpg) There is an even worse logo I can’t find an online example of, that looks like a dildo going into a butt lol. I think it is supposed to be a tower with a A frame roof, or a tower with the sun behind it. ---

Yea I noticed that, even stranger I assumed they were a local branch of the AARP you know like: American Association of Retired Persons = AARP Trinidad and Tobago Association of Retired Persons = TTARP But it looks like they aren’t. ---

This is the actual logo on the side of actual trucks in the USA operated by the NBS Trucking Company of Bradford, PA, , presumable meaning “No Bull Shit”.

Also, not exactly a logo, but this pack design is a bit unfortunate: > **[IMG\_639860182940448.jpeg](https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B021FB3140391EBE%211830&authkey=%21AFYIXtbqCYjEug0&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpeg)** > > JPEG Image ---

Most of these come up every time the topic is raised. I was just today in a potential client’s office. About nine months ago, they hired a hotshot downtowny firm instead of me. Then they kicked them to the curb and started interviewing again. Here’s the logo the hotshots came up with. Now, it’s not a bad design in any respect, but… well, without googling (which might or might not work, but some of you have mighty google-fu)… Tell me what industry/business/field this company is in. **[What is this logo for?](http://www.dgath.com/misc/wtf.png)** ---
