I was in London last night to see in the New year (mental. I never want to be in the same place as that many humans ever again). At one point, we were herded past a row of little shops, cafes and restaurants - one of them was a German style sausage bar called Herman Ze German and… well… it took me a while to work out what the logo was actually supposed to be - which was certainly not the same as what it looked like at both first and second glances.

Just google “worst logos” for a lot of laughs, and you’ll find that Herman ze German isn’t really so bad after all. ---

Sure, I’ve just never stumbled across one quite like that in real life before. ---

It’s futt-bugly, dull and combines too many mismatched elements, but I’ve seen much worse. ---

It also looks distractingly like a pill capsule. Just enough so that you wonder what kind of drugs were involved in its creation. ---

I also came across (huh huh, etc) this logo recently. Going by the corny name and tag line (“Our wurst is ze best”), I’m pretty sure it’s done knowingly. ---

If so, they should have gone the whole hog and had a tag line like “you want it inside you” ---
