Worst logos ever.

All right, I’ll take the hit: I still don’t get it. What am I supposed to be seeing?

ETA: Google is my friend.

It’s just plain ugly (Not all logos referenced here are about sex!). :stuck_out_tongue:

Wachovia’s latest logo is hideous (especially compared to the blue-blooded classicism of their last one). It kind of makes me glad we’ll soon see the last of it.

Disclaimer: I’m a former Wachovian.

Think “masturbating, round-headed cowboy.” :smiley:

The hell you say!

I generally liked the site referenced in post #4. Many of the logos were suggestive.

But it sure seemed to me that the author considered anything with a 3-pointed motif to be a coded penis+scrotum reference. Sometimes a dented triangle is just a dented triangle.

Both the Wachovia logos look pretty conservative to me.

I’m glad Washington Mutual went under. I couldn’t stand hearing commercials for “Wahmoo”. http://www.overlookingseattle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/wamu1.jpg

These people are no longer in business. At least not in the same location.

Every time I see this logo, I have to stare . . . like at a bad accident.

I’ve always thought the logos for the New York State parkways on Long Island show not only a lack of imagination, but also make it difficult to realize what road is which.

For instance:
Northern State Parkway
Southern State Parkway
Sagtikos State Parkway
Meadowbrook Parkway
Sunken Meadow Parkway
Wantaugh Parkway

The logos aren’t that old – probably date from the 1970s. They’re consistent, but do nothing to individualize the roads when you’re traveling at high speed trying to find one.

Storage Deluxe … or Dick in a box? You decide!

I saw the signs before they were really well-known (at least to me). I thought it was an electronics store. RF Max.

Yeah, I, too, thought it might be RF Max, as a matter of fact, I thought their logo was really for a company called RF Max but that the logo was bad because it make it so their company looked like it was called RE Max!

Seriously? That’s what the hubbub was about? I don’t see how anyone saw that without being told ahead of time what it was supposed to be. Even being told, it took me forever to see it that way, as it’s really hard to make that thing seem like a stick figure, when it has no stick connecting the body.

Fat, masturbating, round-headed cowboy.
Please, nobody say “band name”.

This kind of comment comes up in every thread like this. The fact that you don’t perceive it easily doesn’t invalidate the fact that a substantial portion of the population sees it quickly, clearly, and obviously.

What’s a client going to say? “Well, BigT doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem, so we’ll go with it, even though BigU, BigV, and BigW are laughing their asses off and going ‘YEE-HAW!!!’”

I don’t get it either. Will someone explain?

I saw it in about 0.5 seconds.

That one’s just supposed to be ugly. Not sure I agree, although I don’t like the way the typeface used for the company name goes with the logo.

One of those E’s with an upwards thrusting arrow coming out of the bottom of it which used to be so prevalent some years ago.

There is a Dodge car dealer near me, in the town of Burnsville.

Their logo

I can’t imagine driving around a car for 10 years with that on the bumper.
