THE TOP TEN WORST DESIGNED LOGO'S



After designing some logo's of my own I decided it was best to take a look at some logo inspiration when i came across these badly designed and offensive ones that I thought you all might somehow enjoy, and yes these are real Logo's.



1. Institute of Oriental Studies at the Catholic University of Portugal


If you can't already see what this logo is... it's in fact supposed to be a Japanese house in front of a rising sun however, it actually looks like someones rear end. Someone needs to do some explaining when they came up with this one.


2. Kids Exchange



It's blatantly obvious what's gone wrong with this design, if someone had actually used their brain and separated the " S " from the " E " then everything would have been ok.


3. MEGAFLICKS



To be fair, they just needed to use a different font in this scenario.




4. The Computer Doctors




A classic example of why you shouldn't have a " mouse " on your logo. Even the slogan makes its so much worse.


5. Kudawara Pharmacy

 

Oh come on, this is ridiculous. There is no plausible non-sexual explanation for what the people in this logo are doing. Dear oh Dear.


6. A-Style



It certainly is a style alright.


7.  Can you guess what the logo below is? Is it A. a sexual abuse by priests support group logo, B. a logo for a crazy brand of umbrellas, or C. The Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission. If you picked C, you’d be right.

Cathoiic Priest Boy Logo

Yes this is in fact a logo for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission, it dates from 1973, and won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles in 1974.


8.  Office of Government Commerce

 

was intended to signify a bold commitment to the body’s aim of “improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement”. Instead it just appears to be a man possibly enjoying himself. The logo cost £14,000 to create, obviously no one thought to turn it on it's side...

The OGC logo rotated 90 degrees

9. Locum



My jaw pretty much dropped at this one, obviously the creators had no innocent intentions whatsoever. But I suppose it is Sweden, they tend to be pretty open when it comes to this stuff.

10. Mont Sat



Now you know why Mr Satellite looks so happy.
