The 15 Worst Corporate Logo Fails

These are being shared out on Facebook…I have previously shared a few of these but worth sharing again along with the ones not previously shared.

London 2012 Logo

When London unveiled its £400,000 2012 logo design, the masses were unimpressed.

Some claimed that it looked like "some sort of comical sex act between The Simpsons." (Note the figure resembling Lisa Simpson).

Others opined that the logo resembled a swastika.
On the flip-side, Iran threatened to boycott the Olympics since they believed the logo spelled out "Zion."
Pick your poison, but the logo seemed to be a resounding fail.
 
Catholic Church's Archdiocesan Youth Commission

This was the 1973 logo for the Catholic Church's Archdiocesan Youth Commission.
Yeah.
 
 
 
 
 






Arlington Pediatric Center

Oh no, there's more?
Who's approving these logos?
 
   






Sun Rise Sushi

The concept is a sun rising behind a Japanese tea house.
The product is, well, less serene.

A-Style

If this logo seems like a company oversight, then think again.
A-Style very intentionally created this dirty (read: buzz worthy) design.
In fact, the logo even came before the product did. After the logo became a guerrilla marketing success, the company began selling T-shirts.
 
 



Vermont Maple Syrup

I never quite realized just how much the state of Vermont looks like a side profile of someone's legs and hindquarters until I saw the logo for the state's maple syrup offerings.
 
 
 
 









Sherwin Williams

Coca-Cola wanted to teach the world to sing.
Apparently Sherwin Williams wanted to cover the world in blood-red paint.
The sinister "cover the earth" logo was adopted in 1906.
 
 
 
 




Mont-Sat

Direct marketing aimed at those looking to order Skinemax, perhaps?

Kudawara Pharmacy

This is the logo once used by a Japanese pharmacy called Kudawara. It was supposed to be the letter K, but all we can make out is two stick figures.
 
 


Locum

Believe it or not, Locum is a Swedish property management company.
Gotta love the language barrier.

Mama's Baking

Mama's Baking is a cafe in Greece with a major Oedipus complex.
 
 
 
 




Kids Exchange

Proper punctuation should always be encouraged.
 

The Computer Doctors

The Computer Doctors claim to fix your computer.
You have to go somewhere else to fix your leaky genitalia.

Sausages?

This one is self-explanatory.

Junior Jazz Dance Class

This one is more tricky.
Focus on the dancing children to see what makes the logo inappropriate.

  3. Thanks Cat. Yes, our London logo in 2012 didn't go down well. Money not well spent.

  6. LoL, these are too funny. But I wonder whether quality control for all these different logos is done by the same person. Thank you for the good laugh, Cat.

  8. Some of these are funny and makes you wonder why people were paid money for these concepts. The Catholic church one was a little scary.

    1. I so agree with you Sunny...have to wonder if people still had jobs after they submitted these concepts. ;) I agree, the Catholic Church and the Arlington Pediatric Center were both a bit scary and creepy.
