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

srwild.com
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

 
Facebook/MamasBaking
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.

Best Comeback Responses

Number 1
If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman.
He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer 's credibility…

Q: 'Officer…did you see my client fleeing the scene? '

A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away. '
 
Q: 'Officer, who provided this description? '

A: 'The officer who responded to the scene. '

 
Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers? '

A: 'Yes, sir. With my life. '

 
Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties? '

A: 'Yes sir, we do! '

 
Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room? '

A: 'Yes, sir, I do. '

 
Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker? '

A: 'Yes, sir. '

 
Q: 'Now, why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers? '

A: 'You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room. '

 
The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called.  The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year 's 'Best Comeback ' line…and we think he 'll win.

 
Number 2
Now We Know Why He Was a General…

In an recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.

The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God 's function...OUR job is to arrange the meeting."

 



Number 3
Dana Perino (FOX News) describing an interview she recently had with a Navy SEAL. After discussing all the countries that he had been sent to, she asked if they had to learn several languages?

"Oh, no ma 'am, we don 't go there to talk.







 

Number 4
Conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai.

Iranian Air Defense Site: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace.  Identify yourself.'  

Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft.  I am in Iraqi airspace.'  

Air Defense Site: 'You are in Iranian airspace.  If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'  


Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 Fighter.  Send 'em up, I'll wait!'  

Air Defense Site: (... total silence)

Hard to pick which one is best! 

Update from Queenie

Hello, my blogland family and friends. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. I know the last update about me was not very happy, so I wanted all of you who have been so very kind in sending your thoughts and prayers to know that I am still here and I am doing better.

This has been and continues to be a roller coaster ride. Some days, I'm up and feeling fine and I'm absolutely convinced that I am on the mend and I will beat this, no question. Unfortunately, the very next day, I may be down and feeling so sickly and tired I can barely get out of bed and I'm convinced that I will not beat this thing and my death is not so distant.

The other problem is that I can't see the finish line. Unlike other unpleasant things I've been through in my life, this time I can't tell myself to just do this, just endure, for X amount of time and then it will be over and I can get on with my usual life. I get so tired sometimes, physically, spiritually and mentally. Do I have enough endurance? I have a different answer from day to day, even moment to moment. I try very hard to live in the day. I can't think too hard about things or look too far ahead or I get overwhelmed. I keep my head down and live for the day I'm in.

I am trying some different therapies and I'm cautiously optimistic. I am seeing some improvements in some areas, no question. I have more good days than bad days and I'm praying that this a trend that will continue. Maybe, just maybe, I have found the right combination of things that will work for ME. Time will tell.

As always, I want to thank Cat for being so generous as to share her blog with me. She is always sending blessings, I say SHE is the blessing and I'm grateful and honored to call her friend. Again, many thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and kind to me. Your prayers and well wishes carry me through on those bad days when I can't do it on my own. I hope all of you are richly blessed in return.

So, on a less serious note, allow me to try and give YOU a grin or two. You may be having a less than wonderful day, but at least, THIS hasn't happened!!

Love,
Queenie

The Small Brown Bottle

The other day I went over to a nearby CVS Pharmacy. When I got there, I went straight to the back of the store to where the Pharmacists’ Counter is located. I took out my little brown bottle along with a teaspoon and laid them both onto the counter.

 

The pharmacist came over smiled and asked if he could help me.

 

I said, "Yes! Could you please taste this for me?"

 

Being I'm a senior citizen...I guess the Pharmacist just went along with me. He picked up the spoon and put a tiny bit of the liquid on his tongue and swilled it around. Then with a stomach-churning look on his face he spit it out on the floor and began coughing.

 

When he finally was finished, I looked him right in the eye asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?"

 

The pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “HELL NO!!!"

 

So I said, "Oh thank God! That's a real relief! My doctor told me to get a pharmacist to test my urine for sugar!"

 

Well, I can never go back to that CVS, but I really don't care though, because; they aren’t very friendly there anyway!!!
