Here begins a series of posts so nauseating, so barf-inducing, so unbelievably vile that, for your health and ours, we are afraid to even post it. But post we must. Please enjoy the first of at least five (yes, five) volumes of Barfy By Design – terrible logos from companies using one of the most empty and meaningless name cliches out there: “by Design.”
- Serious enough to form an LLC, not serious enough to use a unique name.
- Can you spy the basketball in this logo? How ’bout the bowling ball?
- If you stop imagining those people on the thought bubble, they will die.
- Trust your custom designs to the business with the extremely generic logo!
- Smiles by Design. Why SHOULD a smile come naturally, anyway?
- AVERT YOUR EYES
- “Graphic design with a message.” That’s not a joke, that’s their tagline. Ugh.
- I think that usually happens by chance.
- Well, they botched the logo, but I’m sure they can handle a $30,000 home remodeling budget.
- OH MAN! IT HAS TWO MEANINGS! CRAZY!
- Our slogan does not apply to us.
- AHHHHHHHHHH.
- Dark dork? Dork Dark. Fear Lord Dork Dark, whose heart is full of blackness.
- Logo style: Barrel of Monkeys.
- Our liability is limited, but our tolerance of rainbows is limitless!
- I’m going to be honest, we saved this one a while ago and I have no idea what’s going on here.
- Whomever you’re quoting is very succinct.
- Okay, this is a report or something, I think, not a company, but still….yeesh. Legibility fail.
- Very reserved choices.
- Zoooooooom! Quick, add another text style!
- Be Stylish. Be You. BeAAAAARRRRRFFFFFFFF.
- Fly fishing logo. Yup, totally seeing that.
- My soup tastes like confetti.
- Dis shit is motherfucking ELEGANT, b. Word.
- Indeed it does.
- And one normally creates architecture by…accident?
- I Believe that your logo is making me barf right now, that’s what I believe.
- All of my weird little companies wrapped up into one barftacular logo!
- Hey, teach? I’m confused. Is the Staging by Design, or is the Staging Training by Design, or are we learning Staging Training by Design by Design?
- 9 out of 10 doctors recommend a better logo.
