As the world celebrates the new year, we’d like to take a moment to look back at 2010.
Many of the worst logos of 2010 have already been covered. Did you see them? Here are our top three posts in 2010 (or at least since we came back online in August):
1. The New Gap Logo is a Box of Fail – This was a media fiasco and our commenters had a field day.
2. Barfy by Design, Volume 1. We did 5 posts worth of businesses with “by design” in their name and crappy logos. This was the first, and fan favorite.
3. The Drake Advantage Logo Gets an F. Drake University in Iowa launched a new marketing campaign with a poor vision and a worse logo. Take a look.
And here’s one for the road, 2010. This is for the International Conference on Interactive Design and Children. What are they doing to that child? I think he’s trapped in the internet.

“Consortium on Breast Cancer Pharmacogenomics” or “A Group of Scientists Secretly Building a Human/Dinosaur Supersoldier Which Will Enslave Humanity”?

Does this logo make anyone else feel nervous?
I imagine the business owner watches a lot of sensationalist news and told the graphic designer, “People don’t understand that they need fire extinguishers. We’re going to make them understand. I want my logo to scare people into buying my product.”

Thanks to Barfer Amy for this submission of this wildlife control company’s logo.
Be sure to stop by their website – they’ve animated the logo for bonus barfiness. Too bad it’s in Flash, not an animated gif. It’s watching you…

Sir, I’m not sure of the ethics behind attempting to get your customers to think that your car wash is actually a pirate themed amusement park ride.
But good luck anyway.

Where ever you are for the holidays, may you be surrounded by good design.
FYI: Dolphins in a Christmas wreath and words in a circle are not good design.
