Welcome to Volume 2 of Barfy By Design – terrible logos from companies so uninspired they used one of the most clichéd naming conventions out there: “By Design”. No time to waste, let’s get to the barf!
-
-
This really speaks to me. It says, “BORRRRRRING.”
-
-
…by design …we are adding some whimsy to a logo for a company that protects you from MOTHERFUCKING HURRICANES. Totally on message.
-
-
I thought stamp works by picking up ink and putting it back down?
-
-
Want to move from America to Texas? We’ve got you covered. Also we anthropomorphized this compass because…um…
-
-
I can’t pick on Cookies by Design too hard, but I couldn’t leave them out, either. Driving by this place made me think to look up all the terrible By Design logos in the first place.
-
-
Don’t cheap out and get Grandma one of those slowpoke wheelchairs, call Mobility By Design and ask for the green ones that are zooming wildly out of control.
-
-
A fouler barfer than I might say that outline of an ear looks like something else entirely.
-
-
Just ugh.
-
-
Not the worst logo we’ve ever had on here, but still an awful name.
-
-
You need to have a chat with your urban planner. You’ve got a house right in front of a skyscraper next to a river on a golf course or some shit.
-
-
I don’t think these fonts are celebrate-y enough, let’s make them wavy!
-
-
“Whoa brah, you’re looking swole.” “Thanks brah, I’ve been going to Body By Design.” “That…that sounds, uh, totally manly, brah. Yeah.”
-
-
Fun is designated for the 11am and 3pm hours only and is to be had for no more than 15 minutes total.
-
-
RUN FOR IT! It’s a Photoshop filter disaster come to life.
-
-
Will you be traveling by plane, bus, or child’s kite?
-
-
I like how they limited it to only 9 or 10 stylistic choices.
-
-
This doesn’t even make sense. I’m too confused to make a joke.
-
-
Inc? Well shit damn I’m going to take this business seriously now.
-
-
Have I used “just ugh” already? I have? Damn.
-
-
“I’d really like to lead the viewer’s eye in every possible direction.”
-
-
Another entry in the unname name division.
-
-
I think I could have designed that tour myself. “Go straight until you hit the mountain.” Ta-da!
-
-
WTF is a brasilby? Is that like a wallaby?
-
-
This logo has more than 10 words in it and I still don’t know what the hell it’s for.
-
-
Catherine’s elegance was by design. Cheryl’s elegance was bought with money she inherited from that bitch mother of hers.
-
-
A better world for everyone but the colorblind.
-
-
People have literally died of boredom at this place.
-
-
Oh good! Your marketing has IMPACT! No one else ever promises that about their marketing services.
-
-
Is that a dude with a sun behind his head or an abstraction of Sauron’s tower?
-
-
They are so proud of this thing they seriously got a registered trademark for it.
Well, that’s it for now. Join us again in a couple of weeks for Volume 3 of Barfy By Design – oh yes, there’s a lot more where these came from. Found your own hometown By Design logo disasters? Send ‘em our way at logos@yourlogomakesmebarf.com.

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.
