Small Business Logo Failures

“Hey assholes, why don’t you pick on someone your own size, huh? These small businesses are the backbone of America and making fun of them makes you a TERRORIST!” – Summary of everyone that’s ever yelled at us for criticizing small business logos.

Yeah, well, we wish the backbone of America would straighten up and get some decent marketing. It’s an integral part of running a good business, and these logos really aren’t helping anybody.

Sacrificial Design

by Earl of Hurl on January 25, 2011

Faithful readers will know that we don’t just pick on bad logos – there’s a special place in our hearts for badly named businesses. We’ve explored “by design“, and now, by request, we’re moving on to “solutions”.

Adiant Solutions has the honor of kicking off this category. Their mascot seems to be trying to dive between us, sacrificing himself as a human shield against bad design and lazy business naming.

Does This Look Rude to You?

by Sovereign of Spew on January 21, 2011

With Hidden Finger

Because to me, this logo clearly says “Fuck You.” And goes on to something about the horse I rode in on.

How rude.

I’ve Got Somethin’ Real Important To Give You

by Sovereign of Spew on January 20, 2011

Storage Deluxe Instructions:

Step One: Cut a hole in a box.
Step Two: Put your junk in the box.

It's my dick in a box!

Step Three: Put your box in storage. UNLESS maybe you have another idea of what to do with your box. I’m not really sure what though. Think on it.

We Breed… Gorillas?

by Sovereign of Spew on January 20, 2011

We Breed... something.

Yantis is actually a swine breeding farm, but you wouldn’t know it by their logo. Based on the illustration, I would guess that they breed gorillas, godzillas, and perhaps the occasional ManBearPig. Serials.

An Economical Use of the Letter O

by Earl of Hurl on January 19, 2011

In case you’re wondering if you’re dealing with a Lord or a Lurd, here’s a helpful tipsheet:

  • A lord has power or authority over others. A lurd has power or authority over their couch and bowl of cheese doodles.
  • Lord can mean “Almighty” or “God”. Lurd can mean “Steve” or “Waiter”.
  • Lords are sometimes called to serve their Queen. Lurds are sometimes called about that overdue Blockbuster rental.

We’re still not sure if we’re dealing with Lords or Lurds here.

Do a Little Dance
