You can’t make this stuff up. Even forgiving the giggle-inducing name of Gaylord Chiropractic Clinic for being based on the town’s name, everything else about this is seriously WTF. This might be our most tagged logo yet. You’ve got:
- Accidental Genitals
- Words in a Circle
- Illustration Fail
- Unnecessary Quotes
- Gross
- WTF?
- In the Wild (thanks, anonymous Barfer who submitted this one)
- And, we take it back: Name Fail
Even if the spine didn’t resemble a dong I’d still be physically uncomfortable thinking about those creepy monster hands adjusting my bones. Bones. Hehe.

What do you need? Frying pan? We’ve got that. Toilet? Totally. Wine glass? Magnifying lens? We’ve got those too.
Hockenbergs. Why have one logo when you can have three?

When Gap rolled out their terrible new logo last week, we were so taken aback that we knew our initial reactions just weren’t going to be enough funny to cover it. So, much like Gap, we crowdsourced the solution! So wait, why is Gap’s crowdsourcing bullshit and ours is not? For starters, I’m guessing none of you are professional Comedy Website Comment Writers. If you are, well, we apologize. Professional or not, the hundreds of captions on our Gap post had us in stitches.
More than a little blood was spilled as the Barflords debated over our favorite captions, but in the end, the subtle design cliche double-down hilariousness of one caption stood above the rest:
I think a drop shadow could resolve the issue. – River.Red.
Congrats River.Red. Check your email, a $50 iTunes gift card is on its way to you.
We also picked two runner-ups to win $10 gift cards.
“Remember how Nike paid $40 for their logo?”
“Yep.”
“We got screwed.”

Screwed indeed. Thanks Russ. And last but not least (and my personal fave):
Nobody likes a linear gradient jammed in the P hole like that. - wkunert
Thanks for all the great comments, barfers! Stay tuned, we’re planning more contests in the future. Nothing beats the aggregate funny of thousands of snarky design lovers.

Alternate title: BlogHer? I hardly even know her! (ba-dum-ch!)
While we jest, perhaps a well fed woman made out of punctuation marks is in fact the PERFECT logo for a lady-only ad-network/blogging conference/secret society. The worst part about that comma-beast is that it shows up on sites all across the Interwebs as their ad network gobbles up more and more sites.
Update: Someone pointed us to a Doppleganger on Flickr:

If you haven’t heard, MySpace unveiled a new logo today. At least they were smart enough to drop their rebranding on a Friday afternoon. We’re torn on it – it’s not like their old logo was great, either – but it seems like people around the web are reacting pretty negatively to it, too.
Maybe we can just split the difference?
Which is the worst (best?) rebrand of the week: Gap or MySpace? Sound off in the comments! You can also read more on the rebrand and learn where the “Space” went in this TechCrunch article.

I wish there was a Bratz cremation service I could call.
