Reasons Not to Use a Fetus in Your Logo

by Earl of Hurl on September 24, 2010

  • I hope to god my baby is shaped like a baby, not like a fetus.
  • A fetus screams “graphic anti-abortion ad” not “friendly midwives!”

And the number one reason not to use a baby in your logo for medical services:

  • Because without context this baby looks like it’s being dropped on its head.

CHOMP

@YLMMB follower @rdberry1 sent this to us this morning. Thanks, buddy.

Comic Sans is TOTALLY Professional

by Sovereign of Spew on September 24, 2010

This gem comes to us Via Barfer Alan. Thanks for fighting the good fight, Alan!

Terra Southern Professional Plaza

Plaza Director: “We need a sign. Something that says “Terra Southern is a PROFESSIONAL plaza.”

Graphic Designer (AKA Director’s wife, who used Photoshop once): “Hmm. That is quite a challenge. Maybe some strong typography.”

Plaza Director: “YES! Typography! Just be sure to use a good font.”

Graphic Designer: “Oh… I’ve got JUST the thing.”

WTF: Take 2

by Earl of Hurl on September 22, 2010

Thanks to Barfer Ian for spotting this redux of the WTF logo:

Wocester Tools and Fixings Logo

Worcester Tools and Fixings hit their 25th anniversary and kept on chugging with the same acronym.

They Did Not Fix it in Post

by Viceroy of Vomit on September 20, 2010

These guys advertise post-production services including compression and restoration. A large component of their business is MAKING THINGS LOOK GOOD.

Eyeframe Logo

BARF. Nothing is good about this logo but the terribly tacky shadow takes the cake.

Oh by the way the business’ name is Eyeframe. No, it is not included in the logo, though they do render it with italicized Times on their equally awesome website.

We promise not to do this again!

When Cudd Well Control went to design a logo, they thought it best to really, really, really emphasize the worst case scenario.

Thanks, Bob, for the submission!

Do a 5K… and Barf.

by Sovereign of Spew on September 15, 2010

We’ve noticed yet another barfy logo trend. Ah, the charity/company/otherwise organized 5K. Pay a little cash, get a little exercise, maybe even score a free t-shirt! Well, if you hit up any of these barfy 5K’s, pass on the tee. You don’t want to be seen in public like that.

Crutches Not Included

Crutches: You’re doing it wrong.

I can't see.

This is an especially difficult 5K, a run BY spaghetti FOR spaghetti. Due to the required meatball headwear, it’s generally difficult to see… albeit DELICIOUS. Good luck.

Scary

Man, it’s one of those days that I’ve eaten so much sugar that I start to see mind-numbingly-scary anthropomorphic hands running around again. I better get some exercise.

Run for Butts

Are YOU a horse butt? Have we got the opportunity for you!

SHAMRock, that is.

I’ve never actually seen a shamrock with knees before. Someone tell him he’s about to run smack into those festive words in a circle.

Race by Spirits

We run as one…. scary, blobbish, misformed chalk outline.

Microwave Space Death Ray – With Bevels!

by Viceroy of Vomit on September 13, 2010

This one comes to us via Matt on our Facebook Page. Matt writes:

Throw some weather images in there… good, now sprinkle in some hard to read fonts… now flush the toilet and watch them spin… Perfect!!

AMSR-E Logo

Now, we’re just design lovers, so we have no idea what an Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer does, but judging by this logo, it appears to cause tidal waves, polar ice cap meltage, blizzards, and tree-sized hail. Powerful.
