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.”

September is Healthy Aging Awareness Month, and we think that taking care of oneself as you age is important. Unfortunately, the Center for Positive Aging seems to promote zombies digging out of their graves.
Is “healthy aging” a euphemism for “being undead” that the pro-zombie lobby doesn’t want you to know about?

- 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!”

- Designer A: How do we best represent the concept of something being waterproof?
- Designer B: Hmm…well, we definitely want to get some water in there.
- Designer C: Yeah! Also the letter W, which totally makes people think waterproof, and not water.
- Designer A: Great! We’ll have a giant drop of water leaking through a letter that stands for water on top of the name of our business, precipitously perched in a way that threatens imminent leakage.
- Designer B: It should also be blue, because water is blue.
- Designer A: Done! Let’s go get drunk.
