- MinnieLass, on 10/10/2007, -7/+717It seems a lot better than our very expensive UK Olympic logo is all I can say!
- Falldog, on 10/10/2007, -14/+304I read the title as "The Worst Lego EVER" and was sorely disappointed.
- avions, on 10/10/2007, -4/+241I've seen worse.
- wiifm69, on 10/10/2007, -5/+177If they had 1000 6 year olds, producing 1000 logos a day, I'm sure one would be a work of art
- Foenetik, on 10/10/2007, -3/+174pretty sure most of these are much worse
http://www.b3ta.com/features/phalliclogoawards/ - skyfox2k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+136No way the worst.
Check out THIS logo: http://www.daniel-schaller.net/photolog/images/misc/APCLogo.jpg - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+139It's gonna get a few people on the website though..
- gllopc, on 10/10/2007, -6/+137I don't think it's THAT bad.
- bakeyman, on 10/10/2007, -5/+98We actually use Checkpoint's firewall, and it's a great product. Support's really expensive on it though.
- gllopc, on 10/10/2007, -2/+88You're right. The logo grabbed the attention of a digger, and now we're all going to the site. It's that whole, there's no such thing as bad advertising... thing.
- veggiemoore, on 10/10/2007, -11/+91This one?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BBC_Goatse.cx_Alternative_Olympic_logo.png - fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -10/+76At least it's not just "a font" like 99.999999999% of website logos.
- joeleslie, on 10/10/2007, -7/+65Don't mean to burst your bubble, but what exactly were you expecting from a 6-year-old girl?
- Lasereth, on 10/10/2007, -4/+54Let's see. So basically, the site has a horrible logo designed by a 6-year old. Employees of the company probably thought, "hey, let's have a really weird/crappy logo to draw attention to our website and possibly generate more sales." And now, surely enough, this made it to the main page of Digg with thousands of people going to the website. Sounds like the submitter is one of the people the company was targeting with the logo. It worked perfectly.
- netdroid9, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47Oh thank god, I thought that was going to be much worse... I've really got to stop opening links compulsively.
- Aleks, on 10/10/2007, -4/+46LOL - Doesn't compare to the Olympics 2012 logo.
http://itn.co.uk/news/storydb4a8d0e9c92fa954c562b7c4ac51d89.jpg - Sanitarium, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37CP_ltd_vertical_Pos.jpg
Heh, it says POS in the filename.. - Hayaemsay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33You know there is a brand new feature called reply!
- mseneschal, on 10/10/2007, -2/+34That doesn't change the fact it's a horrible logo.
- Unlegend, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30What a jerk, blaming that monstrosity on his daughter. You know he created that himself.
- Darcy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32Nothings worse than the 2012 olympic logo.
- veggiemoore, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Oh yeah, I should have put up a disclaimer. It's not actually Goatse.
- Jones82, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25It was the BLURST of times!?
- empirikal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Just an FYI, but the term logo is derived from "logotype" which is actually just "a font". Some of the worlds greatest and most renown logos are just a font as well. Microsoft, Crate & Barrel, American Apparel, and Panasonic (and these are just examples using Helvetica).
- betterth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Definitely. Some color changes and smoothing up of this picture and I could see it being quite a new age looking logo sadly.
- Eoborges, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18i think it already did
- radicldreamer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Why is this even considered news? It has been the checkpoint logo for as long as i can remember. It has nothing to do with the quality of their products, and when its small and on devices you really cant tell it was drawn by a kid
- strictnein, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21Man, I thought this was a joke of some sort, but it's actually featured on every page on their website:
http://www.checkpoint.com/ - drjones78, on 10/10/2007, -7/+23I did some contract work for a company who was having problems with their checkpoint firewall "solution" about 5 years ago.
They paid around $50,000 for this rackmount Checkpoint firewall box... after getting into the guts of it, diagnosing some things, we found it was little more than a cheap motherboard, with an intel celeron proc (about a 300$ cpu at the time). It had a nic, and a serial port console.
50k for a $400-500 machine (tops) running some bastardized obscure trimmed down unix variant. One of the biggest rip-offs in the history of this planet. Would have been better off using BSD ipfw or iptables on linux. - joeleslie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Thus, said logo is opposite of article title.
That said, it does look REALLY out of place on their homepage: http://www.checkpoint.com/ - xtremeakash, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14nope that was true
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6724245.stm - Lugano, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Didn't the advertisments on the TV cause people to have seizures? Or was that just a rumor?
- jankind, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Oh man, yeah that is bad.
- jcostom, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15You mean like over 90 of the Fortune 100? Yes, CP's logo stinks, but at the end of the day, do you care if they're great artists, or have good firewall software? After all, you're not outsourcing artwork to them, you're buying data security products.
- darkphan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11We all know that the design of a logo has an impact on the functionality of an application.
- Keitosha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Arlington Pedophile Center....... -_-o
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Will YOU blend?
- insomniak29, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=internettubesan0.gif
- Philluminati, on 10/10/2007, -8/+19I actually write a rival product to Checkpoint NG Firewall-1 XNUABDIBA. It's only for internal use (we manage alot of firewalls) but trust me, our logo is better. I think we did it in Paint.
- rzurad, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11@wiifm69
You trying to open a logo photoshop sweatshop?
That's something you can pitch to adobe: Adobe SweatShop CS3 - Kragnerac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9At least she didn't use Comic Sans.
- profOblivion, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!!
- wattznext, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11I don't know why you're being dugg down, i don't even understand what you said !
- Hayaemsay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Niether do I, but I mistook it for abstract art....
- ipxodi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9a fat woman's ass in a thong poopin out something red....?
- nhprm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11he meant year you ***** tard
- that1jewishguy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11that looks like the six your olds retarded sister made it
- designpunk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Typographic logos are some of the most effective brands in the world - look at Google for christs sake.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12When considering security the last thing I think about is the logo
- guymal, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11The logo was actually created by the CEO more than 10 years ago, not by his daughter (he doesn't even have a daughter). I agree the logo sucks but Check Point's products are great.
