The two worst company logos ever

38one.com — (1.) A warm sunset, or grotesque act of sodomy? (2.) A loving embrace or child molestation? This is not the kind of ambiguity you want in your company logo.

  • battleroyalex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10thats pretty funny
  • LiterateWolf, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2I'm sure the Holy Markets will fix it once it is done with NAFTA. Hail, Free Markets!
  • ketsugi, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4Not only is this over a year old, I'm pretty sure I've seen it on Digg before.
  • DarkDays, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10No wonder that clinic is empty
    • CharlesSaint007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Not if the clinic was right next to the playboy mansion...
    • LoungeActx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the donations that make that clinic possible come from Michael Jackson
  • hosvos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I live just a couple miles from the Pediatric Center... I feel like going and asking about there logo.
    • perseon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Are you sure that is not the logo for NAMBLA?
  • djrtitan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Haha that first logo...anyone with a brain can figure out what that looks like.
    • Choppy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Who said the people who designed it have brains?
    • bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1maybe the article description primed me for this, but I honestly couldn't figure out what *else* it could be for a good 20 seconds...
    • kbarrett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've seen that first logo before awhile back. I don't see how the designer would not have known.
      Who's to say it wasn't the designer who ultimately had the last laugh.
    • GooksBirman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1a warm sunset?
  • axox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I actually had to go back and look at the logo a second time to figure out it was meant to be a house/building in front of the sun.

    Perhaps I have been playing with my oozinator too much.
    • Genthree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I'm scared to ask which part of the picture your "oozinator" is....
  • heavensblade23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Who said Sodomy is grotesque? :)
    • Gryffydd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I had a feeling this was going to come up sooner or later...

      I have no problems with sodomy as long as it's not *my* ass on the line, so to speak ;)

      Hypocritcal? Maybe...but I bet I'm not the only one who feels that way...
    • fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not hypocritical, but you are the only one.
  • fireflydigi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's bad enough that these were designed, but what's even worse is that someone had to approve of them.
  • friend18, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Sodomy owns!
  • crc515, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11this is a great one

    and what kind of "A-style" is she talking about?

    • Silverphoenix55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I dont get the first one, second one is funny though.
    • Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4First one looks like someone's junk. Second one, well, let me be the first to say I would do the "A" style or whatever style she wanted ;)
    • Gryffydd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Silverphoenix.
      First one: that piece of equipment looks like a twig and two berries, frank and beans, wedding tackle, you know.
    • rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I DUGG this article just because of your comment, crc515.
    • Poco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That is AWESOME!!! A-Style!
  • CornStarch, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1They're only bad if you have a sick mind. I see (probably because I was getting ready for something nasty) but it's not that bad. Besides that this is just lame on gp.
  • aplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1This is so, so old.
  • ozroy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15This is an Australian ISP. I'll let you decide what you think their logo looks like
    http://www.westnet.com.au/
    • emocean, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That is HILARIOUS!

      ::
    • bogomill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's service that sets us apart. :)
    • koonkii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HAHAHA
      ive been to that site a few times and never realised that!
      good find!
      digg++
    • rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Now breathe... breathe... NOW PUSH! PUUUSSHHH!
    • Gryffydd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The sad thing about that one is that it could only possibly by any stretch of the imagination look bad to the select, initiated few who have viewed goatse.cx. (As in select few out of the general population, not diggers).
    • ozroy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I think the designers who made it put it in as a joke, thinking it to be the one image that really defines the modern internet.
    • sneakerelph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Goatse FTW!
    • omenmedia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hahahaha, you so beat me to it! We should send the Westnet one to the blog author.
  • chriswm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Goatse!
  • professorhojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1try suncorp's logo. http://www.suncorp.com.au/suncorp/index.html looks like a flaccid penis to all us australians.
  • Vironex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Old enough for me to comment, but stil funny enough for a digg.
  • blackbunny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1lol thats gold!!!
  • Jabberpaul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Excellent, but there must be more...
  • spectrum21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think they got that wrong, it should be D-Style...

    ...but then that would throw out the A in the logo I guess...
  • Stecchino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6This isn't exactly a good one either.
    http://www.envirograf.com/
    • crc515, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that looks like it was inspired by georgia o'keefe!!
  • WolfwoodX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Don't like math or reading, cheer up by going to kumon!
    http://www.kumon.com/
    • omenmedia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lol I've thought the same about the Kumon logo, what better way to encourage your child to learn more by presenting them with a company logo that portrays the kid as a complete blank-faced dullard.
    • Couchy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol
  • guruant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Brazilian Institute for Oriental Studies were the winners of the B3ta Phallic Logo Awards: http://www.b3ta.com/features/phalliclogoawards/

    Pontins (http://www.pontins.com/) even ended up changing their logo because they were featured.
    • gangavalli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow so they made atleast to the worst logo competion.
      I really didnt know if there were awards for such designs.
  • Adabard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that is quite possibly the most horribly disgusting yet hilarious thing I have ever seen...kudos for finding it
  • JonHs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Naughty Logos - logos gone wrong:
