10 Crappy Corporate Logos

10 Crappy Corporate Logos

Posted on 26. Dec, 2009 by Daniel in Design Trends

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That’s the game when it comes to devising a logo. For the most part, corporate logos look pretty good these days – I actually had to spend a good amount time looking for the right logos to put here. But as always, there are a few bad apples. Enjoy!




Geffen Records

Oh I see, the globe is supposed to show off a three dimensional “G”. Unfortunately, it just makes me think that Geffen wants to dominate a world that has been attacked by various shades of the color grey.




Cox Communications

It’s like someone with talons decided to attack this logo. If I had talons and this logo was walking on the street towards me, I would attack it too.




Rank Group

Not sure what Rank Group does, but I bet they don’t spend a lot of time hitting a large gong on what appears to be a really hot day.




Roche

This is just begging not to be noticed by anyone. Maybe that’s the purpose.




Altria

altria_logo

Yeah, it’s a tobacco company. But the reason it’s included is because that cube of colors is a straight rip-off of Gerhard Richter. I hope he’s getting royalties.




Bechtel

This logo looks like something out of a cheese-tastic action movie. And what part of the world is that?!?!




Capital One

capital_one_logo

No matter what happens, just remember… Capital One has boomerang loans.




Georgia-Pacific

Do they grow trees? I don’t think I want to really know what goes on at that company, because this logo is as docile as they come.




LG

So, let’s combine the two letters of our company into a FACE! What a great logo idea!

Oh, and the face can only have one eye. Company policy.




Enron

Enough said.



A lot of us go through our day without actually paying attention to things like corporate logos, but we are exposed to them all of the time no matter where we go. Hopefully next time you see one of these logos you will think differently about what they mean and the company or organization that they represent.

What do you think?

    With regard to the Rank Organisation, are you unacquainted with THIS cultural icon?

    I really don’t think the LG logo should be with these other embarrassments.
    It’s quite a clever logo and instantly recognizable – I would warrant that many people haven’t actually made the connection between the letters and the creation of the face.

    But I suppose anything will look good next to that damn Roche logo

    This is just a matter of opinion and respect is needed :) Anyway, I find it amusing though to give healthy comments to uphold perfection in its truest sense of the word.

    Yeah, LG shouldn’t be here imho.
    Maybe they meant the other eye is closed.. whatever.
    I think LG should be spared.
