Top 10 Worst Logos

Listverse Staff . . . Comments

[WARNING: dirty words herein] We are in the middle of our own logo competition, so I thought it apt to demonstrate a few that went seriously wrong. Whatever was in the mind of the designers at the time is anyone’s guess. Top 10 worst logos – and I really mean worst.

10. Bottom Logo

13152914 6C7Ef66B67

In case you can’t tell – it is a Japanese house in front of the rising sun. What else could it be?

9. *Special* Surgery

Hsscolorlogo

Guess where I am not going for surgery?


8. High Fashion

Image003

Guess where I am going for clothes.

7. Fine Food

A74 Sausage

Sausage anyone?


6. Olympics

A74 London

Even though people have pointed out the obvious problem here, they still insist on using this.

5. Pediatrics

Image004

A picture paints a thousand words.


4. Children’s Clinic

79 Logos

Don’t worry – be happy. Or not.

3. Pharmacy

Image006-1

Enemas ‘r’ us.


2. Speechless

Image002-1

1. Open Wide

Image005

Bonus: We fix your computers

Image008

And your leaky penis.

  • dan231

    Bawahaha…..leaky penis….

    6 – it is an abstract person kneeling giving a blow job. In other words: the world should bow down and give London a bj!

    • Katelyn

      Whats #1? I don't see whats bad about that…

      • think about the shape of the ‘U’ on Computer. and the cord on the end of the ‘mouse’ :) bahahaha

    • dsafaf

      #6 is the only one I didn’t get the instant and even if you said what it is, I just don’t see it. I only see a bad made logo…=/

  • NOOOOOOOOO! The London 2012 one needs to be at no. 1. What a traversty. They spent so much money on that as well. Peice of shit!

  • Arabella

    Can someone please explain to me what exactly is wrong with number 6? I just don’t get it lol.

    • redman.blue

      isn't it lisa simpson giving head?

      • no

        it isn’t

  • mix2323

    lol # 2 and 8

  • JOE ROSSON

    Arabella,I agree with you,I don’t see the problem.

  • 6 – it is an abstract person kneeling giving a blow job.

  • evan

    im not seeing the hidden thing for siz either, besides it being just a crappy logo.

  • evan

    ahhhhh

  • Emily

    an abstract person kneeling giving a blow job? I really have to strain to see that one. and even then i can only see the person kneeling. oh well. It is an ugly logo though. I’ve seen #2 on ebaums world and on snopes (i think) anyway they say it is photoshopped, because the shadows of the letters don’t match up. fuuny, though.

    • Phil

      I've actually seen that one in real life, so, yeah, it's real

      • JC

        No you didn’t, you’re a liar

  • Emily

    you can tell w/ the shadow of the ‘s’

  • tehe
    oh srry w00t!

  • Emily: you just dont have a dirty enough mind :)

  • CrimsonChrissi

    LOL-#10 should be on a new list of pictures you can see two things at the same time. Like the old and young lady.

  • kittym

    #8 opens up a whole new can of cheesy pick-up lines. Loved the list!

  • Guys and gurlz…

    The london olympics logo is known for being the number 2012 expressed in a cubic way and the animated version is known for having caused epileptic seizures. “London” is written with a small “l” being “london”. the fellatio problem has been widely commented over the internet and finally, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics#Logo Or just google the words “london olympics logo controversy” to get a good look at what it’s all about.

  • dan231

    I see the 2012 now, thanks for pointing that out; but it’s still ugly.

  • Mom424

    now i get the london logo, but which one is the blower and which one is the blowee?

  • Great list. One of my favorites of late, in fact. Not sure what that says about me, but anyway! Thanks for the laughs!

  • Gravy

    That is hilarious! This is THE best list by far!

  • Mav

    I love these.
    #6 is stretching it a bit.
    Its just a really bad logo.

  • BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • EAL

    #10 looks like someone sat down on the empire state building

  • t_man

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Especially #’s 1 n 2

  • t_man

    I dont get #6.

  • Jacooob

    Now THIS is a list!

  • Mariam67

    I can’t really see the problems with # 6,5 and 4, but 10 and 2 are hilarious! XD

  • Bryce

    someone explain why 4 and 9 r bad. i dont see it

  • Cool stuff. I hope our logois not mentioned as well.

  • lisa simpson, not an abstract person.

  • Aw, I thought this list would be from a design standpoint, not a perverted point-of-view. :P

    Either way, that 2012 Olympics logo is just baaaaaaad.

  • This list is hilarious. #2 is the best!

  • Diogenes

    we can only believe that these signs were done in ignorance to our second mind…that is hilighted by a list like this.

  • Totally love this list! The bonus one I think was the best one, “And your leaky penis” haha. gunna have to show my husband this list. :)

  • I laughed my ass off at the leaky penis one.

  • phubbie

    i thought six looked like a freakish nazi cross

  • The London Olympic logo is the ugliest logo i’ve seen. It’s kind of forced to say it looks like someone giving a bj, but they would be fools if they’re gone use this piece of crap logo.

  • Jj

    Blade – true, it is kind of forced. But then someone mentioned that it looked like Lisa Simpson was giving the BJ. And then linked a looped animation of what the logo would look like in the act. And then it became less of a trial to see what the logo was alluding to.

    And also ruined the Simpsons for me a bit.

  • Hm, so reading this list while eating was a bad idea, I almost covered my laptop in rice with my laughter. Hehe! I did like this one they all were funny. I don’t really get the London Olympics one, my first impression was that it was some sort of abstract Swastika until I started reading the comments. I still don’t see any fellatio going on there. Must be just me! Hehe!

  • Yarr

    Yeah, I thought the London one (#6) was some kind of broken swastika or something. Which, I couldn’t see why if it was broken would be problematic. If it’s supposed to resemble a blowjob somehow, there must be a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands to read that much into it. If the problem is that it’s ugly and doesn’t make sense, then it definitely deserves to be on this list.

    Bryce: #9 looks like the guy is all cut apart. What kind of special surgery do they do?
    #4 is abstract, but once again, the children are not attached to their own extremeties, and the one on the left obviously has boobs. What the hell kinds of things are going on in that ‘children’s’ clinic? Or I guess if you want to go Rorscach, the logo kind of looks like a pissed off old man…
    Maybe I’m just too tired, but there’s a lot wrong with #4.

  • Santiago

    My god, what were they thinking?????
    #50 and #2 are so.. they’re just …
    I have no words!

    And #6, apart of the blowjob stuff (which is not completeley evident to me), deserves a place on the list simply because it is HORRIBLE.

    Great list, Jamie!

  • Santiago

    Sorry, I meant “#5”

  • Pingback: Bas|se|na  Blog » Google-Ads: Ihre Werbung, perfekt plaziert!()

  • Ginger Lee

    I thought #2 was the best. LMAO, that’d put some Neo-Cons panties in a twist.

  • ok – for those who don’t see what is wrong with the London Logo – here is a youtube clip to clear it up :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSJPjHtWd9E

  • And I was wrong – it is sex – not a blowjob

  • Borg

    I remember walking around somewhere in central Europe about 5-6 years ago and seeing #7 (the sausage one). It caught my eye immediately and I took a picture. I thought it was a sign for that particular restaurant, I had no idea it was for a brand of sausages. Now I realize the innuendo must be intentional. It certainly caught my eye and I definitely remember it years later.

  • jbjr

    #2, #1, bonus hilarious! #10 too

  • HiDD

    If you see a blowjob on the olympics one you have a problem, a pretty big one…

  • Paramnesia

    For #6 I first saw the Nazi swastika.

  • Lina

    They are bad… only if you have dirty minds!

  • Jj

    Jfrater –

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai0y5sLg5bg

    Actually, you’re not entirely wrong. It could be both.

  • I once read that every newspaper should have a 12 year old boy on staff to read headlines. If he laughs, then they should rewrite them. I’m beginning to think companies should have one on hand to check out their logos!

  • Tlmabp

    hahahaha nice list that made my day. *runs off to the pharmacy*

  • Yogi Barrister

    Just needed to make sure that awful Olympics logo(#6) was included. As a U.S. citizen, I resent seeing the Americas get buggered by Europe and Africa.

  • mooster

    Wow. I’d never seen that first one before; kind of caught me by surprise when the page loaded! A house, eh? Of course it is… lol

  • lol kidsexchange

    i didnt get some of them…
    especially the london loympics one or whatever…all i see is weird shapes

  • or number 9 [[special surgery]]

  • AngelClown

    You really have to look at the London logo in a certain way ONCE you know what it’s supposed to be… but I didn’t get it at first. Maybe I’m not as filthy as I thought…

  • AngelClown

    I think the Special Surgery is supposed to be 3 penises?

  • pooltop

    I think they’re all pretty funny except the olympic logo (old, been done) and #9. #9 doesn’t look like anything in particular. The rest are pretty damn funny though.

  • Hahaha…haha….ha. These were wicked funny, good list. =)

  • Useless

    I love this site. This list is amazing.

    I’ve always thought that the Olympic logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving head.

  • corinthian0430

    ROTFLMAO!!! great list! keep it up :)

  • Apart that this is is Hilarious… I have a A-Style jacket (#8)! :)

  • Brian Moo

    I take it you haven’t seen this one?

    http://korbo.info/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/745px-bbc-goatse-olympics.jpg

    That one was one purpose, but most people have no clue what it is supposed to be.

  • ianrey

    The logo for the 2008 GOP Convention is up there.

    http://www.gopconvention2008.com/media/logo/logo_600.jpg

    If that elephant isn’t trying to mount 2008, it is at least going to trample it.

  • Josh

    Even though there has been a lot of talk about the 2012 Olympics logo, I think it is a new age and we need to start to start to show the worlds culture in the logo. London is known as a trendy, high fashion city, so why not show it in the logo?

    People hate change, but change can be good. There is so much controversy over the logo which brings more attention to London and the Olympic games. I believe that was the intention of the logo, to shock and make people talk about the Olympics.

    Cheers.

    #6 looks like the nazi symbol for the ss, thats why its here…

  • cookie

    haha i thought the problem with the london logo was it kinda looks like a swastika, i’m not dirty enough i guess!!!

  • Twitus

    re: no. 6 – I thought it was a pair of legs running with a big fart coming out from the “low body part” (where the olympic logo is) before reading jfrater’s explanations… oh well lol it just show that abstract art can be interpreted in numerous ways!

  • Bridget

    I swear, that “Kidsexchange” one is from a store here in the city I live. It’s not there anymore.

  • CynthiaCity

    i guess i am stupid but i dont get 9! someone please explain!

  • Troy McClure

    very funny list. more pictures, please.

  • Seanette

    I must not have as dirty a mind as I sometimes think, since I didn’t see the presumably unintended interpretation of #6 until jfrater’s comment. My husband didn’t, either.

  • Lk

    Could someone explain to me picture 9, 6 and 4?

    I also agree with the others. This is a very funny list. LOL. ((:

  • Manda

    I am surprised that the OGC logo didn’t make the list.
    Even looking at it typed there, you get the idea. If the O is a man’s head, and the C is his legs, well then the G is… eh. If you get it , you get it.

  • kenwooi

    i dont understand the london olympics logo.. =P

    kenwooi.com

  • smokingfrog

    Well the #6 logo is well explained in this comment by jfrater here

    #9 : This is wht i laughed for :
    The circle represents a person’s head.
    The vertical line is the persons legs.
    And the other lines is the persons body after the so called “special” surgery.
    Now we dont want tht kind of surgery now do we?

    #4 : I think it is a women’s body, with the circles indicating boobs and so on

    I hope this helps, atleast these are reasons i laughed for.. LOL
