Lesson in Logo Design
The past few months I have been debating how to have some logos designed and have become stuck. I often see logos I like or hate but never can decide on what direction to go. I am so stuck.
As I think about my problem, a friend sent me an email that only gave me more to worry about. When creating a company name or product you have to worry about what it will mean in different languages. Now, not all of us do – but if you plan on going global you had better do your research.
Back to logos and my problem (this is MY blog you know). So Im stuck on what to have the logos look like and I get this email. It has some samples of what could possibly be the best examples of the worst company logos/names. Take a look at the samples below, and learn from their mistakes:
Wow, what can one say. Why didnt they use a hyphen or something?
This one isnt that bad, unless you look at it with a dirty mind. Once you do – it is hard to not only it.
This is just a bit disturbing and very wrong. I know they meant well, but the final result just should be redone.
Based on the logo and that it is for a pharmacy, I am guessing they sell a large amount of the “little blue pill”.
Not quite sure what to say here……
Now I am sure that the above logos will stick with you, but do you really want people to remember you for that reason? When creating logos and designs for your company, be sure that you dont run into the problem that these companies did.
