Bad logo of the week

corner-cleanersThis clothes clean­ing establishment’s logo was so bad I had to show it to you, my friends.

This is a per­fect case of “spend a lit­tle money and get a lot”. Hir­ing a really good designer to do a great logo might be expen­sive. But there are any num­ber of mediocre design­ers out there who could do a much bet­ter logo for cheap.

Point being? If you have a professional-looking logo, you project an image of qual­ity. A garbage logo like this one? Well, you do dry clean­ing. Just dry cleaning.

Which of these hair salons would you be will­ing to spend more money at — top (Cuts to Dye For) or bot­tom (Vida Salon)?

    That is a really ugly sign. I don’t much care for the bot­tom one either, but it’s eye-catching.

    Wow... that’s hideous... and not only the logo, either. Place looks like some of these “gentlemen’s” clubs you see along the highway...

    And, while the top logo is cre­ative and shows some imag­i­na­tion... I pre­fer the bot­tom one.

    Do I win? :-)

  3. I’ve been won­der­ing for a while now, what if an estab­lish­ment of sorts has a great logo/design, yet has hor­ri­ble service/poor prod­uct. The­o­ret­i­cally, couldn’t a busi­ness that fails in all other respects have a great logo? How often does that hap­pen? Can you think of any? I can’t, yet. Maybe that’s why we so read­ily con­nect good design with good business.

    Thanks Tim, Steve & Johanna.

    Steve: This was actu­ally the back door. I shot it that way as it made the logo look even more dire.

    Johanna: I agree that the best logos accu­rately reflect the busi­ness or orga­ni­za­tion they represent.
