When Religious Logos Fail Really, Really Badly

[MineralMan]

The logo below is a real one, created in 1973 for the Catholic Church's Archdiocesan Youth Commission. Imagine their embarrassment at not understanding why it was not a good idea. And the graphic designer? As they say, WTAF?

1. That's. Not. Good.

I’m not sure if this one is an accident or on purpose

3. I didn't see it at first

what a boob!

[lagomorph777]

6. It took me a minute too!

[MineralMan]

5. I sort of love that one, really.

In a way, it's a very ingenious use of positive and negative space.

On the other hand...it would be better for a belly dancing class, I think.

9. Well, here's another fun one:

I just finished a page on Neurobranding and was looking for examples of branding fails.

12. Oh that's hilarious

[MineralMan]

14. You really have to wonder whether the graphic designer

was getting back at some slow paying client.

I mean...really...

15. I just googled - logo fails - OMG there are some great ones

[MineralMan]

17. Yes, indeed!

20. I can't believe that wasn't intentional.

Unlike the one with the priest getting a BJ.

[tymorial]

21. Ohh lol

I have been sitting here for 2 minutes trying to figure it out.

You know what's funny. As soon as you figure it out that's all you can see

[edhopper]

22. I am certain this was on purpose

[customerserviceguy]

2. I'd have liked to

have seen their faces when someone finally did explain it!

4. "I don't get it."

"You know...bj, oral sex!"
"I still don't get it."
"What do I have to...goddamnit, do I have to get on my knees and show you!?!?"
"OK"

7. Or....

[MineralMan]

8. Just look at the grins on those players!

Sometimes fate hands you a cookie!

[saidsimplesimon]

10. Curt, still laughing

Are you and MM playing tag team on satire?

[CurtEastPoint]

11. Hey, like Cronkite, I just report what I see!

[underpants]

13. 😆

19. Top row middle was not just a player, he's also the graphic designer.

[MineralMan]

16. Now that I think about it, that's what you get when you

hire a graphic designer who only has a compass and a straightedge as tools.
