Worst pieces of Graphic Design
Posted by: JamieL_v2 on 07 April 2010
As someone who studied graphic design, I find good design fascinating.
I also find bad design interesting too, and to be honest, I don't think a worse piece of design comes to mind than the London 2012 Olympic logo (above).
The Poly/Uni I was at made a god attempt, but I can't find a copy of the logo for 'The University of Humberside' from the early 1990. The logo was so bad than all but one of the students graduating from the graphic design course I was on singed a letter asking that it not be put on our degree certificates as we fest it devalued our studies in design. Our lecturers signed it too. That logo was so bad that the Uni had to move to Lincoln to rid themselves of it, at least I think that was the reason, but there might have been other factors.
Another intensely disliked logo for me is the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo.
Who came up with that piece of ****.
Pieces that some hate are loved by others, so it is completely subjective.
Anyway, I am sure there are lots of loathed pieces of design out there, but can anyone suggest something actually worse than the London 2012 logo?
