….Sometimes they just deserve it
We don’t know the brief and the client seems pretty game if the comments on this BBC News article are anything to go by, but this work is just bloody awful.
Bad typo, terrible fishy graphic and just Another case of yet another pointless place brand that will do nothing for the seaside town of Ilfracombe and even less for the design industry, other than to make it a laughing stock again.
So I thought it would be nice to share a few more howlers with you.
In any language this is just wrong. How on earth didn’t they see the problem with this graphic. Perhaps they just got the quality of work they deserved?
As above, i’m not sure what they do. I ca make a guess, but i’d probably be wrong. It’s truly horrible in terms of work but if happy penises are your thing then it is bang on brief.
Who’s to blame here? The designer, the client or the sign maker. Anyway it doesn’t matter now but this is another awful example of a total lack of care for your work. Even the worst typographer in the world couldn’t seriously produce work this bad could they?
Another penis inspired logo rolls of the production line.Anotherhappy client pays his money for appalling work to make us smile.
The last and one of the worst examples today comes from Arlington. Funny, funny, funny. Was it a joke idea for a client the designer hated that they accidentally approved?
Well it went to far. They used it and now it’s in the public domain. Oops.
I love Ilfracombe, we used to go there when I was a kid, and I love the art and grace of logo design. This really crappy place brand/logo does nothing for them, it just makes them look a little bit silly.
