Deconstructions of the GOP logo.  Link.

Also, arabic versions of popular products.  Oh, and storefronts.

This image (by a friend of a friend of a guy someone once new) is hilarious.  Via blowatlife.  Shirts are available through the site as well.

Also, trying to find an article that a friend sent me a while back, this happened:

This link has more on the Pepsi logo, and the scientific makeup of the mathematical shapes.  Go to that link and find the PDF.  (Thanks, Gabriella!)

This is kinda a System in the Wild post, and kinda just a case of accidently bad logos.  Link.

Can you believe that what you see above is part of a real sign?  Someone thought to themselves that this poor excuse for typography and signage was a good idea?

Over at YourLogoMakesMeBarf.com you can see plenty more logos that, well, may make you barf.  It’s like Cake Wrecks for graphic designers.  Thanks to Systemic Marty for the link! LINK.

Thanks to Systemic Adrian for sending these my way!  The redesigns of a bunch of logos from 2009.  From Mastercard to Doctor Who, I must say I’m 50-75% against most of the redesigns.  The one above (hey, I know my audience Systemics) is one of the few I’m a fan of.  I never understood what was up with that kayak logo anyway for The Doctor.  LINK.

Ever really look at the FedEx logo? Did you ever notice the arrow in between the E and the X? If not, have you had a graphic designer point it out to you at some point?

Either way, it’s there and it’s one of the more well known logos of our time, up there with Apple and IBM. The Sneeze interviewed the designer of the FedEx logo (Lindon Leader) a while back, and I stumbled across it recently. Makes for an interesting read and makes you realize just how much thought goes into just about everything around us. LINK »

Btw as a quick aside, have you read The Sneeze? It’s good. Poke around there. Especially good is this “How To Draw a Face” article.

Feel free to discuss the logo and your thoughts on the article here in the comments. Ever notice the arrow? Like looking at logos? Think Lindon Leader is a genius or was in the right place at the right time? DISCUSS.
