I like these options, but let's see what the committee thinks...


I'm probably biased, being from Cleveland and all, but this is one of the ugliest identities I've ever seen. It's a frankenstein of bad ideas including the typeface, the word "Quicken" boxed in and reversed out of red, and the outdated, arbitrary and unoriginal "swish." Ugh. It all adds up to ugly. I can't blame the designer for this. I'm certain this is the product of an unweildy group of non-creative people.

Reminds me of the YouTube video, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLZCtWwJvXo&feature=related"

Bling on, blingettes...

























This is a real "award" aimed at people who are supposed to be top-notch video, film, print and web designers. More money could be made selling this as a gag gift. No self-respecting designer would want anything to do this silver-plated, rhinestone-encrusted, monstrosity.

Dear Lord...


Do you love your children? If so, you'll sheath them in the only PJ's endorsed by God.

What the...?

I can only imagine the lack-of-a-brain-storming sessions...

You Bet Your Sweet Aspercreme!

What brave former executive approved this campaign? Unfortunately, under siege from AARP, the company changed it. If you're going to run a campaign like this, stick to your guns!

AquaPenis...er, pets, I mean AquaPets!

Some of these don't require commentary.

Yummo! Fried Chik'n in a Can!


If you buy your groceries from Amazon.com (and who doesn't?), then you'll be glad to know that Loma Linda Fried Chik'n with Gravy is in stock.

Um, which door leads straight to hell?


Do you think Melanie art-directed this web site? Thanks to Shelley Gierman for submitting.

Who wants to play Stab Me With an Ice Pick?



An oldie-but-goody, this game could only have been better if each jart was coated in lead paint and filled with mercury.

Angels and Enemas


A spa in the city of Zheleznovodsk, Russia, is appropriately proud of the role they play in enemas and enema supplies. So they commissioned an 800-pound bronze statue of an "enema bulb" being carried on the backs of angels. The banner in the background reads, "Let's beat constipation and sloppiness with enemas!" YEAH! Now, let's get some shit done!

Also, how do you beat sloppiness with an enema?

Not yer grandad's antique store...


Unless he was totally radical! Sadly, Antiques Extreme was ahead of its time and is no longer in business.

Atrocious Architecture



If you worship bad design, this is your church. Kudos to the North Korean government for spending the time, effort, and money necessary to take bad design to such a monumental level.
