A new contest wants your best bad logo ideas

Bad logo competition

If a room full of people was asked to name the world’s most recognisable brands, it’s almost guaranteed that a few usual suspects would crop up. And while no singular element can be enough to carry an entire brand to success, these logos do some heavy lifting when it comes to recall, desirability and, eventually, legacy. But what exactly constitutes a strong logo – and what makes a bad one?

It’s a question that designers can pore over endlessly, but US creative studio Fuzzco is taking a fun approach to the subject with its new competition, How Low Can Your Logo? The brief is to create a bad logo (although in keeping with any poorly handled design challenge, people are free to skip the brief altogether). The client? Simple Marketing Online Responsive Tech Solutions, otherwise known as SMORTS.

The entries so far are satisfyingly ugly by most accounts, featuring heavy use of dodgy typefaces – including everyone’s (least) favourite of all time, Comic Sans. Clip art-style imagery figures prominently too, reminiscent of all those 2000s-era invitations and posters created in Microsoft Word that most of us thought we’d probably left behind. Many of the designs are cluttered and convoluted – perhaps indicative of the general gravitation towards minimalism – while misleading layouts of the brand name seem to be among the worst culprits.

The winning entry and runners up will be decided by a panel of six judges, including Pentagram partner Michael Beirut, illustrator and Wes Anderson collaborator Jessica Hische, and Google Design’s Carly Ayres. Creatives have until 10pm BST on Tuesday 21 April to enter their most ghastly logos.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs. VJ Day, Times Square, NY by Alfred Eisenstaedt (August 14, 1945) © LIFE Gallery of Photography.
