Some countries just don't get it.

Bad Russia! Bad!

Geography isn't that difficult.

The Port Authority claims to be "Making our world better one step at a time." But wait... which planet are they talking about?


I never realized The Port Authority was an alien organization. It all makes sense, now.

And if you think their logo is bad...

This is the new tourism logo for the state of Wisconsin (yes, states have logos).

Is the little red man doing a handstand supposed to represent how Wisconsinites should be living? And who thought blood red/pea soup green was an inspired color palette?

The better question is: why do government institutions keep spending obscene amounts of money on logo design and branding that I could have done with ClarisWorks in my middle school computer lab?

This trash cost Wisconsin taxpayers $50,000.

Wisconsin, I'll redesign your logo for $500. Just let me know. I'll totally do it.

Learn to photoshop.

This ad for a vegetarian restaurant is an interesting design idea but the execution is all wrong. Some simple patching would have cleared up that messy distortion in the jawline.

That is unless Vienna-based design firm Jung von Matt/Donau intended to make it look hand-cut and reassembled. If that was the case, then I would have opted for even more of a collage-effect; the way it is now just looks like sloppy photoshop.

Wait a second ... is that guy eating a bear? Who eats bear?

This just breaks all the rules. Yes, there are rules.

I didn't even know there was Olympic racquetball!

Really, Levi's? Really?


Notice anything funny about the reflection in this print ad? Bad photoshop never goes out of style.

This guy... no, this guy!

For all the money film studios have to spend on advertising I'm sick of seeing dull, uninspired movie posters (remember The Bucket List?).

Well, I hope the studio thinks Paul Rudd is ready to sell a movie all by himself because their ad campaign for his new film "I Love You, Man" isn't going to do them any favors.

Check out the lame, gradient background! Admire the stifling symmetrical layout! Awe at Jason Segel's painfully awkward pose!

Hollywood, put some thought into your film posters, please.
