    very different wwwwwwwwwwww

  2. cregan says:

    err think that might be photoshoped :)

    • Pauly says:

      HAHA dude he turned it 90 degrees, yes that is Photoshopped. How else did he do it? With turntables?

      • matt shafer is dumbface says:

        exactly
        to Oli, I looked at that link, pretty funny word usage lol. ocg “cracks one off”, “five-knuckle shuffle”

      • danielryan says:

        or he just turned his camra sideways…… your a fail

        • Will says:

          Are you serious – camera! You fail! You fail! it’s a logo, he didn’t take a picture, if you notice, it is digital, with no artifacts of a camera, simply an edit using some piece of software, POSSIBLY photoshop, or maybe some other software package, which is generally called a ‘photoshop’ anyway, so yes – it IS photoshopped

          • cheesebrrgrr says:

            I can turn stuff in word though! FAIL. A win: my teacher has photoshop as required education.

          • WillD says:

            Do you even know the definition of artifact? An artifact is an object from the distant past which is preserved and gives evidence. The word you should have used is “evidence”.

            • Morty McHavesham says:

              Are you kidding? That’s like saying “Doktors are ppl hU save u” when someone talks about a photo being doctored.

      • Mike says:

        He could have used Ms paint if he’s a cheap fail

  3. tatyana says:

    perverted snowman?

  4. Captain Obvious says:

    What you don’t know is this is the logo for the Association of chronic Masturbators.

  5. Ricky Henderson says:

    Oh this is just not right… The author of this site is using censorship.

    And it’s selective too. So many other people are doing the EXACT SAME THING as ricky was and they’re not getting banned for it. Nonsense! Lower the ban on Ricky!

  6. Cassidy says:

    Ka-what? How’s that a fail?

  7. Anonymous says:

    elég szar sztem, de mind

  8. janai says:

    First of all, what does the logo stand for? Plus how would it be used on stationery, package design and so forth?

  9. Alex says:

    I did not understand… somebody tell me what fail it is?

  10. Anonymous says:

    Here’s an article describing it… pretty funny… http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/24/nogc124.xml

  11. Kit says:

    This logo is for a British company was was MEANT to be viewed horizontally. However someone at this unfortuante company rotated it 90 degrees and still thought it looked great to them, apparently. They had it printed, etched, and designed into all their new company apparel and signs. Expensive fail.

    And speaking as a graphic designer, this is also a FAIL for the designer. Why? Because the customer will always pick the stupidest looking logo.

  12. auntyherohag says:

    looks like a man chocking his chicken to me….

    very abstract.

  24. [...] LOGO YG GAGAL Logo adalah simbol dari sebuah lembaga atau komunitas, maka dari itu logo harus sangat hati-hati dibuatnya dan harus bermakna sesuai yang diinginkan. Sekilas ngga ada yang salah dengan logo ini, tapi entah mengapa logo ini menjadi kontroversial dan membuat kesal kliennya. Tapi coba kalo kita putar logo ini 90 derajat… yah…gimana ngga kontroversial dan bikin kliennya marah……?!@#@!$ (sumber: failblog.wordpress.com) [...]

  42. Dark says:

    Haha, you’d have to be blind to not see that this was a bad logo. And the 2012 logo is terrrible as well.

  43. Dark says:

    Hell, before now the acronym OGC meant nothing to me… now I can’t look at it without seeing this!

  62. Designer says:

    This is probably intentional! Look up “subliminal messages” in google. There are numerous references to sex in everyday advertising. It’s hidden. I know because I work in advertising. If it makes you think about sex, you’re more likely to buy it.

  63. YOli says:

    Took me a couple of glances…ha-ha!

  64. Konny says:

    I know of a consultant called CGC in Sweden with an (almost) identical logo. The same effect is apparent. Though pointed out to me casually at one time before, I didn’t see it until I read this thread.

  65. mcheccyb says:

    hehe, my dad works for OGC.

  66. Stupid says:

    I fail. This took me ten minutes to understand.

  98. logistics fail says:

    I wonder how the heck the person who did this ever thought of the logo being so… He must work to that company and fell asleep with his/her head on the desk and when woke up noticed this… Either this, or a frequent “handyman” :) )

  106. s4n71 says:

    turn the little switch in your mind!that will do

  107. To all the people above who are arguing if it has been “photoshopped”, you have no idea what you are talking about. Where there is no technical correct answer as it’s a slang term based around a product, something being described as being photoshopped generally refers to something that has been edited to modify the origional image in order to trick people, like putting the face of a celebrity on the body of someone else, or adding something to a photograph such as that photo of the guy at the top of the world trade towers supposedly with a jumbo jet coming at him. Using an image editing software (anything from ms paint through to photoshop) to turn and image on it’s side is NOT refered to as “photoshopping”!
