    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

  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.

  13. La Hedonista says:

    I suppose it depends on what they’re selling?

  14. nypie says:

  20. Raph says:

    My gosh – thats… :O

  21. [...] bueno, hay que darle muchas vueltas y verlo desde distintos puntos de vista para que sea único. En este al parecer los creadores no le dieron ni una vuelta [...]

  22. Happenstance says:

    Took a second to kick in, then I ROFLed.
    Take a look at the latest LegoRobot comic (#69 at the time I’m writing this) and tell me PIC NOT RELATED.

  23. obez says:

    ok…………………?

  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) [...]

    yeah stick with the normal veiw

  29. papa bear says:

    @Chunque. Take another peek at it. It clearly looks like a stick figure guy who is bowlegged slammin the salami

  30. [...] don’t know anything about image consulting but a logo gone wrong like this is not how you would want your consultant to err. If you don’t mind ending up as the next [...]

  31. uthek says:

    I didn’t figure out was wrong with it till I read the comment about salami and then went back looking for something pervy in it, then I noticed it.

  32. poster says:

    When you see it, you’ll shit bricks.

  33. Douchebag McGee says:

    Oh man… looks like he’s evacuating.

  34. daveman says:

    “it presents a very clean, uncluttered and modern identity.” lol sure it does…

    this is just as bad as the 2012 london olympic logo!

  35. Jon says:

    get you heads out of the gutter! all of you (-:

  36. brblife says:

    took me a little while to get it, but its good.

  37. nick says:

  38. The vegetable man says:

    F- I’d say

  39. Anonymous says:

    took a minute but what a fail :-D

  40. :-D says:

    took a minute but that ones good :-D

  41. Natán says:

    Haha, so funny!

  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!

  44. Dark says:

    Sorry for the triple post, but:

    “and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend”

  45. Observer says:

    Unless someone here had already explained it, I would have asked why this would be so funny!

    This is a VERY INSIDER FAIL to me! :(

  46. He’s holding the remote. You guys are gross.

    That is rich.
    Own Grip Copulation…
    Maybe?…

  58. Sean says:

    I don’t really think this is a fail.
    I think it’s probably subliminal you know?
    Or else it was a prank design that the firm thought for sure they wouldn’t pick

  59. bob says:

    looks like a snowman with a dick

  60. Winston says:

    wow– and to think the original source of OGC was a dinosaur–

  61. [...] maar voor de studerende medemens zitten er een paar grappige tussen. De zogeheten failblog. Mijn favoriet is alvast: http://failblog.org/2008/04/24/logo-design-fail/ [...]

  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.

  67. slowpoke says:

    haha, took me like 10 minutes 2, mmm really good indeed…

  68. JB says:

    I picked it up right on the second I saw it haha. Guess it shows the level of dirtyness one’s mind has, heh.

  69. yourmom says:

    ejaculating

  70. Milan says:

    Took me a long time to figure this fail

  71. gruelin1 says:

    dude that’s so frickin hilarious

  72. guitarfreak says:

    I don’t get it

  73. AbeX300 says:

    THAT LOGO JUST GAVE US THE FINGAH!

  74. a failure says:

    I saw this on Countdown w/Kieth Olbermann. My dad didn’t get it.

  75. Andy says:

    Well even letters have urges, HUH.

  76. jaragr says:

    I realized that this had 666 votes, so i voted.

  77. amelia says:

    LOL @ the dude who said this was photoshopped.

  78. MentalFloss says:

  84. Drew says:

    who actually took time to notice this?

  85. Azn guy says:

    haha xD nice observation
    posted on my B-day too :D

  86. David moseley says:

    This was my friend rick’s project when working on a brief at his saatchi internship. Needless to say he’s been asked if he’s checked everything he designs at 90 degrees before showing the client now.

  87. DanRaccoon says:

    I first saw this on HIGNFY, it’s the greatest thing ever

  88. JJR says:

    Marking that one down as a “WIN” actually…

    Especially the phonetic reading….”Oh, Geee! Seee?”

  93. Dieguux says:

    Goatse?

  94. I’m new in the internet business field. I’m skilled in the graphics side, but I need info to learn about this business. I was going through your post and got a few pointers.

  95. Allaiyah says:

    Must have been designed by a real wanker.

  96. lolz says:

    i made this

  97. policeman558 says:

    XD THATS A PENIS FAIL LMAO

  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” :) )
