The 10 worst corporate logo fails of all time

Czechia's largest sausage manufacturer has been in business since 1917 despite having a fairly worrying logo which at best looks like someone who has never eaten a sausage before.

Since 1906 Sherwin Williams' sinister logo has been covering the world in blood red paint. "Cover the earth" in the creepiest way possible.

Taking away Canada's maple syrup crown was never going to be easy but Vermont's state outline — which looks a lot like legs and hindquarters — seemingly urinating into a bucket, probably isn't the way to go about it.

The best way to advertise your attention to detail is to draw a very rudimentary car for your design garage, right? It's unclear how effective as a business strategy this is, but presumably the costs involved in paying for this logo saved funds for other parts of the company.

The Starbucks subsidiary's decision to redesign its iconic logo in 2010 drew the immediate and intense ire of discerning fans. Some described it as an insult to the brand, while others said it looked like a red smiley face with its tongue out — whichever way you look at it, it's not great.

Changing corporate logos was even more of an ordeal for clothing brand Gap in 2010.

The company swapped its signature blue background for Helvetica with a blue patch. The redesign was met with scorn and forced a reversal from Gap, which swapped back to its original logo within a week.

Pepsi spent $1 million to tilt their logo slightly on its axis in 2009 and in doing so caused all sorts of mean responses with some saying it resembled an obese man.

Another great example of failing to take the time to fully check your work before submitting. Kids Exchange may well be a lovely thing but combining them together ... not so much.

This Maine-based retailer probably felt like they were doing everyone a favor with its out-there logo but, instead gave the world a very unappealing image of wearing clothes reminiscent of a cat's behind.
