    There was a thread in another forum I frequent about bad/inappropriate/unfortunate logos. So I thought I'd share some of them. Feel free to post your own.

    Actually, this thread should have been titled...

    "Subliminally Conceived Logos"

    The catholic one is just sick and evil. Bet a few priests had a good chuckle over that.

    This is what happens when you use a bad typeface.

    Who could accuse the catholic church of a cover-up? It's all out in the open!

    This logo discussion is a classic example of how humans are wired to recognize patterns. Our eyes and brains are hard wired to find patterns. We do it so well that we find them even when they aren't there: clouds, shadows, photos from space, images of the virgin. We see things everywhere, especially if they are sexy. We have some hard wiring in that area too. :D

    Some video stores have a back room for their adult videos - maybe they're expanding their business in these hard times.
