Usually I don’t post bad design on the blog but these certainly deserve to be posted. How is it even possible that the designer didn’t see the innuendo’s brewing when designing these? This by far is the funniest and greatest-of-the-worst set of logos. It is almost unbelievable that this could happen. Just to add to the humor, some of these were designed for churches…

ROFL thanks for the laugh!
Ha ha ha! I don’t know how this slipped by not just the designer, but the client as well. Reminds me of the South Lake Union Trolly fiasco.
You’re missing a corker: http://www.sailing.org/images/news/12_OG_logo1_360.gif
Oh man, the South Lake Union Trolly situation in Seattle was rather funny. It’s hard to imagine that went unnoticed.
less a logo… Do people not bust on this one? http://www.kumon.com/
I’ll confess I don’t see what’s so risque about the Safe Place sign. It’s an adult hugging a child, which doesn’t automatically mean ‘OMG Paedo!’ to me. Or is there something else I’m not seeing?
The one for the Islamic Understanding Institute has me laughing out loud, though. Did nobody really see that?
@Mel, the last one (safe place) is really sort of symbolizing the term “reach around”. I’m not going to link it in the comments but feel free to search that one at your own discretion.
@Peter, hilarious.
The Islamic centre is a standard image of domes, domes are also a part of Eastern Christian churches so people exposed to those things see them not what you guys in the USA see!
The first image is in no way sexual it’s just that you’ve framed it as such!
Now the dental one is a clinger but I bet you if you saw that sign in a hospital you’d see the dentist and the patient in a normal way context also influences perception!
@Tyrone, I don’t think its that we only see them just as sexual because it is quite evident what they were trying to do with the design. The problem really lies with the way they were designed and because of that they hold the double meaning… which can be good or bad. In this case to the majority of folks they’re viewed with a sexual connotation.
The innuendoes are our own. My five year old granddaughter does not see sexual images. Only those of us who are tainted see them.
How about this one?

The last one doesn’t seem as much sexual as it looks like the looming white figure is about to eat the black figure’s brains. Doesn’t look like a safe place to me.
ahahahahah!! very good
Hilarious.
How about the London Olympics logo aka Lisa Simpson blowjobbing…

Hah, uncomfortably sexual company logos brought to us by the blog with an uncomfortably sexual name.
@Tim Exactly what I thought. When I first clicked on the blog I thought that the name was an innuendo joke itself. Probably not understood by those used to american english, but if you speak British english, that name is hilarious. Or especially if you are Irish and ing is commonly pronounced en. Quality.
Huh? I guess calling them “uncomfortably sexual” doesn’t tell a lot about the logos themselves, as much as it tell about the kind of society you’re living in…
ahahah thanks, I’m definitely trying out that Loelia massage thing ^_^
Hehe, Renault is missing ;-))
@peter I always make fun of that kumon sign. It looks like a retarded face that doesn’t understand anything he is being taught.

I guess I must be on the same wave length because every single one had me rolling! Shame on me!
One miss: The Amazon.com logo. I’ve always thought it looked like a penis. A crooked penis, but a penis nonetheless.
Hobaaa :)) That’s amazing!
I think some of those are on purpose. Like the computer store.
is the best
Maybe someone was “fucking” with the church ;-)
@purpdurley: Whence pedophilia? Seeing pedophiliac acts from a bunch of innocuous poses and abstract shapes says a lot more about your mind, than about the shapes themselves, that’s what I was trying to say…
Adhi’s just pissed because he came from the Islamic Understanding Institute.
Lighten up, Francis.
Don’t forget this one: http://www.kumandgo.com/about-kum-and-go.cfm
@neg: Is that necessarily so? Alrighty, then :D
Amusing post and comment thread, still…
How could you forget A-Style?

OH NO!!! That’s frigging hilarious! Especially the dentist one. This is right up there with bad domain names like Therapist Finder (therapistfinder.com) and Pen Island (penisland.com)
great!
Not listed here, Amazon’s “arrow” looks a lot like a penis. To make matters worse, Amazon built a structure in Seattle’s downtown that looks too much like a scrotum and testicles. Amazon employees familiarly refer to this structure as “the balls.”
The amazon logo looks like a penis to me.
JackoLantern. I thought the same thing; The amazon logo looks like a penis to me.

no one has noticed that Tesla’s logo looks like an IUD or that Amazon’s logo looks like a crooked penis?
Creating a logo design that is visually appealing and a story teller is vital. A brand logo that is unique and stands out renders an excellent performance when compared to other brands. The intention of creating a great brand logo is to help the customers recognize and memorize the brand easily. For more info click here – http://www.logopeople.in.
The A to Z and Amazon Smile excuses are long gone now, it is clear that Jeff Bezos penis is in every home in America, every back door, pile waiting to be taken away, every box to be donated. Penis penis penis for one and for all.
Good Sharing information. It’s very useful for may company employee if you needs graphics design support then you go my website and contact my team.
It Is Obviously a Penis!! And it is being shoved in our faces and down our throats by a huge company!! I hate it! I find it to be emotionally abusive and a mild rape experience every time I see it!
BTW, Has anyone seen his rocket because his rocket, space ship, looks like a penis too! It really grosses me out that he gets away with this! I don’t understand why we have to be subjected to this? It is everywhere, trucks, billboards, tv, cardboard boxes! Come on! Does anyone really want to see this guys impression of a penis plastered everywhere? There were plenty of decent looking logos fir Amazon before he became a large enough business to get away with this!
How long are we as the American public going to let big business get away with indecency inflicted on the public? Is he really any better than Harvey W.? It would be hard to boycott that delivery company and I think I will do my best. We should at least have an option to change it on Prime where we can least hide it when watching tv and it pops up in our home in front of our families repeatedly, right?
Amazing, has anyone else noticed that the tesla models are “S3XY” aka “SEXY” and the logo turned upside down looks like sombodies penis
