Worst logo redesigns

I remember when a local bookstore I loved decided to update its charming, classic logo to something that looked like a minimalist's unfinished sketch. Suddenly, the cozy place I'd frequented felt oddly impersonal. It seems some companies believe a new logo will miraculously solve their problems, overlooking that not every redesign is a stroke of genius. If you've ever stared at a brand's new emblem and wondered what they were thinking, these worst logo redesigns will resonate.

This collection showcases 23 instances where companies took the plunge with a new logo, only to find themselves swimming against a tide of public criticism. The images highlight how a logo design can shift from iconic to infamous overnight, serving as a masterclass in logo design fails. Each photo delves into the missteps of bad logo redesigns, illustrating how even well-intentioned updates can backfire spectacularly. From overly simplistic designs that strip away brand identity to convoluted images that leave audiences baffled, these controversial logo changes underscore the risks of fixing what wasn't broken. It's a visual journey through branding blunders that sparked debates and, in some cases, prompted a hasty return to the drawing board.

After scrolling through these questionable branding choices, you likely found yourself both amused and perplexed. The images offered a mix of disbelief and nostalgia, reminding you of the original logos that perhaps should have been left untouched. It's been an eye-opening exploration into how not all change leads to progress, especially in the world of design.
