Drawing bad logos for beer money since 2010

What&#x27;s funny to me is this guy is clearly talented. I laughed my ass off, but even in his rush to create total garbage, you can still see his sense of space and weight creeping in.<p>God, click on on the testimonials and look at some of those logos, so funny.

For a more surreal online-request-artist I give you Jim&#x27;ll paint it [<a href="http://jimllpaintit.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jimllpaintit.tumblr.com&#x2F;</a>].<p>BTW the name is a reference to a British kids TV show called Jim&#x27;ll fix it [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim&#x27;ll_Fix_It" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jim&#x27;ll_Fix_It</a>] which has recently become somewhat tainted [<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/jimmy-savile" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;jimmy-savile</a>]

Lol.<p>On a serious note though, this would be an excellent way to get cheap concepts for a logo. Buy the dude 4 beers for the same logo and get someone that uses Photoshop well to digitize it properly.<p>80% of creating a logo is getting the concept.

Does this remind anyone else of I Want to Draw a Cat For You, made famous by Shark Tank?<p><a href="http://iwanttodrawacatforyou.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;iwanttodrawacatforyou.com&#x2F;</a>

The about page made me laugh, it&#x27;s worth a look... <a href="http://www.horriblelogos.com/about/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.horriblelogos.com&#x2F;about&#x2F;</a>

The &#x27;Springy Panther&#x27; is one of the best&#x2F;worst: <a href="http://www.horriblelogos.com/springy-panther/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.horriblelogos.com&#x2F;springy-panther&#x2F;</a><p>The comment from the buyer: “Thanks Horrible Logos. That’s so appalling we cant use it anywhere…just what we were looking for!”

Man, some of those are so bad I had to buy one!<p>The testimonials are well worth a click, BTW.

Quite a few of these follow established design principles while remaining creative, quirky, and unique.

Reminds me of the Five-Minute Logo guy - I actually prefer these, but both are superb.<p><a href="http://www.vonglitschka.com/5MinuteLogo/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vonglitschka.com&#x2F;5MinuteLogo&#x2F;</a>

Pretty brilliant. Paid to practice logo design with basically zero responsibility.

I guess he will now know for a fact whether or not this thing scales :)

A lot of these are actually brilliant as initial concepts!

I tried this guy last year after a few recommendations. I loved the result I got.<p><a href="http://www.vonglitschka.com/5MinuteLogo/index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vonglitschka.com&#x2F;5MinuteLogo&#x2F;index.html</a><p>There are a bunch of videos on his main site showing how he goes about the process, as well as other stuff.

I&#x27;d be really interested to find how much money this guy has made since he setup this site.

This in combination with vistaprint&#x2F;etc has virtually limitless options for ~$25-per-printed-item.

Oh the site is run on NSFN. Nice! I am using it as well for forwarding some emails.

One would think that after 3 years you&#x27;d learn how to draw a good logo =)
