It is subjective, but that "logo" is pretty much just a bowl of supposedly looking tuna, and that's it. Who devises something like that and calls it a vanity card?

WOW! That's what I'd call a bad logo!

Here's one logo that I think is bad

It's just a bland and boring logo and I just really dislike this logo a lot! Why couldn't they just use the American Magnetic logo instead on international releases?

FADYO (since so many of its elements were stolen), The Video Bancorp (clearly they didn't have the tools to even capture the logo on the monitor, since it's very clearly a monitor and interface), and Boyd's (sloppy through and through).

Enterprise Producciones S.A.

Self-explanatory. Stole the entire Prism Entertainment logo plastered with slow and cheap computer animation. 11/10 would definitely recommend watching.

I was initially gonna include the Tim Burton Productions logo as well, but even the design itself has more effort put into it than the waste of a stock image Jason Sudeikis calls a logo.

And the company only went 37 years without one!

Just about any Indian, Pakistani and Nepalese religious logo if anything really. Most of them don't have their company names appear, have a terrifying look to them and consist of a lot of propaganda.

Nah. And barely any of these I would consider these as "logos". Calling them the worst or terrifying is totally disrespectful to their traditions.

The people who made this probably just cut clips from disaster movies, hired some cel animators, a voice actor, and called it a logo.

That's what we like to call a racist comment. It's just hindu mantras.

This one might have some nice MIDI music, but it just drags on and on for minutes when it could just end in like 15 seconds, and that combined with the visible frames is surely annoying. LGR said it even triggered his screensaver 2 minutes in.

When it comes to video game logos, THIS has to be to worst.

Vijetha Video is the right answer for me. It blatantly and shamelessly steals the DTS logo and has virtually no originality.

I'd argue that the 2008 Oriental Pictures logo could count, largely due to it being a strange Pixar logo copy. An anomaly, if you will.

If you thought Sickminecraft45's WDHV logo was bad enough here's this German TCF Video logo and this British CBS Fox logo.

Hmm... I wonder if there was a secret connection between Fox and Disney in the early '80s that led to these two logos and the WDHV logo that I mentioned?

Alright I'm getting involved 5 months late becus I can. Now here are logos I think are worse than flat walkers.

PRODUCTION: VIDEO BANCORP - If someone would ask me "is this the best logo ever?", I would say "If "best" and "worst" changed their terms, this truly is the greatest among every logo ever". That's how much I hate it. In fact, it's so great, they showed a toolbar just in case we ever wondered what software this is made in. And a fantastic logo can't be left out without a typo! That's all I have to say.

TELEVISION: KIRIBATI TV NEWS - It's just a low quality gif of the Kiribati flag waving. The only reason is because this is the country's first ever logo, so this one may get a pass.

HOME MEDIA: ANY STILL TEXT PLACEHOLDER-LIKE LOGO - Cliche, mundane, boring, empty of life, you get the hard-hitting drill.

Yeah that's all I want to say. There are still seven more categories, but really, I don't have an opinion on any of these categories, just the three mentioned above I care about.

Hate to be that guy, but the sentence is technically grammatically correct if you remove the line separating the logo and the first text line.

I have to agree with Gilby on the fact that the Video Bancorp technically has a grammatically correct message, but it's definitely one of the cheapest logos ever made.

As for what logos I hate...

  • My choice of worst television logo goes to... Ruby's Tuna. How the h-e-double hockey sticks is a mere image of a bowl of "tuna" a actual logo?
  • My choice of worst home video (and adult entertainment, in this case) logo goes to... Enterprise Producciones S.A. The reason should be pretty obvious.
  • My choice of worst video game logo goes to... Selena Studios. Though the music's nice, the logo is WAY too long.
  • And my choice for worst film logo goes to... FADYO's 2nd logo. Stealing songs from the Beatles and the 1990 Universal logo explains why.

I realized a while back that Video Bancorp is not a Production company. LMA-

So I think it's time for a remake or something

Film Logo - Vijayshri Pictures (1st Logo): This logo is so goofy, the people behind this mess didn't even bother to cut out the ending portion of the Revolution logo. This logo not only stole two logos, but any originality the company did put in the logo is downright pathetic. Also, the audio here is generic for India and doesn't add any variety that separates this from the rest prior to the logo that are similar.

Television Logo/Vanity Card - So Easy Productions (3rd Logo): I certainly cannot think of a television production logo more worthy of this spot than this vanity card. Where do I even begin? First of all, it's Amy Schumer. Worst comedian to ever have civil rights in this day and age. Already off to a bad start. Second, the visuals are disgusting. What do I even say, really? The third reason why this logo will give you aids is because it's so generic without the company name shown. If you think this logo is funny, I'll automatically think you got a screw loose in your head. Not even one of those discord users that send gore pics for the fun of it would like this.

Home Entertainment/Public Domain Distributor Logo - The Video Bancorp: The equivalent of motion graphics without effort. There are so many good candidates for this spot, but this logo easily takes the cake. Nothing to say that isn't what I already said.

Tech Logo' - Those still Authoring-type logos: Boring.

Educational Logo - Eyes 'n Ears Productions: This is just ugly to look at. Who would want to see a creature with eyes and ears bigger than the Egyptian Pyramid? Nice use of stop-motion animation, but oh jee the visuals ruin it.

Gayming Logo - Selena Studios: There is no reason why this logo takes super long to finish. There are only three logos that are longer than this, and the only reason why this logo is long is due to the slow frame rate. Also, the freeze-frame for when the logo finishes is a complete waste of time. The music is just fine, nothing special/remarkable.

Dubbing Logo - Media Blasters (1st Logo): The CGI here sucks, for starters. The shading is too dark and the texture looks fake. Considering that this is a logo from 1997.... the CGI should've been better in my opinion. As well as that, the audio quality is trash and makes the logo ominous in some way. But let's not get in depth about how creepy the audio is. The audio is also basic, and the concept of the visuals is bad.

Adult Entertainment Logo - Enterprise Producciones S.A.: Much like the Vijayshri Pictures logo, only a singular logo is stolen, and the quality is much more frustrating.

Cinema Advertising Logo - Carlton Screen Advertising: Should this category even count? This is honestly the best logo to EVER be owned by Carlton. The only reason why I'm adding this logo here is because this is the only logo to be in the category.

Corporate Logo - ViacomCBS (1st Logo): Super basic logo with no resemblance of creativity.

Design Agency Logo - Klasky Csupo (5th Logo): Another basic logo that seems to be made with some Adobe program. The logo is overall choppy visually and cheap sound-terms.

Gambling Logo - Konami (1st Logo) (Is this an actual gambling logo?): It's just text. Expected for 1981, but can there at least be an actual design?

Religious/Non-Profit Logo - RTC leh Naupangte: Let's get the obvious Walt Disney Pictures 2006 logo look-alike fact out of the way. The visuals here seem rather depressing. Just imagine seeing a plain castle in the middle of a nuclear bomb test area like Area 51. Also, the CGI sucks and is not used in great potential for the concept unlike Media Blaster's 1st Logo. The text animates in a cheap fashion, and it uses Comic Sans MS, the worst font in existence. And don't get me started on the audio.

Television Identification - KUCB: Basically the Konami logo. All the ID consists of, realistically, is just text against a black background. I think you know where this is going. Into the boring category.

And that's everything I'm doing. I skipped some categories, but the list is too long so I'll leave the list here.

This logo from Beverly Hills Video Home Producciones. Why? Well, the company plagiarized the logo from Playhouse Video.

Fox Reality Original, to be exact. Also, is this even a good idea to put a screaming mouth in that logo?

If there's one thing that makes logos worse, it's logos without the company name. Like the logo for the Department of Information and Broadcasting (a.k.a. Royal Nepal Film Corporation)

Hard to pick one. So many bad ones.

Very confusing. Why the eye towards the screen and the loud chanting?

Team Happy Rainbow Panda Bears

Shock value. Enough said.

I'm blown away by how lazy this logo is. Who thought using the two logos from the United States was a good idea? The animation is so average and don't get me started on the yellow scrolling text.
