The old ebay logo was ugly as hell, so step in the right direction IMO. The latest Walmart logo is heinous. Friend said "it looks like a butthole" and that's all I've been able to see since.

There was discussion of this in another thread, but I still think Arby's blew this one.

"Slicing up freshness!" sounds like the slogan of a serial killer.

plus with the arby's thing the issue for me is that the hat is three-dimensional and rendered but the text logo is flat- what is their point? what's that about? is there some hat-as-signified / corporation-as-signifier thing going on? whatever semiotics, it mostly reminds me that a friend of mine had the theory that looking at the Arby's sign was bad luck- if we drove by certain stripmalls he would suddenly say, in a serious voice, "don't look at the hat"
Now in his honor I intone that warning everytime I see an Arby's.

to be honest he thought that the Arby's hat was a penis hidden in plain sight and it was probably just a case of "Schwanzangst"

Yahoo!'s old logo was no great shakes, and I realize they're not a top tier player in the internet world anymore, but surely they could've paid for better than this:

Judging from their Flickr redesign, you can rest assured that there is much, much worse to come, and that the worst of all will be the final selection.

I don't hate the Flickr redesign like some people do, but I admit there's a certain amount of fun in ragging on Yahoo.

This has to be one of the all-time worst - replacing a truly classic, industry-changing, universally recognized, spectacularly distinctive logo/signage with this generic, utterly forgettable POS....

those were actually incandescent light bulbs for many of the animated parts, which were U&K. The cost of keeping the signs lit is cited by the company as one reason they were removed.
An environmental disaster mind you, but it could be replicated nowadays using low-power LEDs for less than the fluorescent tubes in the new signs cost to run.
