Help me! Help me!




This is an example of a logo which would really need the help of a designer. I see it all the time but I've never realized how ugly it is! The fonts don't look very well together, it's not original and the colours are too bright to be together...

this one is just boring...and the colors seem akward..not sure why, but they seem to have no reason or purpose behind them...with the other signs and such, this is one of those incidents where they have too many typefaces in one location....

i think they could spruce it up with some imagery. At least the sign looks like they tried. i think it would look better if they moved the other signs to their windows or at least further away from their original sign.

Good point mellispinelli. All those other signs gathered around that main sign dont help the situation. My problem with the sign is that the typefaces dont really work too well together and by adding more signs you add more typefaces! The orange and blue color is just plain annoying to look at.

i think the designer of this sign was headed in the right direction by contrasting a simple typeface with a more decorative one...but the overall finished sign makes me cringe.
