Ooh, ooh. I have one to share! The infamous "Case" Fat Man With a Surfboard logo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Western_Reserve_University#Case_Western_Reserve_University_(1967%E2%80%93present) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Western_Reserve_Universit... Is it as bad as the Met's new logo? Probably not. Is it pretty objectionable, and universally maligned? Yeah, definitely. Anybody else got one to share for our shared schadenfreude?

> Fat Man With a Surfboard Wow, this took me a second but now it’s the only thing I can see. The 2020 MLB spring training hat logos were universally hated, but the Padres had a notably bad one: https://www.crossingbroad.com/2020/02/padres-changing-spring-training-caps-after-swastika-comparisons.html https://www.crossingbroad.com/2020/02/padres-changing-spring...

  It's a good luck charm.

Serious Pie, in Seattle: https://www.seriouspieseattle.com/ https://www.seriouspieseattle.com/ scroll down until you see the man with his penis on fire. It's on all their signs.

  Wow, I can’t unsee this now. I guess I can thank you for some regular humor in my life as I go walking now.

  I don't even understand what was supposed to be the intended interpretation. A man holding a tiny pizza on fire?

  Having your penis on fire seems like some pretty serious pie, so seems appropriate.

  But it's not so bad when your legs grow out of your neck, right?

> Fat Man With a Surfboard logo: Yeah, this new OUP logo looks great for a surf school too. Definitely a wave in the circle.

Academic logos are often awful. Take Roskilde University's logo, for instance: https://euclidnetwork.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/roskilde-university-ruc-18-logo.png https://euclidnetwork.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/roskilde... I used to call it "brain sponge" when I was a PhD student there. (I liked that university a lot, don't get me wrong, just talking about the logo).

  I'm sure many people called it Roadkill University with that logo.

Some therapists moved into an office in the same building my employer was in, and they had this logo on their sign [1]. I think it is supposed to represent two arms grasping each other, but that wasn't the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. [1] https://imgur.com/a/kXl5S36 https://imgur.com/a/kXl5S36
