40 Redesigns That Are So Bad, People Had To Shame Them On This Online Community
Interview With Author
We get used to seeing big-name brands like Pringles or Warner Bros everywhere. Like it or not, we form deep and even emotional ties with their qualities, logos, and characteristics. So when these companies decide to shake things up and change their "face" with a great brand refresh, the public takes notice. And since the stakes are this high, an obvious step in the wrong direction fires up our inner critic and almost begs us to poke fun at the results.
The margin for error is thin when it comes to redesigns, but it’s not only brands that get impacted by the obvious flaws designers didn’t pick up from the start. From products to artwork to our favorite animated shows, some updates simply go awry. In fact, they have even inspired one subreddit to go on a quest to shed light on some of the most unfortunate ones.
Aptly titled 'Crappy Redesign', this online community prides itself on sharing only the cream-of-the-crop examples of terrible changes in our favorite brands — and they mercilessly shame them online. Below, we have gathered some of the best cases from the community to share with you all. So continue scrolling, upvote the ones you loved hating most and let us know what you think of them in the comments!
Psst! If you're in the mood for some more poor design madness, check out our earlier pieces here, here, and here.

Probably to save money. Printing in one colour is a lot cheaper than printing in four colours.

And in 10/15 years, we'll have the exact same list. Except the now new and redesigned logo will be considered better.

Sure, there are lots of ways how to screw things up even more.

I have so little emotional investment in corporate logo design that I can't even imagine giving a c**p about any of this. And yet, I scrolled the whole thing. I should probably get to work...

Waste waste waste a buck, mess the logo up. Verily horribly awfully wrong. Let traditions get lost in a snap!
