Designs at their best can make your brand memorable through catchy slogans and imagery. At their worst, however, they can make people remember your company for all the wrong reasons. The subreddit “Crappy Design” is a great example of how designs can go so very wrong, and leave a bad mark on your name.

Bored Panda has curated a new list of our favorite design fails from “Crappy Designs.” Sure these designers might have had good intentions, but where were their editors? Everything from animal sex on kids pajamas to subtle double entendres that an editor clearly missed, several people were clearly spaced out on the job. Scroll down below to see the complete list and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

Why do they not want robots to buy cars? What are they afraid of? If this is the only thing that is stopping robots from buying them, what will happen when they learn to check boxes? We need to a find a way to save ourselves.

Can a talented illustrator draw a cartoon of a robot, sitting at a computer, encountering the standard captcha, with a small tear rolling down his cheek?

Sadly this shows how intrusive social media has infiltrated the English language. People can't write, punctuate, spell anymore without spell check and auto correct.
