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!

What's more concerning: The walls of glass or the complete absence of toilet paper?!

I was once in such toilet. When I locked the door, the wall turned white and you could not see out/in anymore... Don't know if this is the same kind of toilet...

Now are we sure that when the doors are closed they don't do that fancy thing like in the movies where they turn frosted? Maybe, just maybe they're really cool like that?

I had seen one in Europe, Amsterdam I guess. When some get inside and lock the door the window color(ness) changes into white and you don't see the one inside. But the scary part is if you are the one inside you see the ones in outside waiting. P.S. I did't use it just incase :)))

Many people do not have any problems to be naked in front of other people but peeing or pooping while other people are watching is a totally different thing.

I imagine that the glass is to avoid "water wars" with the showers, or being showered by accident when someone washes her/his butt but, how's about intimity?

Same concept. The beach bathrooms have no barriers. They say it's to discourage drug use, sex, sleeping, etc.

Not a design fail. They say it like that on purpose. People have been laughing at those signs for decades.
