How many times, looking, for example, at the logos of Nike, Adidas or Apple, have we asked ourselves just one question: “Well, couldn’t we have drawn such a simple logo ourselves?” If yes, then let's move on reading. If not, we still move on. How many times have we read the news that some famous design studio redesigned the next big corporate logo for a check with an obscene number of zeros, and in the end just made the font thinner or simply reduced the distance between some details?

And so, every time we read such news, we come across dozens, if not hundreds of comments that the designers simply scammed their clients for money, but actually nothing in the logo has changed. In fact, as is often the case, things are not so clear cut.

Firstly, the famous swoosh was most likely a manifestation of spontaneous genius insight (for which, however, they paid only 35 bucks), and the original version of the Apple logo was complex, artsy and as old-school as possible. Secondly, any change in the logo in a large company is preceded by a long and thorough marketing analysis. Yes, sometimes it turns out a complete fail, as was the case with the 2012 Summer Olympics logo, but more often than not, the idea of saving on logo design doesn't justify itself at all.

Do you want proof? Voila! As many as 47 examples collected by Bored Panda, when the designer just drew something, the marketing manager was either absent or did not think at all, and the boss approved the logo without looking. And the result is what we have - this incredible selection of logos from around the world, on the one hand, beautiful and stylish - but completely inappropriate, you just have to look at it from a different angle. So please feel free to think different, as Steve Jobs once urged us, scroll this selection to the very end, and just enjoy these absolute masterpieces of human short-sightedness.

I just recently read an article about restaurant patrons having to get their stomachs pumped because a server served them what looked like a bottle of juice but was actually a bottle of disinfectant. Maybe cleaning products manufacturers should go back to using the tried and true bleach bottle design.

There have been many poisonings from this product line. The pretty, bright, colors and the bottles looking like beverage containers is a real problem. There are children and adults that can't read that grab grocery products just by the pictures on the containers that have been poisoned.

I seem to recall a big lawsuit over this, specifically because their products (which come in several different colors) clearly come in beverage containers but weren't clearly labeled as [not beverages] (this one is clearly labeled, but when they first hit the market they weren't).
