The worst logo the Frau has ever seen


No. This is not a joke (it is April 2, people). It's just bad design. This is the logo for the Baden City Festival. Or at least, a sad excuse for a logo.

It really bugs the Frau because it's everywhere in Baden. On bus wraps. On posters. In her mind (She works in advertising so please excuse her, she's a little strange and these kind of things drive her crazy all the time).

But never this crazy.

Help. Can someone please explain why you would hyphenate the word "Baden" as "Ba-
den?" After all, for German, it's a very short word and there is plenty of room to write the five letters in the second line of this logo.

The only saving grace for the Frau? They are not calling the festival "Badenfahrt" like they did in 2007. (If you're wondering, yes, they had t-shirts with "Baden" on the front and "Fahrt" on the back. The Frau regrets not buying one, but she barely survived the festival due to living directly above the rock and pop stage which featured "famous" Swiss rappers sharing their art until 5 a.m. for 10 days straight.)

And now the city wants her to buy a Stadtfest Ba-
den festival pin for CHF 40. With this logo on it. For the pleasure of not being able to sleep for 10 days. Oh, the joy that is Switzerland sometimes.

Is it just the Frau being overly sensitive? What do you think of this logo?

The mind boggles! Switzerland hasn't morphed into a third world country, has it?

Chantal said...

Ha, ha. Well, with this logo you could make that argument.

Please supplement charge before use when the battery has been kept for a long time.
However, it is still possible to insect the
terminals and make sure there is no corrosion. Rechargeable batteries last longer than single use batteries before disposal and reduce the number of batteries
you buy.

Then a splash screen that is not present on the purchased version "nags"
for several seconds, and the background from the
desktop is displayed on the laptop. There is an
opportunity for parents to offset the teacher: pupil ratio through practice at
home. In essence, they appreciated each other and never lost sight of how
lucky they felt to have each other as their spouse.
I don't want an strange voice to order me around. Many consumers worry about their security when making purchases over the internet. With the information provided by the GIS (Geographic Information System) for NDGPS use, drivers can be alerted to road congestion, road accidents and other possible hot spots. A low quality product may lose its shine in a few days or may simply get tarnished due to overuse or after coming in contact with water. I'm the kind who smokes and judges people' Vanda pretends to demonstrate a yoga pose with a cigarette in her hand' 'Whoa, THAT guy's out of
shape''. a far cry: a long way from. When you set out to influence another’s
feelings for you, are you not interfering with
that person’s free will.
