<p>Logos are a great way to help potential customers tell a reputable well-established company from one run part-time in someone&#8217;s basement. Business people know this, and that&#8217;s why good designers get paid good money for their design skills, while bad ones languish on pirated copies of Photoshop. </p>
<p>But if you manage to sell someone on your design capabilities, there&#8217;s still a chance you could gain notoriety, even if your design skills are absent. Your logo might end up on <a href="http://www.yourlogomakesmebarf.com/" target="_blank">Yourlogomakesmebarf.com</a>, a website dedicated to showcasing the most awesomely bad logos ever created to represent real, live companies. All the greatest amateur mistakes are here: MS Paint logos, illegible type, retina-burning color choices, logos that could not possibly hope to be reproduced in real world applications, etc.</p>
<p>Also check out their <a href="http://www.yourlogomakesmebarf.com/2009/03/the-instant-oval-logo-maker/" target="_blank">Instant Oval Logo Maker</a>, a surefire way to make a great logo that will be forgotten the instant it&#8217;s out of sight.</p>
<p><em>Thanks, Chris!</em></p>
