Discussion Bad Graphic Design

[Freight Train]

I once saw a tshirt with the Shutterstock watermark on it

you have no idea the amount of people at work who want fishing shirts or whatever made up and send me the images with the shutterstock watermarks on them.

And I'm assuming the pictures are lower quality than Esava Ratugolea's footy skills?

almost always.

then clients get shocked when their stuff prints out all grainy and pixilated, so I just tell them if they zoom in on their computer at full screen, and it looks s**thouse, that’s probably how it will print.

The AFL logo is squished in the AFL's own app now.

They're different colours as well, if you look at the red part. Just failed Corporate Identitiy 101.

Not so much graphic design and more proof reading

These 'mash-ups' are sh*t at the best of times, but how in the holy fu** does this happen when the 'mashed' pair are identical twins????

i miss ten seconds ago when i hadn’t seen this yet.

Surely it's a bit of a pisstake when they're doing it. Think a lot of the virality comes from the funny photo rather than the promotion itself

 

[Gibbsy]

It's genius marketing, everyone talks about them

if only there were triplets playing in the league so pointsbet could bring out this reference

These affiliations really suck.

I’m being harsh here, but there’s a random layer that’s accidentally been left on over the top of Collingwood’s name

Looks to be Sydney's percentage It's a sign!

I think Nike got the work experience kid to do this shop job.

Old power logo
Also it does not look right in that style idk
Maybe it's because Geelongs logo looks normal in that style im not sure

I dunno; a redundant see-through logo kind of fits the result really.

Can someone explain to me what’s wrong with this one?

Look at Sadio’s right hand. Then look at the shirt below and above it.

Also the logo on the shorts is hilariously badly aligned.

Not only a terrible design but also using a logo from 8 years after the event it’s supposedly commemorating. How these cowboys got an AFL license I’ll never know. Naive suckers will buy it though.

The brand was founded by Brandon Ellis, that's how they got an AFL license. Why anyone would want a watch with their footy team's logo on it is beyond me.

 

[DiamondGuy]

Exactly. Always better to go with Dayne Beams' signature.

Do you have to return the watch after a couple of months' use?

And get your $125 back? They are trying to market them as premium, Beams was "limited edition" sold out etc, and they're $125! I'd be surprised if you can get a Casio for that much these days.

Was a cheap gag at Collingwood not getting much value out of the Beams trade but eh!
