Two great guides to social media and logo failures

Posted on October 8, 2010 by Constantine von Hoffman

Came across these on the Twitternet the other day and loved both.

The first is by Intelligence in Social Media and it’s a must watch:

 

The second is from the always-great AdFreak and, inspired by the recent horrible redo of The Gap’s logo, it’s a look at 30 other graphic failures.

Football team blames logo for 70-0 loss

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Constantine von Hoffman

The Idaho State Vandals football team is “dumping the letter “I” from the buttocks region of players’ new pants following a season-opening 70-0 loss to the Arizona Wildcats.” The buttocks region? Actually there was a small version of the logo at left that was literally over the anus on the pants. In no other sport but football would it have even been noticed.

BTW, that headline is an out and out falsehood. They had logo issues before the loss … but I couldn’t resist.
