The recent trend of changing logos into a commentary continues, but this one has expanded to a variety of brands instead of focusing only on websites.
The pictures are called “Honest Logos” by Viktor Hertz and can be found on his website for Designers Couch.
Hertz introduces the logos with a short blurb. “An idea for a series with honest logos, revealing the actual content of the company, what they really should be called. Some are cheap, some might be a bit funny, some will maybe be brilliant. I don’t know,” he says in summary of the collection.
What do you think of Hertz’s “Honest Logos”? Do you find them cheap or brilliant? Which one is the most accurate, which one is the least?

I only recognize like half of these. Are some of them alcohol-related and thus American? That would probably be why. Also, I don’t agree with the last two pictures: IMDB is just a great place to see what films/tv shows your fave actors have been in (the trivia is not really all that interesting, and the boards are often full of trolls, so it’s not like those features make it any different than any other website). And Windows works just fine. It’s not the OS that will stop working properly, it’s the hardware. My last laptop would have lasted had I not continuously dropped it over and over again, once dropping it on a plate (and it broke the plate… but not the laptop!). I had the same issue with my old iPod before it got replaced for free (yay warranties), because I kept dropping it the thing stopped working properly. And I’m betting it was actually a hardware AND software problem, unlike my Windows computer that only crapped out on the hardware. And all computers are pretty well made with the same type of hardware. PC = personal computer, and it’s not like the basic hardware is magical for Apple PCs and cardboard for other PCs.
