Default When Good Logos Go Bad



Original Post Credit

The original post was made by afrojacks - videos, music, pictures, news, sports and the following text has been taken from their site :

In the 70s, this picture stood for God’s children. Now it just stands for boys giving priests a good ol beej. Yes, this is an actual logo designed in 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission. It even won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles.

Please go and visit Afrojacks if you wish to leave a comment, afterall, they found it not me, Im just a messenger.

How did that logo ever get out of the designers studio or even off his/her sketchpad, terrible and terribly funny... well executed though!
