At a very young age, I thought the saints logo/fleur de lis was a peeled banana.

That’s the only thing I saw in the Expos logo



That logo (and name) has always been and will always be a major fail.

It's supposed to be a stylized "M" with a lower case "e" on the left and a lower case "b" on the right, ostensibly for expos baseball Montreal.

But it's so badly rendered that people couldn't figure it out.

Plus if you break the lines down with a ruler, it's not properly balanced, lines that should be parallel are not, and spacing is uneven.

Finally, who the heck names a team for a world's fair they held a few years prior? Apparently French-speaking Candians do. They later named an NASL soccer team the Montreal Olympique, since they were going to hold the Olympics there in 1976:


That team folded before the 1976 Olympics ever occurred.

It not just US based companies that make bad marketing choices. Locum is a Swedish property management company.

It’s still a running joke with my family at 50 that I also thought the KFC logo was his whole body. I called him the little fried chicken man.

Glad it wasn’t just me.

As a kid I wondered what the connection between Purina and chess/checkers was.

As a kid I didn't even see the face. I just thought it was an eagle.

Purina is a pet/animal feed mill outfit. Mill in Gonzales (Tx) had the checkerboard logo on the side of it.

Kind of similar to the Col. Sanders stick figure body, my daughter admitted on our last road trip that she always thought the Buc-ee's beaver was his whole body, like the little flaps under his head were his feet!

Now I can't see it any other way, and it's a weird fricking monster now to me. Thanks daughter!

When I was growing up it was said the Red Dog Beer logo upside down always had an ‘easter egg’ of spider-man feasting between the hedges

Mine are both sports related

The old red white and blue “M” Montreal Expos logo said “elb”

Also the Atlanta Hawks logo I didn’t see it as a hawk with a circle around it, I saw it as kind of like a deformed Pac-Man with a little misshapen dot by the top of it
