Who has the worst logo?

[CTK]

DM- spot on about Cove, though I do fancy a handjob...
also any company that changes/updates their graphics are asking for trouble I reckon even if you are Merlin.
Loved the old DEAN graphics hate the slanty graphics tho

Never bought the products - logo makes them look cheap and heavy IMO. Sure they are great though, enough people like them!

Im in the anti-Kona camp.

Their jungle stuff looks so cheap. I'm sure they are good bikes (not my cup of tea mind) but I just wouldnt buy one cus the graphics are shockingly bad

Can't think of one personally but i have to say i really like the gothic marzochhi ones

Slightly off subject, but i thought that Identiti bikes were actually called Denim - bloke in LBS thought i was mental when i asked if he had any second hand Denim frames :roll: damit can't get pic on post. i need IT lessons

graphics

I agree with the opinions about GT and the new Merlin graphics. Quite often in the past I thought about trying out a GT and just hated their graphics so much that I never went through with it. I totally disagree about Seven though.

Have to disagree there, understated elegance is what they is and the feel and quality is fantastic. A lovely thing to own.

IF: cheap FAT housestyle copy

When I saw this topic the first to spring to mind was IF - for me really rubbish looking and a bit of a surprise because I think the Fat logo and graphics are really good.

All that said I've got an IF and love it so don't go being put off by logos/graphis etc. (apart from the recent Kona and Ellsworth that is).

Oh, and to contrast with Gus, I always like bands with graphics e.g. Lemond or, more particularly, Saronni's World Championship winning Colnago (see Shamus' for details).

I did not exactly mean to say one particular logo is alike, but they try to communicate the same. When I read trough a nowadays IF brochure it is like I am going trough a FAT catalogue of a decade ago.

On the other hand, if there is one company who should be allowed to copy FAT style, it should be IF


A company I have much respect for is 3D Racing. The 3D logo is not the main reason to allocate funds to the 3D Racing bicycles imo :roll: Still enough reason to go with Chris' rides though!

I am with Wu on the DeKerf logo (downtube decal), but would like to add to it that I wasn't a big fan of it back in the early 90s already. Awesome craftmanship make up A LOT for that of course!

And those awful Kona flowery, jungle like plant leaves pot plant logos. Plain ghastly.

Like this one? I put a potted plant in for you...

I agree with the Saracen-esque Merlin stickers but the worst has to be Surly. Getting mine redone myself. Fugly, " post modern " poo.
