Designs at their best can make your brand memorable through catchy slogans and imagery. At their worst, however, they can make people remember your company for all the wrong reasons. The subreddit “Crappy Design” is a great example of how designs can go so very wrong, and leave a bad mark on your name.

Bored Panda has curated a new list of our favorite design fails from “Crappy Designs.” Sure these designers might have had good intentions, but where were their editors? Everything from animal sex on kids pajamas to subtle double entendres that an editor clearly missed, several people were clearly spaced out on the job. Scroll down below to see the complete list and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

How thoughtful - special seats for those who were reluctantly dragged to the game - but hate sport

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know the difference. All they know is that both bees and wasps sting. That critter looks like a yellow jacket, which is frequently mis-called a bee.

This is not a fluffy, fuzzy bumblebee... it looks more like a mean ol' wasp to me.

When you think about it this poster is kinda deep because who knows who they really are? You might think you're a bee but you're really a wasp.

It's so annoying how people keep blaming bees for the behavior of a*****e wasps, like yellowjackets... and more annoying that almost no one bothers to learn the difference.

Actually, there are many many types of bees that look like wasps or hornets. There are thousands of different species of bee in Northern America alone. Some of my favorite bees look like wasps, that aside, most wasps are actually as beneficial as bees and thrive on pollen in just the same way. If you want to fear a flyer reserve that fear for hornets. ^_^

Not a design fail. They say it like that on purpose. People have been laughing at those signs for decades.

It makes you wonder if the artist did this on purpose. "It will take them centuries to notice!"
