A six year-old designer

I thought I’d post this here and see if I can’t get a few reactions.

Part of it was designed by the company’s CEO’s six year-old daughter. (I’m guessing she did the computer).

It was submitted as the worst logo ever and featured on the front page of Digg (http://www.digg.com/design/The_Worst_Logo_EVER) today.

I actually don’t mind it; it’s nice to see a more artistic approach to the static and cold designs of computer based logos. (I might have used a yellow background instead of a pink one though.) At least it’s not a web 2.0 style!

I like the 6-year-old’s computer rendering a LOT better than the snooze of a font.

and how about “no” background —

and in full agreement with Patty - change that type please - the computer is kind of refreshing - way different than the average clip art computer companies have been getting away with for years....

P.S. How could the owner turn down their 6-year old? Also — it may be considered the worst logo by some - but look at all the attention it is getting!

How could the owner turn down their 6-year old? ~you can’t!

I’m not familiar with the company itself, but have heard good things about their products.

I think the logo’s better than most, and it does symbolize the company (they’re a software solutions company.) well.

Heh. What a story. This logo is not the worst ever. Not by a long shot.

The image is too complex and the colors are questionable at best, particularly in the screen, but the computer is not bad; very distinct. I agree with Patty 100% about the font and Jackie about the background.

This reminds me of a documentary coming out that I’m eager to see. It’s called My Kid Could Paint That.

I’m sorry but that computer could have been drawn by a five year old!

It appears that it was a great logo until someone other than the 6-year old began messing with it.

That satement could be applied to so many things . . .

“It appears that it was a great _________ until someone older than a 6-year old began messing with it.”
