Oh dear, that is bad.

I always thought the logo for the excellent beer from the Trappist abbey of Westmalle in Belgium was questionable given the strict vows taken by the monks of silence, poverty and... celibacy. It's the one on the left on the second row.

That is SO dodgy - I can't believe anyone hasn't seen how it looks and demanded it be changed! Even without the word 'pediatric' next to it, you're going to wonder what the hell it's meant to represent.
 
Some committee somewhere must have given it the ok. The salesman from the logo design company earned his bonus the day they agreed to that design.
 
Managed to get one stopped in multi cultural Leicester of all inappropriate places. It involved some joint effort of the City, and County Councils with the TEC I believe it was, in some unholy 'partnership' triumphrate. Basically it revolved around having 3 inverted capital L's radiating out at 120 degrees. They even topped it off, by putting the L's in black, on a white circle, (some desperate symbolic multi cultural angle) and ultimately a red background (the then corprorate colour) to support the white circle.

"Bloody hell" I said, as soon as I saw it, "It's the same as the AWB". You could see the jaws drop of those who got the reference straight away, and equally the look of bewilderment on the face of those who didn't. Suffice to say, it was shelved within about 10 seconds, with a degree of more than mild embarrassment that it ever made it to the table.
