The most inappropriate logo design in the history of the world. Seriously.

Cathoiic Priest Boy Logo

This is an actual logo designed in 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission.

In fact, it won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles and is shown in the 1974 ADLA Awards Annual.

It can also be found in the Design Archives of AIGA, “the professional association for design.” We know it looks like a sick joke, but you can see it here for yourself.

We know the 70s were simpler times, gentler times, more innocent times. But for God’s sake, man, did no one in the Archdiocesan Youth Commission see anything wrong with this design? No one?

  • Oh I'm sorry for being serious there. I forgot our conservative arguments have to consist purey of laughable entertainment. I'll be sure to make my next ones twice as idiotic. Thanks. I almost lost sight of the conservative way.

  • I thought that was our conservative code? Stink up the whole place to outdue those damn liberals with their clean logic. Bahh! Logic. Just the word makes me cringe! Logic has nothing to do with the truth!

    • cont, think? No, you stink. Logic is well outside the purview of stinking liberal liars such as yourself, cont.

      • Yeah down with liberals! None of them have ever gotten any kind of education. None of them tested things for themselves! What does liberal mean anyway! Psh! Freedom?! That's for weak people! We conservatives work hard to keep ourselves on top! Our education is much more higher than them stinkin freedom lovers! Yeehaw!

        • ***None of them have ever gotten any kind of education. None of them tested things for themselves! What does liberal mean anyway!***

          Couldn't have said it better myself

          • Exactly! Skool don't exist for them! And we gotta keep doing what we're doing to keep it that way cause one day they might just figure us out! Then we gotta throw all our guns at them! Again!

  • How dare they award this picture! This is not good at all! I don't care that it's been 38 years since anybody really even used it since then besides this website and a couple more! We need to destroy these folk who made it and showed it off! (not including us of course cause we're fair and balanced)

          • I was the one getting head from you, come on! Don't you remember? Or did I go too hard and give you brain damage? Maybe that's why you ended up being a conservative.

          • The imaginary oral sex he just got from fantasizing about this logo is the best he's ever had. Well, other than from his blow-up doll. Even he resists sometimes.

          • Are you spying on my conservative ass? You mean you don't have a blow up doll? What are you some kind of liberal commie socialist? What?! You calling me gay?! How dare you?! Why are my questions going nowhere?! Oh yeah... Because I'm conservative.

          • twitchy mitch! Sneaking in on your belly again! Good to wipe my shoes on your spooged face again. You stink of rotting mackerel, as usual, you cont.

  • My Dad told me this story from his childhood... He asked permission to become an altar boy. My grandfather told him no. When my dad asked why, he was told something to the effect of, "you're too young to understand, but you'll thank me later."

  • You gotta be f*cking me!

    Rah! Got it? It's a joke! Fo real.

    Better than the obvious one: "this logo sucks"

    Sigh...
