In "Out & About Magazine," (the logo for which has unfortunately awkward letter spacing and tensioned-filled overlaps... it's a shame because their ampersand is really nice), I found these two ads on one page:
In looking at the Stone Balloon's logo, I was reminded of Robyn's opinion of Home Grown's Logo, because it doesn't quite do justice to the really well designed interior. Plus, the Stone Balloon logo is stretched vertically in the ad (you can see it in the grapes) which detracts from the professional and well-thought-out appearance the restaurant is striving for.
Below that is an ad for a "Graphic Web Design" company that isn't working. There are three entirely separate elements: the sharpie-esque writing, the eye, and the grey rectangle. Especially for a design company, this logo could do major damage to their reputation and hinder their gaining new clients.
Now, here's the good:
I bought a snack/protein bar the other day from a company called "Kind Snacks"
https://kindsnacks.com/ Though I don't love the rainbow motif, the layout is clean, clear, and logical. All the important aspects/distinguishing characteristics of their company are listed right on the front, drawing you in, and then continue to the back of the wrapper, creating a physical representation of just how many things make them special... you literally have to rotate the product to see the whole list. It's also great because I follow a vegan diet and all the major details I look for are right on the front of the package in white letters against a solid black background, not in small print hidden under a flap of plastic.
