Despite most companies having a few employees on the job, bad logo designs can often slip past when they're too focused on smaller details.
Playing on the idea that this has potential to lead to some rather provocative-looking results, designer Josh Mishell launched GenitalsOrNot.com. As the site's name makes clear, its purpose is to "take a look at your genitals so your customers don’t have to." With this, Josh Mishell claims to act a third party consultant who focuses on weeding out bad logo designs before it's too late and a company finds itself being ridiculed.
Although not actually available as a legitimate service, GenitalsOrNot.com's creator was inspired by a real event that saw him point out a risky image to one of his own clients.
