# Satirical Logo Consultations GenitalsOrNot.com Spots and Then Stops Humorously Bad Logo Designs By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-09-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bad-logo-design References: [adweek](http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/designer-created-service-help-brands-figure-out-if-their-logos-look-genitals-173570) & [genitalsornot](https://genitalsornot.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-roaster) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you), GenitalsOrNot.com's creator was inspired by a real event that saw him point out a risky image to one of his own clients. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Logo Design Critiques:** Opportunities for third-party logo design consultants to identify and eliminate potentially embarrassing or provocative logo designs. - **Humorous Branding Assessments:** Rise in satirical platforms and consultants providing funny and lighthearted evaluations of brand logos to prevent reputation damage. - **Preemptive Logo Design Audits:** Growing demand for preemptive logo design audits to ensure brands avoid negative publicity or ridicule due to poorly designed logos. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering logo design critique services to help businesses avoid brand-related embarrassment. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating humorous evaluation platforms for brands to assess the potential impact of their logos. - **Brand Consultancy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Providing preemptive logo design audits as part of brand consulting services to protect clients from negative associations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Logo Guessing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-logo.md) - [Accessible Brand Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-enough-logos.md) - [Creative Experiment Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worldsworstwebsitelol.md) - [Creative Frustration Outlets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punch-your-client.md) - [Cheeky Hygiene Company Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-clean-you-can-kiss-it.md) - [Drug-Themed April Fool's Gags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin.md) - [Celebratory Odd Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridiculous-design.md) - [Provocative AR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-so-happy-animals.md) - [Cosmetic Branding Design Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsexydesignchallenge.md)
