What's the worst logo (on the dial)?

Share your opions! Maybe this might end up as a poll ๐Ÿ“ˆ?

I personally hate the modern Tissot logo. It was one of the reasons I got rid of my PRX. They got another logo they could use or they could use one of the good ones from yesteryears, but instead they just print TISSOT 1853 in the worlds most boring font.

What's your pick?

Not counting the horrible Ali and wish brands, many of which are down right offensive, my vote would be any logo Christopher Ward has tried.

Wait, you got rid of a watch because of a logo? ย A logo thatโ€™s not even on the watch itself? ย Huh.ย 

ยท

There are ton of mushroom brands with horrid logos and names, but as for mainstream watches.....Orient.ย

I prefer the old Breitling logo over the new one.

Old Logo:

Doesnโ€™t bother me, but I understand why I hear it a lot: The Islander Logo really gets tons of hate for the over-simplification and the โ€œwatch on a watchโ€ laziness.ย

I havenโ€™t found a logo that offends me, let alone annoys me. Itโ€™s someoneโ€™s personal choice for recognizing their hard earned business, who am i to judge how they want to represent their fascia.ย 

Unless someone decided to use this logo:

Then i might consider not getting their watch because of the logo.

TISSOT 1853 is the logo.. They have the T+ logo wich is better but is not the one on the dial. The watch was a bit too big also ๐Ÿ˜Š

Fair points.. But I actually got the watch. But the logo and writing on the dial is part of the design and I just didn't like it. I don't mind someone else LOVING it ๐Ÿ˜ Good for them ๐Ÿ’ช

Logos I donโ€™t mind. What really grinds my gears is all the other damned writing they think they have to put on the bottom.

Who cares to read any of it? Automatic? WR? Superlative Chronometre? Swiss Made???!!! I DONโ€™T GIVE A SHIT!!! PUT IT ON THE BACK AND LET ME ENJOY THE DAMN DIAL!

sorry for yelling, itโ€™s a hill Iโ€™m willing to die on.

Love my "new" watch and that's one of the reasons! Simple. It says "quartz" in the bottom portion, but that was an actual noveltie at the time.

What's with the Oriantal hate in this thread?ย 

Just kidding! I get it, but I don't think it's too bad. Not TISSOT 1853 level.

Iโ€™m with you here, this looks fine, almost everything theyโ€™ve done before though is a different story.ย

All Seiko logo esp thisโ€ฆ

Logos and names in general can be make-break things for my when making a decision. Its funny your example of the Tissot is what you shared - I donโ€™t honest mind the PRX, I just wish theyโ€™d get rid of the 1853... for me personally itโ€™s non-essential and does the exact opposite of what they are trying to achieve. I think one of the the more successful recent rebranding stories is Formex - I think itโ€™s taken their identity to another level. ๐Ÿค™

Oh, I kinda like the squale logo. ย I just think they need to choose either the fish logo or the text crown one. ย We don't need squale on the dial twice.

They're all bad but I just wish they would choose one and stick with it. ย At some point I think it could eventually become charming.

I donโ€™t get the hate on the Orient logo, theyโ€™ve had it since the early 60s. Now Seikoโ€ฆ they need to get back to their original logo from the 1920s. Below is their logo on my circa 1925 Seiko wall clock, the โ€˜Sโ€™ within a diamond scribed into a circle.

The fish is a shark wearing a crown that says lion. Cause the shark is the Lion of the seas. Squale is also the French word for shark

Viewing this logo is always followed by great disappointment for me.
