Some design fails make you pause and squint.
These don’t. These are loud. Bold. Chaotic. The kind of choices that make you wonder if someone hit “submit” by accident—or just really wanted to watch the world burn in Comic Sans.
Pulled from the never-ending treasure chest that is r/CrappyDesign, this batch includes everything from signage that leads to nowhere to product packaging that makes you question reality. Whether it was a rush job or a cry for help, we may never know—but we’re glad someone snapped a photo.
Because sometimes bad design isn’t just bad—it’s accidentally perfect.
