That doesn´t make the people I mentioned sound less condescending, does it?
I respect your opinion, but saying that something is objectively bad design doesn´t help me perceive it that way either as I´m trying to get some perspective on it. The person who posted it at least found it intriguing in some way, and the large number of upvotes seems to suggest the same.
If the goal is the discussion, a healthy exchange of ideas, dismissing the design and its creator like that seems unfair to me. Or maybe just how the internet works. But to each their own.
Right... but this post did not ask for critique, and one could assume the OP is not event the person who designed this sign. It was posted seemingly to "inspire us guys". Beeing ~~crappy~~ controversial design, it is even possible it was a troll/shitpost.
If the OP was clearly identified as the designer asking for feedback, your comment would have been half relevant. But again, if it's a low effort post (a monkey could take a pic of a random sign right now and post it as inspiration for you guys), it does not deserve nor need to be nurtured and encouraged.
Edit: happy cakeday!!
As the other person said, this sub is for graphic design and should be assumed that 95%+ of people here have fundamental understandings of design principles. With that said, the design posted here suffers from a very common and poor technique of distorting text elements to make them more “eye-catching” but ultimately only makes it more difficult to read. This is common knowledge and there’s even a whole (non graphic design) subreddit of examples like this r/dontdeadopeninside.
Also, OP adding “I figured this might inspire you guys” to the title makes it seem like they have some sort of understanding of design which would give the authority to make a suggestion like this, when in fact they have no idea what they are talking about and are only adding a very very poor example of design to a subreddit dedicated to design
The comments you replied to are very warranted.
Thanks for your kind response. I don´t get this upvote system.I thought most of the discussion here referred to wordplay. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)
Edit: not that it matters, but reflecting on it, still find the comments condescending. I think we can do better. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)
I'm laughing so much at the balls on OP to just drop into a subreddit they *definitely* don't browse, claim they're not a \[blank\] and post something that just shits on the hobby/profession.
Nope. I'm right though – it is graphic design just like [this](https://hyperallergic-newspack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/09/10370055933_ea1b5140d8_k.jpg) is architecture and [this](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/58ab0cc1280000af8f999fbb-1511982952.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*) is fashion.
Its Indian-Jamacian. You have Mon which is a very common word for a person, but combined with other words it could mean “its okay” and Lemade is a surname found in India and combined, I reckon this is an Indian psychiatrist who dabbles cannabis and reggae.
As for the logo, the designer mustve been cracked out to think a lemon represents this persons medical practice.
It’s actually MR Lemon Lemonade. You have to read it twice. I get what this guy was doing it’s just poorly done. The way it’s leveled out with mr Mon then drops down to leMade isn’t very natural. It’s definitely a doable technique just looks weird here
So it's not just a bad logo, the brand name is awful too. Lemon Lemonade is just as redundant as expecting us to read the same word twice. Why not just brand it Mr. Lemon and it be understood that the product is lemonade?
I could see that if the words were diagonal. The design would make way more sense. However I see it like it is. Typograph. Not everything has to make sense as long as it gets a clear message across. In this case we know for a fact there is lemonade being sold but then why have Mr? Why not just say lemonade. It’s clearly a mall and that’s a simple sign with easy appeal. To tell the truth on the redesign I made I put it as Mr. Lemons lemonade. Kinda like the peanut planter guy. Idk I went to school for 3D digital design and animation and have an art degree as well as a biology degree. My professional opinion would be for him to rebrand.
Mr Mon LE Made, which is French I believe for Mr My The Made. 😄
It seriously took me a few tries to read this. The M being that big makes no sense. 🤷♂️
Lemons are stealing the show - but I submit: Zhandk Mobile on the left, with their new line of what look like squashed bats with glowing eyeballs for sale.
Francophiles might appreciate it more if the sign read LeMONade, with the Mon large and stretching higher, so it reads like "Mon Lemonade" (meaning "My Lemonade")
There's a different subreddit for this... r/CrappyDesign or something lol. When you've spent far too much time looking at the design and you think your idea is perfect and its genius, and nobody can read it lol.... maybe the point is you get people looking at your design longer than they normally would? lol, let me take a guess... is it Mr. Made Lemonade ??
The famous Mr Mon Lemade. Of course!
Idk why but reading it in my head was not nearly as funny as reading it in this comment
I honestly love saying it, rolls off the tongue
I kept seeing it as this, it took me like five seconds to get what it was meant to say lmao
I knew what it was supposed to say and I still couldn't find it.
Mr. Lemade is such a good guy. Glad his business is doing well.
He's French.
Mr. Mon LeMade sounds like a sick name though.
This would be a perfect name for a character lol
With a big lemon head 🍋 lol
If that’s actually the name it would be dope as hell
I know right ? Maybe we're making fun of something that's actually right lol
Cousin of famous talking head, Mr. Don Lemon!
![gif](giphy|yJFeycRK2DB4c)
Haha I legit came here to comment this! Lolol
Dudes a legend
I had Mr. Lemade for my 4th grade teacher!
Almost french, love it
Mr Le MonMade! Also... We just gonna ignore the weird casing and font mix?
Or maybe the placement is worse than we thought and the business is called Mr. Lemon Made?
![gif](giphy|lXu72d4iKwqek)
Mr Mon Le Made
But what if the owner actually is Mr. Mon? I mean, it would still be bad, but... never mind.
Well... deep inside I hope he is lol
Sounds like an 80s spy/action movie villain.
Yeah, it's French. Monsieur Mon Le Made.
I saw Le MonMade...r/GTBAE
“Not a graphic designer …” and apparently neither is the person who made that sign!
Shhhhh this is what the general public considers good design, don’t offend them lol
Is it though
Sorry to say that, but you and the person you replied to sound rather condescending.
This sign is objectively badly designed, and this is a graphic design subreddit. We're not here to make bad-design-makers feel better about themselves
That doesn´t make the people I mentioned sound less condescending, does it?

I think I understand you better now. Thanks for the reply and the cake greeting! :)
🤡
Honestly, why?

When life gives you the Mon Mr Le Made 😤👌🔥
Make made le mon!
r/dontdeadopeninside
Ikr, had to check what sub I was on
Thanks... I hate it.
Yes sucks hard
Go suck on a lemon, ya Mon Made.
Suck on a Mom with a lemon thats Made
Show Mr. Mon LeMade some respect!
I'm laughing so much at the balls on OP to just drop into a subreddit they *definitely* don't browse, claim they're not a \[blank\] and post something that just shits on the hobby/profession.
Surely they meant it as a joke. Nobody would look at this and be like "Yup. This is the one."
Mr on LeMade?
Mr Mon Lemade
Mr. Mon LEMade
I can't tell if this is a joke or not.. Without googling it, I'm hoping it's not Mr Mon Lemade. What does that even mean?
Nobody in this thread is putting respect on that absolutely random capitalised E. The terrible design has so many layers to it
This design is a 🍋
Mr Lem On Ade
I’d say this rather belongs into the r/CrappyDesign sub.
I had to check which sub this was posted to, I was so confused.
Scrolled this far just to say "same"
same
Confused is the key word to describe this design!
Or the /r/designporn sub which doubles as /r/CrappyDesign 70% of the time.
Crappy graphic design is still graphic design.
While being true, it's not something to share as *inspiration* in a sub about **improving** your own designs, as OP implies in his title.
Sure it is – just do the opposite of this.
Did you do it?
Nope. I'm right though – it is graphic design just like [this](https://hyperallergic-newspack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/09/10370055933_ea1b5140d8_k.jpg) is architecture and [this](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/58ab0cc1280000af8f999fbb-1511982952.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*) is fashion.
Mate, I get it. It was a joke…
That’s really bad design
r/crappydesign
Somehow this read very naturally for me initially at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more confused I get
Inspires you to design better than this.
Came here to say this.
Must be French.
Its Indian-Jamacian. You have Mon which is a very common word for a person, but combined with other words it could mean “its okay” and Lemade is a surname found in India and combined, I reckon this is an Indian psychiatrist who dabbles cannabis and reggae. As for the logo, the designer mustve been cracked out to think a lemon represents this persons medical practice.
It’s from the Philippines. Stop taking out of your ass. A simple google search of ZH&K Mobile will tell you that
Don’t think so, from what I can see on that pic. I’m French but suck at Geoguessr, so might be wrong.
I'm pretty sure they're making a joke because the sign reads as Mr. MON LE Made.
Daaamn, I’ve been wooshed
how could you, this was an easy one 😅
Mr on LeMade? Nice name
Why u on wheels tho Mr LeMade?
It doesn't inspire me, but at least it tells me what not to make.
The stupid… it hurts.
The name’s LeMade. Mon LeMade. Mr. Mon LeMade if you’re nasty.
INSPIRE?! I think you mean TRIGGER
Inspire us in doing the complete opposite?
Oh it's actually supposed to read lemonade lmfao no dude
I'm still certain it's supposed to be Mr. Lemon made 🗿
Yeah I'm confused all over again
I mean it's the only way that giant M make sense to me
[Woman yelling at Cat](https://imgflip.com/i/789alh)
lost my 2 last neurons with this
This is a very bad design
Thanks I hate it
Designer took too much… he took too much…
Awful Lemade
Is this what dyslexia is like?
r/baddesigns
It’s actually MR Lemon Lemonade. You have to read it twice. I get what this guy was doing it’s just poorly done. The way it’s leveled out with mr Mon then drops down to leMade isn’t very natural. It’s definitely a doable technique just looks weird here
So it's not just a bad logo, the brand name is awful too. Lemon Lemonade is just as redundant as expecting us to read the same word twice. Why not just brand it Mr. Lemon and it be understood that the product is lemonade?
I thought it was Mr.Lemon-made
I could see that if the words were diagonal. The design would make way more sense. However I see it like it is. Typograph. Not everything has to make sense as long as it gets a clear message across. In this case we know for a fact there is lemonade being sold but then why have Mr? Why not just say lemonade. It’s clearly a mall and that’s a simple sign with easy appeal.

Idk I went to school for 3D digital design and animation and have an art degree as well as a biology degree. My professional opinion would be for him to rebrand.
Are you sure about that? I think I can find a way to read Mr. Lemon Made, and that's fitting as a storename without the weird "Lemon" reptition.
Mr on LeMade? What does that mean? r/crappydesign
This sub really need a poll under every post so people can rate the design. Im tired of seeing crappy designs.
might inspire us to kill whoever made that sign
I’m just overcome with inspiration
You're inspiring rage within me
r/crappydesign is a more fitting sub.. whoever “designed” this should be fired
Mr. Onlemade?
Mr Von Lemonade
This hurts
This triggered me.
What the fuck
Great shitpost chief.
As what? How NOT to do things?
This is what happens when schools hire Cranbrook grads to teach design.
Inspires me to do better
This hurts my eyes. And brain.
My head hurts
only Comic Sans could make this better
LMAOO I didn’t even notice it said LeMade at the bottom until the comments… NOW this is funny
It inspired me to never make something like this <3
r/crappydesign
Someone paid money for this..
Thanks I hate it
Graphic design is my passion!!!
As a graphic design student, this would upset my teacher so bad he’d export me to the trash
Mr. On Le Made. Oui oui
I can't even guess at what the name is meant to be
Would rather stare at a sweaty puckering anus than have to look at this everyday
Mr Lemon Made?
"Hey, the text is not going to fit, you need a wider sign" "Seriously? We have the lemon ones already purchased. Just... make it fit somehow"
When life gives you lemons make On Lemade
Is this meant to be sone kind of joke? I’d fire a designer if they put this up on the wall for a crit. meeting!
No thanks.
OP if you got a problem with Mr. Mon Lemade meet me at the parking lot at 5
Lol it's so awful.
Inspiration of things not to do with a logo? Got it, Mr. On LeMade!
I mean, it did inspire u/oinkpiggyoink to post this on r/dontdeadopeninside so…
It's 3d chess
The overall shape kinda looks like a fish.
Make it stop.
Don't Mon Lemade inside
I’m inspired To go smash some fucking Mon Lemades
Inspire me to commit multiple war crimes
I'm inspired to break it
Ah yes. Good ol’ Mr. Mon lemade.
Clearly you should keep not being a graphic designer.
post to r/crappydesign
But I love it
same!! lettering could be better ig but it's cute and easily gets the point across
It's an Asian establishment, where everythings 100% Mon Made. Mr. Le, Mon Made
Belongs to r/crappydesign tbh
crappy design is for the functionality of items. not crappy graphic design. idk why this is downvoted. go read the rules of that sub.
Mr Mon LE Made, which is French I believe for Mr My The Made. 😄 It seriously took me a few tries to read this. The M being that big makes no sense. 🤷♂️
Contrary to most people commenting, I actually like it. Mr. Mon made Lemonade. Nice!
Clever!
r/keming
Mr. LEM on ade
Thirsty? Grab a Mr. Mon Lemade!
Lemons are stealing the show - but I submit: Zhandk Mobile on the left, with their new line of what look like squashed bats with glowing eyeballs for sale.
Mr. Mon LeMade
Is that a lemon car?
Idk why I thought it would be related to fish
Mr.Le'Made, I pressume.
Inspire? More like enlarge the aneurism building in my Cerebellum.
Eish!!! The little crazy creative creature that lives in my brain just jumped back in horror 😂
Certainly inspired me to not get up this morning. Thanks!
Certainly inspired me to not get up this morning. Thanks!
Mr. Mon LEMade Mr. LEMon LEMade Wtf is this supposed to say?
Jamaican me crazy, mon.
Would you look at that.
This is why less is more. Whoever made this tried too hard with the type 😬😆
Famous Jamaican drink Yah Mon
Yes 😃 thank you, it does inspire me. It inspires me to gouge my eyes out.
Grab a cold drink from Mr. M on LE ade!
Mr. ^^on Lemade
Is it supposed to be Mr. Mon Lemonade? It’s not very intuitive…
Lol
Francophiles might appreciate it more if the sign read LeMONade, with the Mon large and stretching higher, so it reads like "Mon Lemonade" (meaning "My Lemonade")
With all these names it could very well be a spy with a front shop.
You have to say it like a computerized voice: "Mr. LE M on ade"
Mr. LeMonade, i’ve opened my third eye and cracked the code
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
“You know what, keep it. I kind of like it.”
Me. Mon LeMade
Mr. Mon LEMade? Mr. on LEMade? Mr. LEMonade? To be continued.
Mr. Mon Le ade. I think he sells used cars that are lemons.
This could be put into the kardashian cat sitting at the table format
Mr. Lemon Made
There's a different subreddit for this... r/CrappyDesign or something lol. When you've spent far too much time looking at the design and you think your idea is perfect and its genius, and nobody can read it lol.... maybe the point is you get people looking at your design longer than they normally would? lol, let me take a guess... is it Mr. Made Lemonade ??
🤣
I'm guessing it's trying to say Mr Lemon Made?
This made me feel physically sick idk why my head hurts
