12 stores with the absolute worst names.

So bad they're great!

Rule #6: Don't highlight the national obesity epidemic when naming your restaurant

We all know that we should have better dieting habits, just don't bring it up when trying to sell food

.

Oh theres an accent mark over the U, I thought for a second it ment something else. 



Rule #7: Funny or confusing names are ok, as long as they involve animals.

 

"Sir, your cat has a blown gasket, that will be $260.00 with parts and labor" 



Rule #8: Make sure when translating your store name its not horribly offensive or detrimental to business

Were getting off on the wrong foot and I didn't even come inside yet 

 

When designing something, typically, you go through a few wrong ones before you find one thats right.  So it stans to reason when looking for a wrong one you may have 3 or 4 right ones. 

 



Rule #9: Your store name shouldn't suggest there's a better alternative elsewhere

Why settle for good Chinese food when you can have OK Chinese food?



Rule #10: Choose the right font for your signage

 

The wrong font can change the whole meaning of things. 



Rule #11: Proper maintenance on your signage is also very important

 

A pesky bulb or two out can send customers running for the hills (That dumpster in the front of the place doesn't help either, I'm sure)



Rule #12: Choose a memorable name, it will help with word of mouth advertising!

 

Good luck finding this guy on yelp!
