20 Funny Honest Logos of Famous Brands

Commercial branding strategies reflect the foresight and worth of a brand. They earn it a perpetual recognition in the customers’ minds. It is important for a logo to reflect the true essence and message of a brand because that is what the customers begin to expect from it.

Yet most of the time, we find brands that do not live up to their claims. These are multinational companies which have millions of customers around the globe. Every passing day makes it easier to recognize the dishonest approach of these commercial firms who only focus and exaggerate on the positives.

3. Disney Channel = Very Cheesy Pictures

You can watch the same romantic fantasy stuff again and again. “Very cheesy” indeed.

They say video gaming is for idle people. Hence, it can rightly be tagged “nothing to do.”

5. Starbucks Coffee = Sugerbomb Combos

Starbucks coffee may be delicious, but most of their stuff is honestly “sugar bomb” at the nutrition level.

6. McDonald’s = McDiabetes

Junk food is harmful for health. McFood is beyond dangerous.

Brands such as Coca Cola have contributed a lot in promoting “commercialism.”

Films at highly selective geographical locations.
