Bahamas Unlimited Round 2

By Kevin Bracken

The Islands of the Bahamas marketing department has finally exacted its revenge on Toronto Unlimited by wrapping two Queen streetcars with The Bahamas’ inarguably similar, yet chronologically earlier design.

Torontoist has been stalking the elusive Bahamas streetcar all week.

    I think you mean “…inarguably superior…” because it is.
    Now you’ve made me mad again. I really hate that Toronto Unlimited logo. It pains me to see it. And I’m a graphic designer, so it really pains me to know someone got paid for that crap.

    BARF.
    Toronto or Bahamas – both logos are horrible.
    When will this embarassing work disappear forever?

    Damn! I was going to say that.

    Wow. I agree with that too. Get outta my brain!

    How about that stupid ice cream logo from the summer… I can’t believe it was a contest winner– by OCAD design students no less. Were the other entries somehow worse??! (If I had entered and lost, however, it would be one of the few times “the judges are blind” excuse could come across as truth and not sour grapes)

    I was thinking about exactly that OCAD thing too.
    Those did not deserve to be blown up on a billboard. The idea was ok on a small scale, but the execution was very sloppy.
    Though, to be fair, since I now go there, I can tell you that we are kept VERY, VERY busy – if some dumb contest came around, working on it would not be my priority – I would have slapped something crappy together too.
