Monroe College and CUNY




Pr*tty
Sure their logo is bad. But I have to give props to Monroe's ads for consistently using clean, bold typography, and (mostly) clever writing.

Sh*tty
CUNY on the other hand... You can't help but feel embarrassed for them.

  1. hmmm.... i disagree, to me both are shitty...

    i think monroe's logo is awful.... while the script is almost witty, the logo is so bad that all i can envision is monroe muffler, logos and colors are almost the same... are the 2 affiliated?

    and as far CUNY goes... i just think that their acronym is awful... its a battle they cant win... i mean, everytime i see or hear 'CUNY' i think it sounds sort of perverted. lol... plus i am just not a fan of generic faces in ads... stock boiler pics of target audiences. lame and unimaginiative.

  3. That totally looks like the "Arm Chair" guy (their graphic designer) from The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brian.
