MUCIZE KURUYEMIS FINDIK !


"Miracle Nut: HAZELNUT" A bountiful field of hazelnuts with a sickening green text, oh wait, no no! let's also add a small window with a photo of someone picking a hazelnut to show just how fresh they are!

NEXUS (UNISEX) WRISTBAND


Ok first of all what the hell is a uni-sex wrist band? The company Logo is hideous, and the thing taking up the most space (i.e. the most important thing) is not the product but rather some pornstar turkish Power-Ranger (oh yeah, "wrist band" is squeezed in really small at the bottom). It kind of makes me think this is a wrist-band for chronic masturbaters.

HASAN INGEC


Need I say anything really? The character spacing/colour/placement of this candidates name is the icing on the baklava.

REMAX REAL ESTATE


REMAX REAL ESTATE

At first glance you would be forgiven for thinking this was a business card for some kind of Dutch Ballooning Club. The info is boringly placed, and hard to access (i.e. not clear), words squeezed in, leaving big, ghastly bits of space. I don't understand what function the diagonal line in the ReMax logo serves.

SEBO BÖREK



Ok: why the hell is 'murat' repeated a million times on this paper bag? My theory is that the designer wanted to emulate McDonald's success by featuring the owner's name on the product, and on that basis decided that more repetitions of the name will probably result in more sales.

CHILD FRIENDLY DEATH!


I REALLY hate this skull. Not only because of how utterly stupid it looks, but also because it's probably going to replace all of the hundreds of different, way cooler skulls out there as the standard required "Danger Of Death" sign placed on electricity boxes throughout Turkey.

That wry smile (a smiling skull on an electricity box?), the kids balloon head with this giant, comedic, keyhole nose, like a hole in the middle of its face.....not to mention those eyes.... seriously.... I mean, can you imagine the face attached to that skull ? This is just a perfect example of goofy meeting ugly - resulting in the ridiculous.

BENIGN GIRL!


BENIGN GIRL

I'm not sure if this one was made in Turkey (I think it might be Chinese), but the fact that you are selling a toy phone to little Turkish girls and the phone is called... "BENIGN GIRL"... well... that's just pretty amazing.

NATÜREL MÜZIK




NATÜREL MÜZIK

If you want to get the 'natural' idea across (presumably this means that their instruments are 'natural' or something?) red is probably a bad choice. Shades of green, blue or maybe some earth tones... these are natural colours. When you find red in nature it usually means 'DANGER!' 'WARNING!', 'DON'T TOUCH' or 'HAZARDOUS!' so hardly the kind of connotation you want to have if you are actually trying to get people to come into your shop. Also, slapping a notation symbol on top of a picture of planet earth is seriously unimaginative and a lazy way of combining the two themes of "natural" and "music".
