I blame the internet, but there seems to be a serious rise of 'visual puns' and people immediately assuming that they must amazing pieces of design because 'OMG look it's a cat, but it's also a ball of yarn!' with this logo, for example.
I personally despise this kind of design work and think it's an insult to people's intelligence... but am I being too harsh? What's the word on the street?
The Paris 2024 logo, that's often making its rounds on subreddits like r/DesignPorn, is another one that makes me want to hurl when people parrot 'WOW, IT'S LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER, BUT ALSO A 2 AND A 4! GEE, EVEN AN IDIOT LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND IT'.
Is this good design? Am I just being a dick? Discuss.
