Creepy Catholic Logo

This logo takes the cake. It was designed in 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission. It actually won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles, and later an AIGA award in 1975.

7. Ironic today

Probably mistakenly thought to be innocuous then.

(The scandals that have come out recently began a long time ago.)

6. That's from your 2009 perspective. Nobody would have thought of that at the time.

It was a different age and that is reflected in the design style itself.

13. But some would have thought of that, based on bitter experience.

It's only today that many of us who were not victimized think of that.

11. I remember that logo.

I liked it. And for what it's worth, when I think back to my relationships with various priests through high school, that logo supports fond memories.
