News·Posted on Mar. 9, 2018Ontario’s Government Pot Stores Are Trying To Suck All The Fun Out Of WeedNothing fun here!by Lauren StrapagielBuzzFeed StaffLinkFacebookPinterestTwitterMail Ontario has announced the name and logo for its upcoming weed shops and it's even duller than you imagined. It looks like something slapped together in Microsoft Word. Bryan Wood @itsWoodrow The logo for "Ontario Cannabis Store" which is where you'll buy weed in Ontario looks like a front for a business that used microsoft word to put something together. https://t.co/NffTRredTl 07:28 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite Although since it was the government, it probably went through dozens of rounds of consultations and proposals and hemming and hawing before being slapped together in Word. In fairness it could have also been made in Powerpoint. Seb FoxAllen @purpledocket pleased to debut my proposal for the new ontario cannabis store logo 06:19 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite It's a touch disappointing given the source material. your friend john @johnsemley3000 annoyed that the Ontario Cannabis Store logo doesn't include a string of dancing grateful dead bears and an alien in a cat-in-the-hat hat saying "take me to your provincially authorized dealer" while devil stix-ing. 06:44 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite It's the No Name of drugs. Chris Bellissimo @cbelliss The Ontario Cannabis Store seems to have taken a branding lesson from the one and only No Name. 07:31 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite Like, we get it, you don't want anyone to think drugs are fun.

Ryan @NorthTomorrows "I was going to go buy some legal cannabis but the logo for the Ontario Cannabis Store is trite and boring, so now I'm not going to" - literally no one ever. 07:26 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite There's certainly room for improvement.

Mike Beauvais @MikeBeauvais I dunno, everybody is saying the Ontario Cannabis Store logo is boring, but if you flip it 90 degrees to the right, you can turn it into a fancy little cowboy on a saddle. #onpoli https://t.co/dvIVWd1myu 06:42 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite We just need to, like, expand our thinking, man. Matthew Ritchie @MatthewERitchie Sure, the Ontario Cannabis Store logo LOOKS boring. But have you ever tried syncing it to 'Dark Side of the Moon'? 06:59 PM - 09 Mar 2018 Reply Retweet Favorite
