It's Friday, you're beat, probably slacking off a bit at the office today (it's ok, I won't tell anyone).

It's a grind for sure. If I really wanted to I could make us all more depressed about work by running some charts showing corporate profits continuing to reach new all-time highs, while wages and median family incomes remain at about 1983 levels. 

But I won't bum you out about that today. It's almost the weekend.

Instead, I want you to have a laugh or two courtesy of Honest Slogans, an amazingly simple and funny site that re-imagines many of the most famous and iconic corporate logos and taglines with what people really think about the companies and brands.

I will embed a few of these 'fake but ring pretty true' logos below, but you really should head over to Honest Slogans and have some chuckles do some competitive research.

I have to lead with what is seemingly every HR and Talent Pro's favorite company, LinkedIn:

 

How about a blast from the past but is still, shockingly still breathing, The Yellow Pages:

 

And one more before I close up for the weekend. You know that Motel 6 will always 'leave the light on for you'. Did you ever wonder why?

Good stuff.

Have a great weekend all!
