Worst Logo Ever?

This logo was designed in 1973 for the Catholic Church's Archdiocesan Youth Commission (the country isn't mentioned by I assume it's either the US or possibly Canada.)

Is that a small child? No he's a goblin!

Oh poor poor Mr Douglas! He'll never shake this off ... Funny, he doesn't look very Nigerian ...

My new friend: Mr Douglas

Got a notification from MySpace that some guy called Mr Douglas wants to be my friend ... Apparently he's on the board of directors of some Scottish bank (I thought they all went belly-up?) How he got my name or WTF he wants to be my friend for I haven't the foggiest ...

But also in my inbox was this gem from the bird on the right:

Hello, my friend! You can lend me 80,000 U.S. dollars it? How ridiculous it sounds, I never thought this would be a strange way to borrow money from foreign friends, my business had a loss of money, in the platform for the friends I really just try to borrow money, you will do when a joke. I was doing the business of railway equipment, and loss of money I do not own the business, but investment in other business friends, if you help me, I will also part of the money each year to you, I have a small shop, there are 60,000 annual income can be also a part of, can only explain so, I will seek God as their own a! then that I in money, not cheat, I need the money is also part of the debt, but also with the money to re-do a good job in the business! believe that God can prove what I have said is the truth! I am Chinese, but my English well, I have the ID card. my phone 13806782468

A perfect match!

The bit I liked was "in the platform for the friends I really just try to borrow money, you will do when a joke. I was doing the business of railway equipment" Don't need any steam engines right now, thanks ... But maybe in Scotland?
