The name, the hideous typography, the 80’s design elements, (there’s even a smiley face), the sheer fucking cost of tricking up this melangeration of worsts, not a cent of which seem seem to have been paid to an actual graphic designer. Or maybe it was? No I can’t see anyone using that font. All these elements perturbed WAtching’s fork flogging brow. And I’m not even 100% sure it is a furniture removal company. Grandma move house? Are grandmas your demographic or your workforce? Wayne, please drop us a comment about your services. Glad to give you a plug if you can shed some light on the design chain – from bare truck to…to this.

The Worst of Perth 
The ‘household’ objects being moved are particularly outre. The fridge appears to be quite modern, but they’re also keeping their vintage CRT screens, some movie film and clapper, and … erm … the Chrysler Building.

Exactly. A CRT showing the test pattern. An old “Acid House ” prop. The “Jetsons” fridge. The removalists moving a childs rendition of a house?
Without doubt the worst graphic design I have ever seen, and it would have cost a packet. Every time I see it all I can think is “money laundering.”

I think you’ve all got it wrong. This truck is a masterpiece -it just goes on giving in a way that only great art can. There is so much here I can’t stop looking at it. “Grandma move House” is that a comment or an order? And why does grandma have to move house? It’s pitiful that at her age she has to suffer the indignity of having her worldly goods placed out on tiles that are deliberately highly polished with the intent to cause her to fall and break a hip. As if this wasn’t enough – I can’t believe that no one else has commented on the series of rectangular alien craft zoning in from the East. Are they coming for granny or for Wayne? The use of perspective, light, colour what can I say? The artist has taken a quantum leap from the established safety of text book design and has created a work reminiscent of Don van Vliet, Boulet or Yamashta.

This just in from one of my correspondents:
There must be an unofficial contesst going on between removalists over who can have the worst graphics on their van. I saw a moving van yesterday with a cartoon picture on the side of two removalists straining to lift a couch with a fat blonde woman sitting on it accompanied by the slogan “if it has to be moved we’ll move it”. It hardly matches the aleatory beauty of Grandma’s Moving House or whatever it was, but it was a bit out there nonetheless!
