It's better than 90 percent of the logos out there. I'm a graphic designer. Therefore, you have to trust me. If I was a pool doctor, you'd have to trust me regarding your pool. That's how life is.

What does that giant amoeba have to with being a pool doctor? Does he listen to what your pool bacteria are saying, like Dr. Doolittle? Or is that a hairy lima bean? And the guy is giving it a buzz cut with an electric razor powered by ear wax? That logo's too deep for me. I don’t understand. What does that giant amoeba have to with being a pool doctor?

Some of the others look like they wanted a logo that looks like a tattoo that makes them look like they work at Orange County Choppers.

It's cute, he's totally checking that baby pool's heartbeat and breathing. Personally, I would love to have such a caring man look after my pool if I had one. Unless he's a giant...Cause also, that water horizon line makes it look like he's a giant sea monster doctor whose brain is fueled by chlorine, and he's sucking all the water out of that pool, which is somehow the only inhabitant of that sparse, sandy island it's on.

I mean, yes, it is a cute, well done illustration, but it is not a LOGO. How the hell would you embroider this on a shirt? What does it look like on a business card or envelope? Can you reduce it down to an inch for reproduction purposes? For pure kitsch factor, sure. Other than that? No. Can any of you SEE this “logo”? Seriously.
