Yesterday, McDonald's released a new Happy Meal logo.
Many customers criticized the logo for being too creepy.
But candy company Lemonhead's logo is way worse.
The Lemonhead is "shedding his 'little boy'" look," reports Cheryl V. Jackson at The Chicago Tribune.
The new mascot will be the voice of the Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. The new look will also appear on packaging.
The company told the Tribune that the new mascot is meant to attract 20 and 30-somethings to the brand.
Here's another look.

People shared their horror on Twitter.
What nightmares are made of “@Lemonhead: Hey pic.twitter.com/NICBOL83b5”

Lemonheads are jumping on the "let's terrify you at the genetic level" bandwagon with McDonalds with their new look. http://t.co/nDfr0brKy2

The McDonald's logo seems tame by comparison.
