Description: For a logo comp. Phendra is a consulting company that focuses on helping internet startup’s with online strategy for user growth. This initial version is Escher inspired and I was accused of 'stealing' this idea (http://www.logolounge.com/wd/uploads/408_pm2.jpg)in the comp's posting. I like to hear your thoughts.

This is much better! (Retracting my previous drunken statements!)

My question is this: If you know that something similiar to this exists? Why design yours in the same fashion? Why not work towards something unique? Are you saying the other idea came after yours?

Look, no ill feelings towards you Bart. Like I said, it was more of a slap in the face comin from you thats all. If it was unintentional I'm cool with that. I can take any criticsm good or bad but when accused of 'stealing', that just boiled my blood abit. Like I said, your work is top notch and if it was said in an unsobered frame of mind, I think I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Cheers pal. Now Craven, to answer your question simply, I DIDN"T know there was something similar existed. I might have an ounce of feeling that the 'style' (Escher) light be around other designs but had I realised that the Paradox logo had incorporated the same style into the alphabet 'P', I gaurantee you I would have steered well clear of it. There was a progression to this design, not one that was drummed up instantly. Cheers mate.

All this fussin and feudin...lets all hold hands and sing 'we are the world' altogether now. Looks great Chan...but I think a better choice of typeface can be used..no disrespect to Aldo. I just feel it doesnt belong to the mark..where a more swiss based style would.

Thanks Paul. Problem is, I can't sing to save my life ;) You're probably right about the type choice. I too have had enough of 'Aldo'. We'll see what happens. Thanks pal.

No problems Chan (we'll put you on percussions)...having a look at your showcase, very, very impressive, you have some tasty work there. What ever happened in the end with Cummins Corp?

An eye candy right here! Way to go! ; )

Thanks again Paul. In regards with Cumminscorp, since the pitch I have not heard from them yet but they did say it will take awhile. Will keep everyone updated as soon as I hear from them. Thanks for asking bro. Thanks Art. Congrats on a marvellous showcase.

Hey Chanp, I'm returning the compliment, I love your showcase, just beautiful. Cheers

love this logo! The mark totally communicates the tagline. Great use of "MC Escher" perspective. Great typography. Super impressive showcase! Nice work Chanpion.
