ddd said:I agree with onward design. Now I would not have been so accusatory with it. But the beauty of this open and broad format here. Is you get a good sampling of various sets of eyes and experiences. I post here mainly to see if my concept has been done before and to get crits.
For me, I instantly recognized the logo from another source. So I would not use it (and this has happened to me here as well). Although yours is a nice implementation. It is just too close to the other concept IMO. Again not saying it was a direct rip....great minds tend to think alike

KGB said:the fill on the letterforms is distracting and doesn't add anything to the design.

Farmill said:http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/39325 is a similar concept, personally I prefer that one.

ddd said:Hey AD
I have no doubt you haven't seen the design. It happens to us all. But like I said my opinion is I would dump it. It's just too close. But do what you do. I still like your implementation tho.
Farmill - I like that a lot as well.

t3amBrian said:The diagonal lines are trendy. That look is part of a fad that is finally dying off. It would look better in a solid color.

THEArtistT said:The stripes don't take anything away in my opinion. And I agree with Action Designer that this is a simple case of great minds thinking alike, but in two completely different ways and industries. There really isn't much conflict here. Certainly I have pulled some logos I've posted when pointed out they look very similar to another, but I've kept some as well for the same reasons I say here. No, in this case I'm with Action Designer. Sorry DDD. Floated.

lox said:I'm chasing up a query about an alleged copy of this logo on 99designs. I would really like to hear about it if you guys have some other examples that are potentially infringing. We certainly don't tolerate copying on 99designs, but I am always very careful to hear all sides of the story first and do some background research. It's always possible for the same idea to evolve independantly in multiple places, assuming people are guilty might be convenient, but it sucks when you are on the receiving end. Help me do the right thing here and let me know if you have any further details that might help.

Relevant said:Do you ban the people who are constantly caught ripping? If they have more than one infraction, then its obviously intentional. You could save yourself a lot of trouble by removing them from further competitions.

lox said:For blatant rip-offs we ban, and for minor infractions we give a fairly lengthy suspension.

darrel said:If your business is holding logo contests for $150, just assume a majority of it is ripped off...either conceptually or literally.
