Logo Theft! Or not?
Posted by Devon Akmon | Filed under Art & Design
Lately I have been noticing that a lot of small businesses have logos that resemble larger corporations. Some are suspiciously close in terms of the design – color palette, font, etc. Others completely rip of the integrity of other business’ brands. Below you will find three examples of businesses that I have stumbled upon over the past couple of weeks. You be the judge. What are your thoughts on “borrowing” from other brands? Let me know in the comments section below, or send me a 140 character note on Twitter (@snugglecore).
This store in east Dearborn has a completely stolen logo. In the past the business was called Hudsons. Apparently they decided to skip Marshall Fields in between their re-branding initiatives.
This one here is from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Lastly, I found this one in east Dearborn. It’s not a completely stolen logo, but the color palette and name allude to the popular web browser! And, yes, they do sell computers!
