On vacation in Vegas this Christmas I spotted this sign (a) at a CVS near our hotel which bears a striking resemblance to the Battery Plus logo (b). Both of them are national brands so the questions I have are…
- Is this just a case of great minds think alike?
- Could this be a simple cautionary tale of the dangers of using stock vector art?
- Which came first?
Also the same as the logo for One Laptop Per Child – just rotated through 45 degrees.
Yeah, the happy X dude must be a popular icon.
the professional designers first task before commencing work is to research.
so great minds thinking alike is an unacceptable excuse in my book.
