  @problogger Ha. Influence = invert, use paint bucket for new colors.

  @problogger That's what you get when you want to influence too many people.

  @problogger Do Australian lawyers use boomerangs? Do I want to know?

  @problogger rather obvious copy, that.

  @problogger oh my gosh such a direct copy of your logo. Hope they apologise and stop using it.

  @problogger that's the best excuse he could think of? how insulting.

  @problogger Haha. "influenced" is one word you could use I s'pose. Personally I'd say "blatant copying bastards". Hope they change it soon

  @problogger as I Graphic Designer I've seen this situation so many times and what you pointed out on facebook it's very valid. Good luck.

• Carleenp  767  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger Yep, that is clearly a copy actionable under the DMCA. Facebook has a pretty good rep of responding to DMCA notices.

  @problogger Ha. Even the circles are in the exact same place. Ripoff!

  @problogger WOW...blatant rip off!!! I'd be all over these guys...what were they thinking?

• dtnorth  147  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger So a 180 degree rotation and a color change is "influence"? Bet they don't even have the vector graphics.

  @problogger ok how about how on photobucket people can order many things like mugs or cards w/ ur pic on it and you don't even know!

• irunabiz  110  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger looks like your logo to me. I think the designer was 'influenced' the same way a photocopier is 'influenced' by the original.

• RemieJames  423  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger and mind you that the customer pays for the pieces but the artist doesn't get anything for it.

  @problogger sounds like drugs. #nobueno

  @problogger Read their twitter profile Bio. Do you notice something else influenced?

• MeganAlba  488  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger apparently "influence" now means "copy"?

• CptTremendous  82  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger I don't think that attempt at plagerism could be any more obvious

• RebeccaGeiger  1,852  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger WOW that sucks.. what's with peeps not getting their own logo done anyway.. Brand YOU.. not knock off someone else..ick

• RobynBryant  348  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger that sounded awful, here's a redo: the response you rec'd sounds more like drugs than art. #nobueno

  @problogger whoah! it is LITERALLY your logo flipped upside down! not cool.

• MarekZee  78  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger Wow, pure blatant copy. Go after them Darren!

• keithschoch  503  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger If I'm "influenced" by a $20 bill, then it's not counterfeiting, I guess... That's absurd!

• willimac  870  February 13, 2010  Reply

  @problogger Sorry Darren. It sucks that @beamdotmy's "designer" copied your logo. Hopefully your FB & Twitter friends will shame them.
