Thievery and Copyright/Trademark Violation

There has been a lot of news in the branding design world of late about the DIY logo sites, particularly Logo Garden (google it, I’m not even giving them a link, the jerks.) The number of stolen images is absolutely staggering to be honest. Here is one simple example. You can just peruse the site and count how many you recognize from other corporations.

I checked out the link to the stolen Impala logo — Swift Sports — that too is fake. Falsified testimonial as well.

Here is some more of the blatant thievery below. These are so easy to pick out, honestly, I thought they would at least TRY to hide the fact that they were peddling stolen goods. Guess not.

I think there may even be a sports logo of mine up there for sale. And I’m not that prominent of a logo designer! In the past, if I was busy and didn’t have time to do a logo for someone, particularly if they are on a tight tight budget, I have recommended one of the DIY logo sites. No more.
