dont care Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 No, might have been inspired by it, but it has plenty of differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Might as well throw this in there since it also is kinda similar Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTernup Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm going to go against the grain and say yes. To me it looks like they used the T-wolves logo as a starting point. If that's the case then NO amount of changes can make it an original logo. After seeing BrandMooreArt's post I change my mind. Looking at the two logos in the side by side and flipped I don't think the T-wolves logo was used as a starting point anymore.

C-Squared Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I was convinced it was stolen until I realized the first two pictures were both the vodka company. My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'll say no, because there are only so many ways you can illustrate a wolf howling at the moon. Although reading the IP law discussion in the Las Vegas NHL Expansion thread... On a side note, I never noticed the tree shape in the Timberwolf's fur or the inside of his ear. Cool!

I never noticed that, either. I just thought it was a lightning bolt. One of those things you never see, but once you do you can't unsee it.

JayMac Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This game needs a catchy 70s jingle. I'm going to go with no, as well. Many little differences to not make it a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'm going to say no. Similar, but no. I'm also going to say that the blue "Eristoff" wordmark is absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 lets flip the vodka mark and look at them side by side similarities: profile, color, and concept (howling wolf inside a circle) differences: every detail is rendered differently. you can usually look at the intricacies in the highlighted areas and see shapes paths that were copied. in this case, it would seem 2 different artists looked at the same references photo (or similar photos) and drew their own version. verdict: not stolen copyright infringement?: possibly. you never know what a court might decide in such a case. it could still be determined "too close" GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I took away, as well. Normally, there's some tuft of hair, some weird shadow, some very unique shape somewhere that gets copied over if someone is stealing. I don't see that here.
