Blatant rip off

Recommended Posts

You'd think they could afford to hire one of our (CC Boards) graphic experts to do up a new logo - instead they have to go and rip off one that already exsists.

There are fantasy teams that could do better for a logo - JERKS! :cursing:

Seriously, what's wrong with formally requesting a logo and paying for it? You get your own, unique look, zero risk of a lawsuit, and you made someone happy by using their work legally. Cough up some money and do it the right way.

Yeah, I emailed the team president.

So did I:

Dear Chad,

When I come to attend one of your team's games, is it okay if I just go ahead and wear my Pensacola Barracudas shirt instead of buying one of your team's?  I mean after all, its pretty much the same logo, right?  Please let me know if it's okay.

:lol: Hilarious, dude.

Um.... you guys realize it's not the same logo, right?

I know there are some similarities, and one definitely looks inspired by the other, but everything from the eye to the details to shape of the fish are clearly different.

Dunno. Haven't checked that e-mail account since sending it. If I get one, I'll let you know.

True.

It just looks like someone re-rendered it in Illustrator, while looking at the Pensacola logo from a fax on their desk.

You saying you wouldn't be pissed if you did the Pensacola logo?

:P

I'm sure they already swiped the same shirts anyways. It'll save them from ordering their own!
