patsox Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I would say that that is indeed 'Logo Ripoff' Congrats on spotting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swilson160 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I agree with dsgitlin...I see why you call it a ripoff, but that BCS logo is so damned generic and derivative that I don't know how anyone could be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfiji Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I say no.Yes, they are similar but I wouldn't call it a ripoff. There are more things different than the same. Plainsman Parking Lot. Auburn Baseball Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmat Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It also looks like they ripped off six flags. I am just kidding, but at first I did not see six flags there and I thought they did. I only come around here once in a while to annoy you people, and by people I mean you mutha :censored:as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Aren't a lot of championship logos somewhat similar to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It's not a ripoff- the championship is being held at Six Flags.The other? Meh. The same basic layout maybe, but it's far too generic to be considered a ripoff. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CubsFanBudMan Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The entire bottom half with the writing is almost identical. It even uses some of the same words -- Championship, 2007 -- in the same places with similar fonts. The colors are the same, both "banner" shapes are the same -- yes, it's a blatant ripoff.Sure, some generic logos copy ideas -- but this is like they just started with the BCS logo and commenced the Photoshopping. (or was it supposed to be vice versa?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Here's a better version of the BCS mark. While they are both pretty generic looking championship marks, you can't possibly deny that the bottom half of the two aren't completely identical.

Gothamite Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Okay, I agree. I didn't see it in the smaller size, but you guys are right. Somebody took a vector image and adapted it.Good catch.

leedsunited Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yes, but that "Sports Babes" logo is beyond reproach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody took a vector image and adapted it.Good catch.Well, kind of. The first logo he posted of the Fiesta Bowl is drastically different than the second logo. This has been a very silly exercise. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantum Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The question remains would anyone confuse the World Streetball Championship with the BCS Championship? Sure, the layout has been lifted. But no one is going to confuse the two. It's just artistic laziness. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

Sodboy13 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The basketball in the background looks familiar, too. Is that from the "NBA Cares" logo or something?

Fred T. Jane Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The basketball in the background looks familiar, too. Is that from the "NBA Cares" logo or something?Reference for the folks playing at home: [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Sure, the layout has been lifted. But no one is going to confuse the two. It's just artistic laziness.Well, since I saw the streetball logo and immediately thought of the BCS mark, yes it is confusing. You are missing the whole point. For the amount of times that someone has lifted a fantasy logo someone on this board has designed (which probably no one outside the board has seen or ever will see anyway), I think it's interesting that certain people don't think it's a big deal. I have a feeling if this was a board members logo being stolen everyone would be a little more interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the question as far as it being protected boils down to if a reasonable person would be confused between the two. No one within reason is going to confuse basketball and football. There is enough changed to distinguish the difference. Just because something is similar doesn't equate to identity theft. This is theft, just not as the level you're making it out to be.
