lich0037 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 A co-worker forward this link to me. Quite an undertaking. I really like all the lakes done so far. Great style.From the Designer:Lake logos have a tendency to be, well, fairly ugly. This project was created to rethink what they could be.One Minnesota Lake. One Logo. Every day.Should only take a little over 27 years to hit 'em all. Stay tuned and enjoy!http://www.branding10000lakes.com/index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yeah I thought of that Bud campaign. I still like that logo however. Also, there is about 11,500 lakes in Minnesota... So I'm thinking more like 30 years if they do this one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Does no one care that she's stolen an idea and traced a stock photo for one of these, let alone that some of them really aren't very good?. How many more of these will be stolen or traced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I definitely agree with that sentiment, Andrew. Very poor overall. Ideas for such an expansive concept like this are inspirational, but are worthless if they're simply regurgitated ideas of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewPF Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Is tracing a photograph really so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The image is the property of the owner who took the photograph, so it is illegally recreated without the permission of the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewPF Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 But isn't it making your own image based off the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 But isn't it making your own image based off the original?The short answer is no. This is the reason Shepard Fairey had to settle with AP for his HOPE poster. The illustration of Barack Obama was traced from an AP image.Tracing a photo is probably the 'least offensive form of infringement' (if that even exists), but beyond that, the exact idea of using a splash to form a crown has already been done multiple times in multiple industries. Using a photo as the backbone of an illustration is different than tracing a photo and calling it done. It may be a fine line, but both this and the HOPE poster firmly fit in the latter.
