leggman01 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was noticing the Mars Hill logo the other day and had two thoughts.1) The arms and claws don't seem to have the same "quality" that the head does2) The head looks an awful lot like the detailed Penn State logoHere are the logos in questionThere are some obvious differences - the MHC lion has an open mouth and teeth - but they seem to share A LOT of the same or VERY SIMILAR lineslook specifically at the shape above the eye on the right side, as well as the shape of the top of the head, the eyes, the whiskers and the shading - it appears as though the designer of the MHC logo simply compressed the PSU logo horizontally a bit and tweaked a few of the lines and colors and added teeth arms and clawswhat are your thoughts?

Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Definitely a rip-off. Of Penn State and NC State, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 He tried to rip off a logo.

Cody21 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 RIP OFF! this is just disgusting. the logo is a complete digrace. at least penn state has decency. In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

Brass Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I doubt Penn State really cares. They'll probably just look the other way. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I thought BYU looking at that. The ears aren't the same as Penn State, but still a rip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well PSU will just follow procedure and tell there supervisor...and assume he did the right thing.

McCall Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I thought BYU looking at that. The ears aren't the same as Penn State, but still a rip offThe ears are almost the exact same. The rip-off one just made the right ear a little more pointy but every other detail of the ears look identical. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Another rip off: http://www.gaa.ie/gaa-news-and-videos/daily-news/1/0302121654-tain-hurling-league-commences/http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=2vggzg8fholnbv4umcp5h1459 lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Looks like Pitt trying to rip off Penn State.But wait, that first logo has 3 whiskers on each side and Sandusky the Lion has 4 on each side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Another rip off: http://www.gaa.ie/gaa-news-and-videos/daily-news/1/0302121654-tain-hurling-league-commences/http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=2vggzg8fholnbv4umcp5h1459kc51 - while i agree that it's a rip-off, and not right, at least the two entities are in different countries and play different sports - unlikely anyone would confuse one for the otherpenn state and mars hill are both ncaa athletic programs (yes, they are on very different levels of the ncaa) with a mountain lion mascotI doubt Penn State really cares. They'll probably just look the other way.this appears to be the case - i notified the appropriate contact found here of this apparent trademark infringement on 1/25 and he has never responded to me in any way - perhaps he is working on this, but he did not even acknowlege the email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
