LogoMaid: Simplebits Logo Ripoff
Last year in December, Dan Cederholm launched a new website design for his business and weblog, Simplebits, along with a brand new (and great looking) logo.
Now, LogoMaid is selling a logo bearing a striking similarity to Dan’s on their website for US$ 199,-. They even have the audacity to call the logo “restyling”. Read the discussion on Flickr or John Gruber’s post on the topic. Paul Viluda, the owner of LogoMaid, even accused Dan Cederholm of in turn ripping his own logo off from LogoMaid and threatened a lawsuit against SimpleBits.
Dan’s logo is not the first they ripped off. Panic’s Unison logo is among the stolen designs, as well as Apple’s logo (now removed). Hopefully this post helps spreading the word that LogoMaid consists only of dirty thieves!
Good luck, Dan!
