Bothe the above examples have the same core idea with difference in color scheme.
A logo (Greek λογότυπος = logotypos) is a graphical element, (ideogram, symbol, emblem, icon, sign) that, together with its logotype (a uniquely set and arranged typeface) form a trademark or commercial brand. Typically, a logo’s design is for immediate recognition, inspiring trust, admiration, loyalty and an implied superiority. [1] The logo is one aspect of a company’s commercial brand, or economic entity, and its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. Logos are also used to identify organizations and other non-commercial entities.
Lateral Thinking: When a low probability line of thought leads to an effective idea, there is a “Eureka” moment and at once the low-probability approach acquires the highest probability. – Edward De Bono.

A copycat is a person that mimics or repeats the behavior of another. The term is often derogatory, suggesting a lack of originality. The expression may derive from kittens that learned by imitating the behaviors of their mothers. – Wikipedia.

My Fonts creative characters
Based in Bulgaria, Svetoslav Simov — “Svet” to his friends — runs one of the most successful young microfoundries to have joined MyFonts in recent times. In less than three years, his Fontfabric collection has grown to almost thirty type families, many of which have become top sellers. His typefaces are in perfect tune with the current revival of 1970s geometric lettering and ornamentation, a style of graphic design which he loves and admires, while adding subtle new flavors to the repertoire of available fonts. Meet Svetoslav Simov, our man in Sofia.

I catch up with Louai Alasfahani at the Dubai Lynx 2011 and ask him about his thoughts of this year’s work as well as the future of the region’s creative.
Like him or hate him, you gotta respect this man for just telling it how it is. If you don’t know who Louai is, all you have to do is google his name or just check out his blog at: http://bloganubis.com/
Louai’s blog broke the story on FP7’s Fadi Yaish and the scam work which tainted our region a couple of years back. The scandal ultimately created a massive shake up at FP7 and eventually forced Dubai Lynx to revoke FP7’s ‘Agency of the Year’ accolade as well as various awards and ban them from entering any work into the Lynx.
To put it bluntly, bloganubis will name and shame you if your cheating in the region. Check out Louai’s blog and his thoughts here (sorry for butchering your name Louai).
