Hi all, quick question...I illustrated the logo
on the left a few years ago
for a small burger shop in Brooklyn, it's copyrighted on
all
display / menus / collateral. I got a text the other night from
the NY Food & Wine Festival, saying a major restaurateur
ripped it off. The logo on the right just came to me...I think
they're pretty
different, others say it's too close for comfort and find out the
extent of their usage. Not a new topic but
an ongoing one; I'm curious what you think at what point is a
copyrighted design is original, inspiration, or just an idea out in the
world? It's basic deconstructing a sandwich... but if it was your small
startup business versus a multi-million dollar franchise does that change the
picture?
