Hi Folks,

I have a feeling that some of these logo designs may have appeared elsewhere.

Does anyone recognize any of them, or can you think of any existing logos that may look/feel similar?

Many thanks,
Byron

Top row, 3rd from left reminds me of Quark
3rd row, 2nd from left reminds me (remotely) of Windows.
Bottom row, 2nd from left reminds me of a feritility clinic which I can’t place.

Several do vaguely remind me of different things, but nothing specific. Why do you ask?

You might look around on Logopond as well.

Top to bottom, left to right:
1 - Agricultural logo I saw about 10 years ago in Mexico
2 - It looks too much like a stock icon
3 - No comment
4 - It looks too much like a stock icon
5, 6, 7 - No comment
8 - Similar to a TV show from Germany (check out dw-world.de)
9 - ?
10 - Too similar to a four-color press ad in CMYK magazine (or HOW or one of those)
11 - No comment
12 - There’s an antivirus software company who has a very similar brand
13 - Typophile?

Why did you ask the question?

I was just trying to help out. The folks at DataPortability.org were trying to vet their logo candidates in order to avoid a potential case of trademark infringement.

Unfortunately, that’s precisely what happened. The logo that was selected (#3, 1st row) looks a bit too much like the Zaoza logo. It’s really too bad: http://zaoza.com/

They are probably going to look at a secondary candidates from this list, so if anyone has any other specific ideas about possible trademark infringements, any help would be great.

Thanks!
