Wouldn\u2019t you do something about it?<\/p>\n<p>Bet you\u2019ve heard the news, PayPal sues Pandora for ripping off their logo design. Last October, the music streaming company redesigned its logo and since then, it has caused the former much trouble. Not only is the design too similar, but it also confuses their customers and creates hype. Such is the power of a logo design! This is not the first time a company has filed a lawsuit against another for a logo. There have been many other logo rip-off stories you may or may not be aware of. While you go through the case studies below, keep in mind that the best practice is to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/logo-design-contest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> make a unique logo design for your brand.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Case Of The Stolen Eye<\/h2>\n<p>Did you see the Snapchat\u2019s spectacles? It was amusing to find the one-eyed vending machine pop up in cities. Not once did anyone think there was some fishy unless the parent company, Snap Inc., was sued by Eyebobs. The brand, selling reading glasses since 2001, claimed trademark infringement in a lawsuit against the use of its eye icon in Snapchat\u2019s spectacles vending machine promotion. In the preliminary injunction, the federal district court of Minnesota (where the case was registered) found no threat to Eyebobs LLC despite the proof of their trademark of the eyeball design. Plus, Snap said it was unaware of the fact an eye was a common law mark.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12097 lazyload\" title=\"Rip off logos: Snapchat and Eyebobs LLC\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rip-off-logo-designs-1.png\" alt=\"Rip off logos: Snapchat and Eyebobs LLC\" width=\"650\" height=\"372\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/372;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>It Is Just An Apple<\/h2>\n<p>Not in this case. In 2008, The Victoria School of Business and Technology was sued because they used an apple in their logo. Apparently, Apple. Inc considers itself to be the only one to use this fruit. In a response to the letter sent by lawyer Stephanie Vaccari who represented the tech company, the school president highlighted an important question \u201cAre you suggesting that anyone using any variation of an apple for technology education is infringing on Apple\u2019s trademark?\u201d An apple has been a symbol of health, and later education when singer Bing Crosby released the song \u2018An Apple for the Teacher\u2019. Although it was a silly case that lasted three years, the school had to give in. It changed its name to Q College and designed a new logo.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12098 lazyload\" title=\"Rip off logos: VSBT and Apple\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rip-off-logo-designs-2.png\" alt=\"Rip off logos: VSBT and Apple\" width=\"650\" height=\"372\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/372;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Tell No One It Didn\u2019t Happened<\/h2>\n<p>In 2010, Clearwire Corporation announced its plan to enter the mobile phone market. Nothing wrong with that except for their logo. Sony Ericsson filed a case against the internet company and demanded over $100,000 as a legal fees for having a logo design similar to theirs. Nevertheless, the lawsuit was dropped when Clearwire established they\u2019re not going to manufacture or launch smartphones anytime soon. Today the wireless operator\u2019s logo is much different than a green swirl in a sphere.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12099 lazyload\" title=\"Rip off logos: Sony Ericsson and Clearwire corp\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rip-off-logo-designs-3.png\" alt=\"Rip off logos: Sony Ericsson and Clearwire corp\" width=\"650\" height=\"372\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/372;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>The Value Of The Written Word<\/h2>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know it was coming, after all, it was only a typeface right? In January 2017, graphic designer Moshik Nadav filed a $5 million lawsuit against the world renowned singer Cher for copying his Paris and Paris Pro logo typography for her name on one of her<a href=\"_wp_link_placeholder\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\"> album cover designs<\/a> without permission. Nadav claimed the swashes of letters are similar to his typeface design and that people associate him with such \u201cartistic elements\u201d. During the court proceedings, Cher\u2019s lawyers proved the case to be baseless, especially when the two logos only shared one letter, and that the copyright law in the U.S. does not protect fonts. Thus, the New York federal judge dismissed the case.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12100 lazyload\" title=\"Rip off logos: Cher and Paris\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rip-off-logo-designs-4.png\" alt=\"Rip off logos: Cher and Paris\" width=\"650\" height=\"372\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/372;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Is He The Culprit Or The Innocent?<\/h2>\n<p>Starbucks filed a \u00a36,000 lawsuit against Starbung, a local coffee stall brand in Bangkok. In addition to this, the company demanded an annual interest and monthly installment until the insignia is changed or removed. The owner, Damrong Maslae testified that the logo represents a religious symbol and color. He asked a designer friend for help with the logo and denied the allegations of trademark violations. While at the time Maslae was determined to fight till the end, he lost and changed the name to \u2018StyleBung\u2019 with modifications to the logo. Later, even the plaintiff redesigned its logo.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12101 lazyload\" title=\"Rip off logos: Starbucks and Starbung\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rip-off-logo-designs-5.png\" alt=\"Rip off logos: Starbucks and Starbung\" width=\"650\" height=\"372\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/372;\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Coming Back To PayPal And Pandora<\/h2>\n<p>The e-transaction company sued the music company for a \u201cP\u201d (not a pee) after the customers were confused by one logo for the other. Some even thought of a takeover or merger. Before taking Pandora to court, PayPal tried to work things out without legal intervention. When that didn\u2019t work, a lawsuit was filed in Manhattan with evidence of social media posts hinting that PayPal\u2019s unique brand image is at stake, and it may lose its clients. The case is that Pandora must stop using the new sans serif logo, pay for the damages it caused PayPal, and never do anything that suggests the two companies are related in any way.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12102 lazyload\" title=\"Rip off logos: PayPal and Pandora\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rip-off-logo-designs-6.png\" alt=\"Rip off logos: PayPal and Pandora\" width=\"650\" height=\"372\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/372;\" \/><\/center>After all this, one thing is for sure \u2013 we must clearly define the word \u201ccopy\u201d in the world of branding and design. I mean it is ridiculous that Apple Inc. sued two or more companies that used an apple in their logo. How can you prevent people from using a mundane item? While some lawsuits make sense, others just seem ridiculous. For this, you need to know about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/videos\/copyrights-trademarks-derivative-designs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">copyrights, trademarks, and derivative designs<\/a>.
