more to the point, why would you change a logo where brand recognition is part of the product! (i.e. I know customers on my site will recognise this icon as a trusted mark that it is secure)
I doubt it's a "rip off", and it's a bit disingenuous to immediately jump to that conclusion. These things happen.<p>The real test is wether Verisign revise/replace it.
Did the blog this is posted on steal their design from Under Consideration?<p>Example: <a href="http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/critter_type.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/critter_...</a> (Pay attention to both the post content and the Before/After images)
