Did Verisign Steal Axis Bank's Logo?

When your logo is 'A large triangle with two triangles 1/3rd the size of the larger one cut out' chances are that you will run in to others that have done the same thing, only slightly different.

Were Axis Bank's logo-designers inspired by the Mitsubishi Motors logo? <a href="http://www.cartype.com/pics/2859/full/mitsubishi_logo_5.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.cartype.com/pics/2859/full/mitsubishi_logo_5.jpg</a>

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.

Every logo designer has played with diamonds and triangles at some point, creating variations of these same shapes.

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)

If you look closely, Verisign's logo is symmetrical and Axis Bank's is not.

I think they used the same pixels, but just move them around.

No.

From the looks of it, no they didn't.
