Copy Cat

I was at Gulf Bank today morning cashing a cheque when I noticed Gulf Bank’s Freedom Account logo. Its nearly a duplicate of MTC’s older distributors logo.

but I’m not, I’m out here living day to day surviving
and I’m willing to die for my colors

It might be only me but I find it way not a duplicate or a copy of the first logo! I’ve seen zillions of logos using the same style, that ain’t probably the case over here, same “Active” colors if you will, but definitely doesn’t look like a copy of the first one, plus the Bank logo looks better. Just my 2 bits.

the back ground is different, the order of the colors is slightly different. the center is completely different.

so TECHNICALLY.. its jus the same style n NOT the same logo.

jus a point.

the background is different because i scanned it from the brochure. this logo is not only the same style its very close to being identical also. look at the colors and look at the way they were twirled and if you add just a small white circle in the middle of the distributors logo then they will both look the same.

did you by any chance design the logo? lol

LOL.. if i HAD designed a logo.. it wouldve definitely been a lot lot different. n i wouldnt have POINTED OUT its similarity to another logo 😀

I was jus highlightin the fact that IT ISNT THE SAME. Similar n SAME are very different terms.

since u said SAME STYLE is normal.. SAME LOGO ISNT.. i jus wanted to point out that THIS MIGHT BE SIMILAR to the other logo but TECHNICALLY isnt the SAME.

Technically being the operative word 🙂

The logo is TECHNICALLY ‘SIMILAR’ too.
The color tones are almost / same (i guess) similar.

The title copy-cat is apt.
Although there might be an infinitesimal chance of striking at the same concept.

Where are concept based designs ?
I hardly see any creativity in Kuwait.
