This is a problem that happens in my work too. We architects are inspired by the works of others. We can do things "in the style of" someone else but not copy outright, unless we give credit for the source of inspiration. One famous firm won an award for a home design. When it got published, someone posted a picture of a house designed many years earlier by a famous architect, of which the new house was almost an identical copy. Oops. What followed was a lot of publicity to mention that the design of the new house was intented to honor and make allusion to the historical architect's work. We'll see how the public relations works out for EA. Maybe they'll give a big contribution to Mondonation.<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>ArturoArturohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10971352220152467379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554671041186726858.post-80679564591922375552007-08-31T09:28:00.000-05:002007-08-31T09:28:00.000-05:00That's an embarrassment for all involved. It is so blatant. mondonation needs to file a copyright infringement against EA to stop the branding. Unless, mondonation did not trademark their shirt, it' not a huge design idea anyway, it's nice but not "priceless" then it could just be a usage issue..(like we were there first) but free for the taking. Sticky mess is what it is. Whoever came up with it for EA most certainly was influenced by the T-shirts. No self respecting designer would ever do that..The branding for the perfume must not have had their full attention and priority..(IMHO)<BR/>;-DDeborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712807540726512236noreply@blogger.com
