Google Android Ripping Off Zero Puncutation Logo?

[SonicKoala]

I chalk it up to a complete coincidence that they look even the least bit similar - there's just too many differences to make this worthy of any sort of controversy.

oh god you are correct we must conduct a crusade against google was it

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

I see how you see the resemblence but they are different enouogh.

That said the android logo sucks ass, i like the ZP one but google did something to fuck it up.

I don't know what.

And anyway, if Google wants that logo they got it, they'll just buy our the whole Escapist website if they want to.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

They look kinda similar but then one could make the argument that both are just ripping off the Nick-games logo.

I can see the resemblance, but there's no "ripping off" going on here.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I don't really see the similarity between the two and I don't see enough here to say that it is a rip off. I'm sure Yatzhee has the Logo copyrighted or the Escapist at least has it copyrighted.

now people google are the ones that stood up to china and no they don't look the same

 

[happysock]

I don't see it, also what's google android?

Perhaps this is a global conspiracy against Yahtzee?

[sub] no it wasn't on purpose. [/sub]

It sortof looks like the result of a classic "green manlike creature from mars" mating with R2D2

 

[ucciolord1]

No, not really. I mean, there is some resemblance, but not to the point that one could be convinced of plagiarism.

 

[Femaref]

I don't see it, also what's google android?

Operating system for smartphones by google.

 

[ffxfriek]

I hope you're joking.

ninjas...

 

[archerboy106]

android= alien

zp imp= imp

 

[sigma2]

It seems that the imp has a distant cousin!

 

[Loop Stricken]

Isn't it the South Park baby?

 

[Monkeytacoz]

ZP didn't invent imps

 

[Srkkl]

I really don't see the similarities. I mean the eyes maybe, but no, you are wrong.

 

[Daveman]

I would worry if it looked like this:

Now just put "DISTRICT 9" at the bottom and you've got yourself a movie poster.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

The two are pretty generic. I mean I always assumed he had just copy pasted it from somewhere...

 

[Tiny116]

I see where you're coming from but I think they're different enough to be ok.
Besides Google has too much money to bother suing and google'll get flamed by escapist if they have a crack at Yahtzee (I expect)
