i can't decide whether it's a rip or not. help!

Only to it looking like British Steel!
Which I thought as well but whether it has been "inspirded by" or ripped off of anything the bottom line is it is pretty rank I think.

What the drum are calling it a rip too?

I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

Was just looking at the Drum site before this and they actually have an article about the logo ::

Does look very similar it has to be said.

graham and paul from elmwood used to work here at *GP, was it one of them that did the logo krust?
- blastofv0
yeah, but there's no way in hell that will be ripped...so maybe that's a new level of consideration in logo design
although those are probably appropriated embellished letters for that splash page, right?
a lot of big brands are going all typography as well – just the name in a clean/custom font

here comes the age of the super-detailed, illustrative, and/or otherwise highly-stylized logos

? (it's not really a logo, just a temp page) !
- blastofv0
it seems unlikely, but I can buy it that it's unitnentional
I had a similar problem, although on a much smaller public scale... there's just too much identity design out there, and if your approach is simple and geometric, you're going to run into problems

the dude who did it is a friend of a friend where i work. apparently he's being ripped continuously for it! haha
i dont think it's ripped tho, just unfortunate, maybe subliminal. NO-ONE is dumb enough to rip something off on that scale for such a big client that everyone is going to see, and for a big/prestigious agency? no way man.
poor sucker.

is the swedish one an existing logo that is used at the moment on their trains/transport?
if so, then i could see how it couldve been a subliminal thing.
- blastofv0
gradient and color values, as well as the stroke weight of the letterform says straight rip to me
that can't be coincidental – subliminal maybe, but I doubt it
or does everybody already agree on this?
