Does Goodby’s Logo Look Somewhat Familiar?
Multiple folks have weighed in on the eerie similarity between Goodby, Silverstein & Partners’ new logo and one from a company called S & Co., the latter of which was designed by Albert Angus Turbayne at the dawn of the 20th century. To be fair, there has been well over a hundred years of separation, so maybe it’s just coincidence, but some of you are anxious to let us know (and it is kinda hard to ignore). Maybe it’s an homage? Who knows, we don’t want to pile on today, so we’ll leave the judgment up to you. Take a peek below:

this was listed in the pic of the day thread a couple weeks ago. it's so close the the original it's obviously inspired/ripped but no one is yelling at apple for ripping dieter so i say leave it be. they like it, they want it, i'm sure they know where they got it.

There's no way this is a coincidence. I wonder how many people will get fired for this.
- Exactly no-one. It was likely a decision from up on high to rip this wholesale.Continuity

"maybe it's a coincidence"
what are you nuts? it's almost an exact replica.

What likely happened is the partners made the decision to rip this off. GSP are probably struggling financially and creatively, and they reckoned that negative attention is better than no attention at all. They will probably wait a few days and the try to palm this off as 'a homage' or other such patronising tripe, and then the industry will forget.

Usually when ad agencies get caught with ripping someone they say
"we are paying homage to..."

Meh...I can't see the similarities.
Hey, by the way, I'm thinking of creating a new TV show. I'm calling it "Curb your Fanaticism"...about a bald, divorced Palestinian bloke living in New York.
