What a fucken knob Rich Silverstein is. If you're going to do crap like this, just admit you made a mistake. Don't dress it up in that flowery bullshit.

got logo?

One thing designing something for a client that takes elements from other designs. But for an Agency this big that hangs its hat on stuff like this, it is bloody disgraceful.
No bullshit flowery words from your copy department can cover up the fact this is blatant ripping off.

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

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..."

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.
