I hate to be a rat, but I think this company would not be too happy with the person listed as #8 in this weeks SOTW forum. I remembered seeing it elswhere, and couldn’t remember where…but i found it through a google search again. For ease I have posted the file in question on my site.

hmmm… looks pretty blatant to me… no way is that logo and the colour scheme a coincedence… naughty boy! _smacks wrist_ ---

I dont really think the site is a rip… it’s style that has been used on several sites in the past two years, but not copied. just the logo I’m concerned with. ---

Both sites are very similar indeed, but I have no clue which one was the original, if not already ripped, is the other a rip, … If the site that was submitted for SOTW is indeed a rip, action will be taken, but first we need to make sure. That style is common around the internet too. That other site’s logo was a definite rip of the bar logo you have on your site. Though I couldn’t find the site of that bar - it should be located in Helsinki.
