The Quark Logo Ripoff

This has to be a designers worst nightmare. Quark, known for being hip on design and whatnot, unveiled their new logo earlier this month. Unfortunately, it bears a striking resemblance to the logo for the Scottish Arts Council.



Not only that, but at a discussion at Veer, a member points out how the logo is similar to an array of logos, most notably, this one and Veer's wallpaper.

All I know is that I'm glad I use Adobe products. Long live InDesign!

  1. ditto. love indesign.

    Why in the hell is quark worried about a new logo now, when their real problem is much bigger? R.I.P.

  2. Exactly. I refused to get Quark because I learned how to do everything in InDesign. This might be their deathknell.

  3. That's what you get for making such simple plain jane logos like that... I mean it is a water drop with a circle in it... it took the designer like what, 45 seconds to come up with... It's dumb no matter who is using it.
