There’s only so much that can be done with sleek minimalist lettering. It’s hard to break new ground

[@JovanSP]

As far as I'm concerned, nothing should have happened. Two similar logos, nothing new. Geniuses think alike.

Baffles me how you aren't more popular yet.
Keep up the good work!

Bro, Jesus it must be hard being an logo designer, your peers want to screw you for easy cash.

That's just human nature. Happens in every media. That's what happens when someone is successful and is put into a limelight

I can't believe they're claiming IP over two triangles and a square. And to say he's copying the style by using circles? Imagine how many billions of logos there are and 5 common shapes and 26 letters what do they expect.

Was your use of Lisa a reference to the London 2012 logo bring compared to her?

[@liamcollinson5695]

I still prefer this over the the 2012 London Olympic logo

[@flexparachute]

the best Olympics logo till now is still the one from Athens. No doubt.
