Gee, Phil, Nice Logo
Posted on 11. Nov, 2009 by Tenshi Vielle in Gossip, Wall of Shame
Philip Rosedale’s new company logo
Wonder where you got the idea?
Codebastard Redgrave’s MechanizedLIFE Logo
I’m sure this isn’t the first mechanical heart/cogs idea to ever appear, but seriously… what really gets me is the disjointed bottom of the heart, much like the <3 used in Codie’s logo.
Welcome to our Wall of Shame, Phil, old boy.

Rosedale's logo makes no sense whatsoever, at least Codebastard's logo has the context of ASCII art behind it.

To me it Phillip's logo make more sense – the heart meaning love, the color red affiliated with love and the gear reference for machine.

I disagree, Codebastard's heart emoticon uses a machine font which has a more solid concept than Rosedale's logo which is a mishmash of clearly overworked ideas.

Both logos are derivative.

Codie also invented the color red.
And the cotton gin.
(Not necessarily in that order.)

Seriously? when there is more blatant theft and derivative works going around….you post this?

I had no idea Codebastard invented emoticons. Duly noted.

I agree with Moneypenny…wasn't there some big skin scandal over the last couple days that could be discussed? ^

Exactly, but of course it wasn't Minnu so it doesn't matter to the owner of this blog…

What I love best about Philip Rosedale's logo is the nicely placed red 'L' for Learner. Clearly Philip is proud to display his learner plate to all potential clients.

So, Codebastard stole the ascii art heart from whoever first came up with that idea and you let him get off scottfree?

Actually, none of them can claim to had the heart+love idea first, and both logos are distinct enough so that they cannot be mistaken for each other. so there is neither content theft, plagiarism, or copyright infringement anywhere in this logo.
Actually, i like Phil's logo a lot better than the other one.
'Nuff said, on to more important topics

Umm will there ever be a time where people can be creative the saying is great minds think alike and that emoticon is very well known .I am really just distubed over the witch hunt mentality on creativity I say do some research and read on copyright I see nothing wrong with the logo they have different concepts. But for the love of creativity chill out .TBH I never saw codereds logo thing untill this post.

Been a slow news week for Tenshi, she's just waiting for some new half-understood nugget of scandal to cross her desk so she can quickly put it out there for the feral dogs to leap upon. Funny how there's been no follow-up on the wildly successful Artist's Voice protest tho.

I think, folks, a little context is what's going on here… but we all know context sucks, so let's not use it and just carry on.

You left a few things out. The blogger didn't just post her opinion, she made an abusive and critical postings about someone saying they committed a crime they clearly didn't.
I understand you want to be the voice of reason so everyone can think well of you, but you glossed over the blogger's sin. What sin? Well, either bearing false witness, if she knew this wasn't a case infringement, or stupidity, if she thought this was a case of infringement.

My investigative comment was deleted! I think PHIL hacked this blog to blur the traces of his own guilt! Oo
We were so close to crack this case \o/
And leave Tenshi alone, folks! Her genius is unique, her courage to speak up is peerless and her keen mind is superior.
Now let’s go and buttkick heartless PHIL!

His logo would make more sense if it was smaller and incorporated into the words, in place of the V in love (though lovemachine for a business name is really stupid IMO). As for whether he ripped off Codie, I don’t think either idea is so groundbreaking that it sets a precedent to borrow from.

Mindshift logo uses cogs also.
About the love machine. It’s a system the Lindens use. Every time something good is done by a co-worker they send love to each other, it arrives as an email. After a few months the love gets tallied up and they get a few dollars extra on their pay depending on how much love they got.
May explain why theyre so happy-go-lucky when the grid is acting terribly. Not sure if this is where Phil is going with his new project but it’s interesting.
