The latter half of the article is interesting, but the lede about the &quot;G&quot; logo is inane. <i>Any</i> minimalist rendering of a common shape like a letter is going to wind up looking similar to something else. Surely this is self-evident?<p>Incidentally the Tokyo 2020 olympic committee is in the late stages of a similar furore over their logo, a stylized &quot;T&quot; with some some adornments, which turned out look similar to the logo of a Belgian theater company:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?tbm=isch&amp;q=tokyo+olympics+theatre+de+liege" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?tbm=isch&amp;q=tokyo+olympics+thea...</a><p>Equally silly in my opinion, but people then found more blatant examples of copying in the designer&#x27;s past work so they wound up scrapping the emblem.
