Here is a logo I created for a client 5 years ago.
I need to up my rates
SIDE NOTE, I didn’t do the website
i would say you’ve almost got a trademark issue there, very similar…
strikingly similar.
Needless to say, the pilates one isn’t trademarked.
It’s the fucking same!
I smell law suit!! :evil:
More like hefty out of court settlement. ANZ has deep pockets 
Its close but if its not trade marked. From my one year at grapho school I remember something about 10% is acceptable, but that is pretty close.
In order to cover up copying better things Postmodernism was invented. We just call it referencing.
Yeh its fine.
I think its funny, the “soft and cuddly” approach that banks are taking in their branding.
NAB did it a couple of years ago.
$15 million eh. they use MC Saatchi and they aint cheap, lot of research, 32 countries.
it all adds up i suppose
Buy a new lawyer.
LOL
imagine getting that quote.
“yeh yer lookin at a complete overhaul, gonna need to bring in some outsiders, some research, plane travel. As a rough estimate i’d say this puppy is gonna cost around $15.5 million, actually, you know what, lets just round it off to $15 million. Oh dont worry, i’ll get lunch.”
classic
AFAIK the new ANZ logo is to represent a lotus, realigns with their new ventures into the Asian market.
I potentially need a logo created for a new company - JUST a logo, which I will use on various items - ie brochure, business cards etc, nothing else and the quotes I have are between 3 and 5K. Nice bit of coin if your talented.
Ooo. pick me! pick me!

yours is good. that anz one is fucking ugly and stupid. reminds me of a retarded teletubbie or something.
on the side: hands up if you’re on this forum and not a graphic designer?
I’ll whip you one up on MSPaint if you send me a deposit.
puts hand up
Welll… i’m not, but I do like designing posters and the like.
I’m proud to say I’m not… :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Not a graphic designer but I sometimes get in trouble for graphic language.
