20 Identical Logo Designs – Copy or Coincidence?

The same nuisance is existent the logo design industry. You will witness hundreds of logo designs that either resemble other logos or are a downright copy. But I wonder the reason behind it…is it done intentionally or it’s a coincidence?

some time it called 'coincidental intention'
Very hard to know... like life after death. So better don't try.

Thanks!

Some are obviously intentional, but it's easy to see how two people could create a similar logo by following the same established guidelines for trademark design. Especially something very simplistic like the NBC logo - I'm sure that was a coincidence because a client like that would never steal due to the subsequent lawsuit it would surely (and did) spawn.

Well that easy, as both "stole" the design from many RSS feed illustrations out there.
