similar logos

I just noticed this Fallen Footware logo in a skateboarding magazine and thought it looked an awful lot like the funkmaster flex logo. I don't know who had the logo first, (I'm guessing funkmaster), but I just thought I'd share. Anyone else know of some really similar logos being used commercially by different companies?
I know we're all inspired by what we see, but sometimes they just seem too similar to be accidental.
PS. I just pulled these logos directly from each company's website and threw them next to each other for posting on here. They're almost the same exact size too. I didn't resize them at all. kinda funny coincidence.

QUARK!
Quark redesigned their logo 9/05 and relaunched a new design on 3/06 because of the uproar over it looking so much like other logos. Google "quark logo redesign" to read all about it -G

Pales in comparison to the uproar over their product sucking so bad. :) Just had to put that in there. He he.

Well ...
... I suppose that one could have copied the other. But it isn't unheard of that two different designers have ended up creating similar things (I mean, not everything can be ground-breakingly-new _all_ the time?).
I'd hate to judge either one or the other without having all the facts on the table, but yes, they are similar. On the flipside: it doesn't have to necessarily mean anything. :)
