Logo inspiration community

It’s getting more and more frustrating to see ‘designers’ using all kinds of stuff in their logos that aren’t theirs. Sometimes it’s the use of stock images/vectors and other times it’s just a plain copy of another logo. If you design logos for a living you should know that stealing other people’s work is a theft.

By doing so you should remember you can’t always get away with it. Especially in the design world where thieves are spotted very quickly. The thieves that are being spotted here on the LogoMoose will have their own special place of recognition on this forum. To those we say: ‘Smile, you’re on LogoMoose!‘

but you dont know if they got motivated or just stoled some parts of the logo..

I wonder,how designers should protect their logos?
I understand, that designer spends a lot of time for creating every logo, so stealing is amoral…
