Was my logo stolen by Paradox?

[unmerged(193269)]

I'm not pointing fingers and it's probably just a coincidence, but the March of the Eagles logo looks like my title screen for the WW1 mod.

Here's March of the Eagles:

And here's my logo:

Well, did you make yours from scratch? Maybe you used the same base?

 

[Nefaro]

You're joking, right?

The 'eagle' in your mod banner looks to be the of the Prussian style, amiright? Which has been around for quite some time.

You must be joking, dude you based you logo of a prussian eagle, as did paradox. The prussian eagle has been around for 300 years.

EDIT: I'm more curious as what you'd ever hope to achieve with this.

Hahaha this is the funniest thing I read in this forum! Thanks for a good laugh!

 

[soja666]

Simply no,
you want to push your WW1 mod. Looks good i will give it a dry

 

[unmerged(465086)]

promoting your own mod by accusing the company that made your mod possible on their own forums?!

 

[Mattobro]

Wow, I really hope this was a failed troll, you can't be serious.

 

[unmerged(15561)]

Stolen isnt the best choice of words. Think of it as inspiring. Afterall you didnt still your logo - who inspired you to create yours?

Honestly, sometimes the Internet just sickens me. I'd never have thought Paradox would have sunk so low! Worse, it seems they're not alone - I just found out that this guy called Freddie Hohen-Staufen has not only been using your creative work, he's actually been licensing it out to some German metal band or something. What were they called... Tunetonik? The Tuentonics? Something like that, not sure. Doesn't really matter, I guess.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for creative freedoms, remixing and mashups and all that, but sometimes it just goes to far, into blatant theft.

Disgraceful. Just disgraceful.

oh my god paradox

i can't believe you have sunk to such depths

consider me officially boycotting your goods and only buying from companies with more integrity, like EA or Microsoft. :angry:

i am sorry but that is not conclusive evidence.

the jury is still out on whether paradox should be sued for plagiary

this could spell the end of pdox interactive, if aztec-gate wasn't bad enough

 

[comsubpac]

the real question is where did the prussians steal it...?

The prussian eagle has been around for 300 years.

Strictly speaking, the Prussian Eagle is just a black version of the single-headed Imperial Eagle. Even if one considers it a separate emblem from the other Eagles, it was licensed by the Kaiser to the Teutonic Order in the 1200s. Point being, his argument is even more ridiculous.

I took this image:

And I heavily edited to make it a black silhouette, the point is that's exactly like the March of the Eagles logo but just with some extra feathers added on.
