Ripped-Off Logos: Readers
September 30th, 2005
First up we have a pretty great and blatant submission from Jeremy. He says, "I drive by this place all the time in Tucson...It must be easier to steal other ideas than to be original."
It sure is, Jeremy. It sure is.
A pretty obvious ripoff of the (real) Ghostbusters logo. Remember when that cartoon in the 80s with the purple gorilla tried to capitalize on the famous name of the Ghostbusters? This garbage is noooo different.
Check it out, from their website, they even use the "who you gonna call?" catch phrase but replace it with a mentally challenged tagline. Who you gonna TO RING??? What the hell? Who proofread that?
No, you look fine Slimer logo dude. Jeremy, thanks for sending this in!
Second we have a pretty obvious rip off of the Krispy Kreme logo. The difference here is that the people who did it sent it in! Working under the premise of a parody, which is all fine and good since they're not specifically using it as their company logo (i think)....I must admit it is pretty well done!
Watch your back, Kallens...you're probably going to get a bunch of donut-hungry cops showing up at your door. Sent by either a confused sergeant or a corporate lawyer. Hah. Thanks for sharing!
The Kallens said "We've been using this parody sig for a while...Kind of falls into the same category. If Krispee Kreme says to cease and desist, we certainly will!!"
