I normally do not make posts like this. But it LOOKS ou guys are trying to copy WebInc work in a bad way... :warning

Be creative in your own way! :Oh crap

Looks pretty similar to me....

if i had a nickle for every time i've seen a design lifted...
i'd have a shitload of nickles.

Copycats :(

Platinumpimp,

I dont think the toon sites look similair, the design style is different. Webinc has a standard tour design and Illuminatitech uses a long tour.

I do see something in your first example.

Could you explain the anime paysite copy?

the only similarities i see in the first example similar style effect of the titles, fonts are different, layout different, buttons, background, amount of details
on the second only background color pallate is similar.

in the legal battle your case wont stand a chance, imo.
theyre only similar w/o paying attention to the detail, but obviously other designs were inspired by the originals.

Look at the orange lining at the top and below the red/shade in the middle. Come on now... :winkwink:

There's a difference between copying & ripping :-)

I think it's fairly easy to see the similarities in the second example. The colors and bg are very similar. I agree with you that the design is much different, and actually very good. I just don't they had to copy the BG and color scheme.

yeah the same hate when ppl do that

People sometimes try to do what they want. but people like XpressWebStudio are paid to do someting they don't want. Artist sometimes must follow their client... That's the sad part... But the good part is they tried to make it somehow different...

:warning i would like to inform all of you that the design you saw was specified by our clients... don't ever think that our designers are trying to imitate or rip off their designs... we're just following our clients specifications we didn't consciously made an effort for our designs to look like someone else's designs... we are not aware that kind of design existed... it was purely coincidental... :) :) :)

"good artists get inspiration from other artists, great artists steal from good artists!"-Bill Gates from Pirates of Silicon Valley

:thumbsup Yeah.... Like Metalica inspires all Metal Rockers now adays... :pimp

Similar, but hardly a rip-off. Its like saying that all the affiliate programs with Cash or Bucks in their name are ripoffs.

if these threads consistently prove one thing, it's that many of you need to have your eyes examined.

Thanks to all you guys who stood up for us... It was never our intention to rip off or copy webinc's design.. it was purely coincidental.. we have great respect for webinc.. they have been in this industry longer than us and they have great designs... To the staff of webinc.. we want you to know that we greatly admire your work and we would never ever do such a thing.. we had no idea that those designs we're similar to the ones you have already created as we are not aware of such designs of yours until now.. As for platinumpimp, I wish you would have talked to me personally on icq before attacking us like that..

And PlatinumPimps logos look nothing like Lukapensa's :1orglaugh

The colorss seem to be similar, but other than that they are really not that close. Mainly the second one.

Hey Pimp.... Did you really spent your time to research all this? Why? :1orglaugh :upsidedow

There's so many sites accross the adult spectrum there's bound to be similarites between so many of them. Not to mention the myriads of mom and pop sites all using the same rehashed bulk content.

(everyone just trynna make money)

One wonders (how) unless you shoot your own film. :2 cents:

So did your client specify that he wanted you to copy the "Meaty Man Movies" color scheme and underlining swoop?

Your Interacial Movies Logo was clearly influenced by the Meaty Man Movies. Can I take myself seriously while typing "Meaty Man Movies"? :1orglaugh

Imagine a lawyer trying to make a case for "Meaty Man Movies" in a court of law. :1orglaugh

I just ran into it. And it's not an attack, but an observation. :pimp

What are you talking about thief? Still busy ripping fletchxxx his designs? My logo's look nothing like anyone else's.

Fucking tool.

The only similarity between the first two is the logo. The second logo is obviously influenced by the second, but i'd hardly call it a copy.

The only similartiy between the third and fourth design is the colour scheme in the background. It's not exactly the most uncommon colour combination. Probably was influenced by the webinc design, but again, i'd hardly call it a copy.

I can't imagine webinc being particularly annoyed if they saw these designs. Maybe the logo on the first one, but that'd be all.

You guys wanna see an example of some REALLY bad copycats?

Yeah... Like your 3 stripes from Adidas who've been using it for a long time. :321GFY

Your logos are more similar to Lukapensa's in style and design than the two examples you used to stir up shit here.

I'll give you this much though, at least you've stopped using other people's licensed images in your designs. Unlike that one you like to bitch about me refusing to pay you for.

What a blowhard :1orglaugh

you're clearly an idiot.

I do not really see any similarity other then the colours..

hte first one might be similar, not not a ripp off IMHO

the second one, not even similar...:2 cents:

STOP SPAMMING YOU BUM!

Ok proven thief. Don't waste your time in this thread, you could be stealing more gallery designs in the time being.

Thankfully, I'm not the only one in the thread thinking the same way. :winkwink:

I've proven you to be a thief as well.

Did you own the license to the VW image in the logo you tried to pawn off on me? Didn't think so. :winkwink:

Artists are not supermen. See, everyday we walk on the steets and when we see some thing yhat look cool we are inspired by that and some how we copy it... Like you PlatinumPimp'ie.... :pimp

I think you are forgetting the term "creativy" somewhere along the lines.

You asked me to find a volkswagen and put it in there idiot. Besides, you didn't pay so it was never used commercially, tool. Later on we would have discussed licensing that pic. It was an idea.

This is like what, 2 years ago now?

Every creation have it's basis or a reason why it was created. Like the WMP skin of Terminator3 and AlienGuise. Like Ford and Chevi... You don't know who copied but in coincidence they have the same inspiration. :321GFY
