TrumpCash ripped MediaTemple?
 

I just happened to click on a sig on here (something I rarely do) and low and behold I instantly noticed what appears to be a web design rip. Now the two sites may be associated with each other and I'm wrong, but I'm really doubting it. The menu bars are what's in question here.


MediaTemple (original) http://www.mediatemple.net/

No I don't think thats Trumpcash who is to blame.. :)
Its one of the designers that took a pile of money for a rip.

And its not us tho'. Its the expensive ones I think. :)

Quite a few designers have done that actualy..

http://www.ynotmasters.com/ here is another example..
but i wouldn't call it ripping.. everyone borrows ideas from other designers..
Our designs very often get borrowed..

here is an example
we did: http://www.envisionextadult.com/WEB_...tWiredContent/

Nothing wrong with that.

Highly doubt thats a rip of a site. your looking at a line that goes across.. every website has something that looks like something from another website. Designers usually get their creativity from looking at the work of other designers.

Never no one steal your design... do you know why?

Haha, yah those web sites in comparison use the same general idea. From the looks of this though it's a copy and paste job. I'll take some screenshots and post a comparison when I get a chance.

there's probably about 800 tutorials out there for creating that exact bar.

they probably requested it too look like TCG.

There we go, see I understand that people use the same ideas from other sites on thier own sometimes. Who ever made TrumpCash's design though clearly used the same graphics as MediaTemple.

If there is I'd like to see one that produces the EXACT same bar(s)/buttons...

i'm not saying it's not a rip ; )

just that it's a very common looking bar..

hmmm, point?
