You be the judge -- Olympic Logo and Conservative Party Logo


They look a lot alike to me -- in a trademark case, or a passing off action, I'd fell pretty good arguing they were confusing. That said, my guess is the similarity was unintended -- there's no obvious upside for the Olympic designers to copy the Conservative logo.

But there is for the Conservatives.

It looks a lot closer to the RCAF logo, which seems to the the inspiration.

Can't say it really brings the Conservative logo to mind.

The fact that the Libs are trying to make hay with this shows how desperate they are to change the channel from their party dis-unity and poor polling. Rank and file Liberals should be quite embarrassed actually.

October 14, 2008 your party was judged.

The McGill study gave some insight of the Anatomy of Liberal defeat.

Today the party of puffins, plagerism, wafers, tasteless jokes, unsexy comments asks about Olympic logos?

That 26.3% POP low point will be tested in 2010.

Based on your desire to chase bodybags and fight a "hidden agenda" the voters will send another message at the next general election.

I'm not a Liberal and I still say it looks like the Conservative logo.

So, how about you post the RCAF logo along with the other two and then ask the question of which two look most alike?

Or would that ruin the little Liberal game, of change the channel, that we have going here?
