Is this story true. (Regarding the AGD Logo)

[madmatt151]

I dont think they look alike at all. The "lion rampant" image is very common in medieval heraldry. It just looks good, what I've always wondered was why do the lions in the AGD logo look like they have mohawks

I think Mr. T was really big back then when they were designing the logo!

Joe:

there's more than one logo for the painters and allied trades.

I could not find one that was large enough. here is the pic I was comparing it to.









Compared to this:



and yes, i know the lion is a recurring image, i just thought it was interesting the two were similar, that's all I said. I didn't cry "plagarism!" I didn't demand AGD change its logo. I didn't imply that AGD was in some kind of labor conspiracy to manipulate market prices... I just said they were similar.

yep, that is a knock off. i have seen alot of lions used, different crests, banners, logos, shields, etc-but those 2 logos are really close. maybe joe worked for the painters
