possible that they got the idea from you but it's different enough that i think it could be a coincidence. when you google image search "gold coast suns retro logo" the first result is this:

it's possible they saw this one and sort of ran with the idea, cleaned up the weird janky elements and made it a bit more accurate to the real VFL shield logos. maybe they saw yours too, who knows. it sort of reminds me of the controversy around here over that guy's port adelaide logo idea; when you actually broke it down, everything that the two designs had in common (the letters PA in a monogram but it wasn't the same monogram at all, a shield type logo shape, and prison bars at the bottom) were kind of obvious ideas to work with when designing a port adelaide logo, and the idea that port copied or plagiarised that idea is dubious at best. these are all pretty basic design elements.

Reminds me of the Macedonian flag

 

[Ogrebait]

Liam Boy, I don't think you're strengthening your plagiarism argument by comparing it to Port's logo redo. If PA's design was broken down into seperate elements, having the same idea and execution as just one of the features of someone else's work would be understandable; two would be a coincidence; three - unlikely; but four? Nah.

 

[Liam Boy]

the port adelaide logo looked superficially similar but when you break down those four elements in common, the PA monogram, the prison bars at the bottom, the shield shape, and the teal outline, all of them are obvious design elements for a port adelaide logo and all of them are executed differently in both logos.

the official monogram is actually taken from a New Era hat, first sold around the time the first logo was designed (I can't find an exact date but both appear to have been made in 2015). If you only look at it for a second it appears that they've copied the shape of the monogram but really the only thing these two monograms have in common is the letters PA, and what other letters would you use? Then you've got the shield shape, a standard element of footy club logo design which is played straight on the left and adjusted to be a more direct reference to Port's 2 chevron design on the right. The prison bars are placed in the only place they fit without overlapping the monogram and muddling the design. Finally you've got the teal outline, which is equal thickness on the left and thinner on the right.

These logos are superficially similar because they're both working with the same bundle of Port Adelaide design elements. If you grabbed any two designers and asked them to come up with a minimalistic logo that incorporates this many design elements, you would probably end up with two nearly identical logos, save for some limited individual creative decisions. I think it would be the same for many clubs. I've seen a million variations on North's blue and white striped shield logo with a bounding roo superimposed and Victoria Amat Curam underneath. Do i think people were copying each other? Of course not, there's just only so many things you can do when you're trying to put those design elements together into a logo without overcomplicating it. It shat me the way people talked about this Port logo like they definitely ripped the guy off, it's different and the differences all stem from slightly more focused and deliberate design decisions i.e. the P and A interlocking to represent the split clubs becoming one again, the sharper shield representing the V shape, and the teal being deliberately de-emphasised compared to the black and white because it's a relatively small part of Port's history. Again, it's possible that they did take inspiration from the left design, but are they not allowed to use these trademarks of their club in the most intuitive and obvious way because some guy online did it first (and honestly, not as well)?

 

[Ogrebait]

I hear what you're saying but I've come to a different conclusion. Of course there's slight variations in the execution, as you'd expect from professional designers, but I don't think PA came up with their logo independently (without at least being aware of the other designer's). Let's just agree to disagree.

Ah but you see you did yours in red and yellow, and they did theirs in yellow and red. Massive difference!

 

[Liam Boy]

worth noting the streaks of light are a design element the suns have been using in versions of their logo forever.

 

[Red Crow]

A basic 2D sun in the 70s era shield is the most obvious design known to man if you’re coming up with a fauxback retro shield for Gold Coast.

The rest are actual old logos
Full range here

 

[Liam Boy]

lol that freo one is terrible, why put a shield inside a shield? surely the move there is to remove the white border and just have the guy with the anchor on a half green, half red background? or maybe even do something completely different that takes advantage of the shield's similar-to-an-anchor shape at the bottom. The Port monogram is pretty hideous too

 

[Gibbsy]

The Port one sucks, dunno why they had to use that shitty Arial style font too

The guy may have had some morsel of a case if we weren’t already using a PA monogram, but we were and it was extremely popular. So essentially he just lifted the two most obvious Port icons (one of which already featured on our previous logo), tinkered with them for the worse and clumsily squished them together. Then wanted credit for an “original” design. Laughable.

something kind of similar happened to me with the AFLW pride guernsey. the basic idea was the bounding roo but with a rainbow instead of the stripes above the kangaroo; in my version each stripe was a different solid colour and in theirs it was a gradient across all of them. i just thought it was cool that they went with an idea similar to mine. i made it because i wanted to see my club wear it, and that's pretty much what i got. i'm just a supporter though, maybe it's different if you're also a professional graphic designer trying to get your work out there.

I hate it man. We were never around in the VFL era. We have actual real heritage logos we could use for stuff like this.

Thanks for this!

On a side note, I personally hate how kfc and emirates have different reds.

And the size! The stacking of different shaped logos always looks odd. I have the same issue with the Lions media polos
