LogoMaid and its SimpleBits Logo Ripoff

[ Disclaimer: I don't plan on making this a rant blog -- I promise I am keeping lots of fun stuff in store! ]

As peeved as I am about people ripping off the MacRabbit design, LogoMaid takes it to a whole new level with Dan Cederholm’s (excellent) new SimpleBits logo. Not only did they sell it as their own, but they actually threatened to sue Dan for stealing their logo. Hahaha, the nerve — excuse me while I go take a breath.

Head over to Daring Fireball for more info, and spread the anti-ripoff love!

Smashing Magazine and NavBars

So, MacRabbit’s top navigation has been featured on Smashing Magazine. Awesome!

However, all 53 of those sites spent days/weeks/months tweaking their design to get the unique feel they have now. That’s why it’s Not Nice to blatantly steal copyrighted works, as is happening over at Peerplay. Feel free to see how the MacRabbit navigation bar ticks (advertisement: try CSSEdit’s Extract command!), but do not steal the design!
