I wonder if they know their logo is also the Ionic logo?
- willwhitney 11y agoShit, really? <Googles> Huh. I just banged this out in ten minutes when I needed an icon for autocomplete. I'll change it.
- gabeio 11y agoI feel like it's not/shouldn't be possible to copyright/trademark/etc an element/element's atomic structure unless it's man made.
- joshuapants 11y agoRegardless of whether that's the case, it's probably best to avoid having a logo that looks very similar to another, if only to avoid confusion. That said, the atomic structure isn't the concern but rather a specific artistic visualization of it which may be protected.
- zyxley 11y agoBut the copyright (if there is one in this case) isn't on the element, it's on the specific visual interpretation of it for branding purposes.
- gabeio 11y agoI still feel like that's basically "copyrighting"/or otherwise the atomic structure of the element...
- weego 11y agoA filled circle with a ring round it that has an intersecting filled circle is not an accurate representation of how a hydrogen atom looks. It is an artistic simplification. There are any number of ways of interpreting it.
