App update went out yesterday, they added some QoL fixes due to the forced logo change.

 

[winjer]

Must be a slow week at the legal offices of Adobe.

 

[Dacvak]

Oh. So that’s why my icon changed.

Whatever.

 

[Kilau]

For comparison.

 

[FeralEcho]

Uh oh...no one tell Adobe about Konami

 

[FeralEcho]

For comparison.

Honestly this reminds me of Rockstar sueing Remedy for the letter R in the logo....

It's a fucking letter,maybe these companies should change their logo to E for Ego cuz they are so fucking full of themselves their ceos must bottle their own farts thinking they smell like roses when in fact it's bottled shit...

 

[intbal]

Their new design is the worst thing I've ever seen.
I hope they sue Caroline Moore for fraud.

 

[SaintALia]

For comparison.

Oh okay, so Adobe was completely justified in asking them to change it. With the passive aggressive 'summary' in the OP, I thought Adobe was overstepping, but nah, this is pretty blatant. Change the colour and it's the exact same thing.

 

[GHound]

For comparison.

This is the result of all these tech bros wanting their uninspired, flat, hyper simplistic logos.

 

[ManaByte]

Uh oh...no one tell Adobe about Konami

Konami is fucked.

So is the Verge:

What a garbage ass logo

 

[LordBritish]

They named their app after a major airline... I could come up with a better app name in 5 seconds..
Hmm

Xymox
IOTA
LAMBDA

5 seconds up

Yeah, they should have used normal delta symbol without the cut.

 

[cyberheater]

I can’t believe no one from Delta realised it looked exactly the same as Adobe.

 

[TheKratos]

That's quite blatant. Delta ain't using the delta symbol, latter doesn't have a cut.

 

[Robb]

For comparison.

Looking at this I definitely get it. Change the background from purple to red and you’d be able to fool people it was Adobe with their current design.

 

[Dorfdad]

What they need to do is make it work proper for iPad. All the other emulators have full screen but delta only allows iPhone upscale which looks bad on iPads

 

[mdkirby]

Why didn’t they just close the gap to fix this issue, it would make it an actual delta symbol, instead of the mess they seem to have made with their new one, which looks awful

iPad is coming.

Yeah what is the point. We used Delta because that is the name of our app. We had to change it, so we rotated the top half slightly so now it no longer looks like a Delta and says 'iS'.

 

[Dorfdad]

iPad is coming.

Thank goodness!!!

 

[SirTerry-T]

Adobe are in the right on this one...but their gripes are pretty ironic considering their recent AI push.

Adobe about to sue NIntendo

 

[xrnzaaas]

There are many shitty companies out there, Monster is always suing someone, Bethesda is ready to sue for using Scrolls in title, and so on. But yeah, in this case the company that was threatened with the lawsuit should've checked that a much biggger company has almost the same logo.

 

[Loomy]

Obligatory fuck Adobe, but they're in the right here.

 

[Hudo]

Adobe about to sue NIntendo

I bet Adobe's lawyers ain't got shit on Nintendo's, which is why that never happened.

 

[dottme]

Yep, the ultra simple logo tendencies we see now is starting to show its limitation. It’s much harder to differentiate from each other.

 

[DrFigs]

i thought the story was dumb, but then looking at the logo i get it. there are other ways you can draw the delta symbol without making it look like adobe.

 

[LordCBH]

For comparison.

Yeah I can see why adobe’s panties got twisted.

 

[IFireflyl]

Adobe about to sue NIntendo

Nah. You can't con a conman.

 

[Pakoe]

Adobe apps are my favorite to pirate, is what a friend of mine said.

 

[reinking]

Why not just lose the gap in delta? Seems like Adobe would not be able to sue for that.

 

[Hudo]

Why not just lose the gap in delta? Seems like Adobe would not be able to sue for that.

Probably because that gap symbolizes the enthusiasm, youth and dynamic optimism or some similar bullshit for which the designer charged >$20k.

Case in point: Paul Rand charged NeXT/Steve Jobs apparently $50k for one of the ugliest logos in computing.
(now watch how a horde of armchair design experts will tell me how dare I criticize the great Paul Rand)
But to be fair, Paul Rand also designed the IBM logo, which is iconic.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

New design is….an odd choice

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Oh okay, so Adobe was completely justified in asking them to change it. With the passive aggressive 'summary' in the OP, I thought Adobe was overstepping, but nah, this is pretty blatant. Change the colour and it's the exact same thing.

Except it’s literally the character for Greek letter “Delta”, which is the name of the product and isn’t the name of Adobe…

 

[Loomy]

I bet Adobe's lawyers ain't got shit on Nintendo's, which is why that never happened.

Not the same.
My guess is Adobe's gripe here was the fact that both of those logos would be in the App Store with very similar treatments.

Delta's been available for a few years now. It's not until they started charting in the App Store in the last month that Adobe decided it was a problem.

 

[Loomy]

Except it’s literally the character for Greek letter “Delta”, which is the name of the product and isn’t the name of Adobe…

Delta as it appears in the Greek alphabet has a closed bottom. This is stylized. A designers interpretation. Had Delta's original logo been the actual Greek Delta character, it would not be a problem.

There other companies named Delta with triangle logos. Some very similar to Adobe's logo. But they're not in the App Store, and they're not software companies, so Adobe doesn't care.

 

[Hudo]

I know. It was a joke.

 

[Loomy]

THEN WHERE'S THE FUNNY, HUDO?????

jk

 

[nikos]

They're actually way too similar. That's not a normal Delta, it's more like Lamda with the bottom being open.

I know the Greek alphabet. Refer to my username lol.

 

[Hudo]

jk

My first ex-girlfriend called me a bad joke as well.

 

[SaintALia]

It's a STYLISED version of the character for Delta. The character for the Greek letter Delta is just a triangle. Like Bojji said, they should have just used that. There are many different ways to use a stylised version of it, I'm not sure why they'd want to use that version for theirs and expect no pushback(especially for a company as famous as Adobe).

Like, yeah, I'm gonna make a Logo for my apple picking company, and it's a flat apple design right and has a single leaf sticking out, but to show how delicious my apples are, I'm gonna make it so that it has a single bite in it. I'm sure no other company will have issues with that.

Twice

 

[SJRB]

Sounds petty and childish at first but when you see them side by side Adobe kinda has a point.

 

[midnightAI]

I hope they sue Caroline Moore for fraud.

Adobe is worth like x4 of Nintendo's value so I guess they can afford just, if not better, legal team.
