People are (at least) speculating that your logo is a copy of another well-known design company's - I'm not pointing a finger, but if I were your prospective clients I'd be very worried about this. The two logos are _extremely_ similar. I’m not sure that the lack of Gravatars should be your main concern, Henry.

I didn't have time to do much research between classes, so all I could find was the date for the Hicksdesign logo. I'll admit that they do look very similar, which is a little questionable.

Same shape and color interweaving, just a different color band configuration. Even so. If Mr. Hicks was an employee of Blue Source, and was responsible for the design, I question the appropriateness of repurposing a client project as one's self identity. I just have an uneasy feeling about this, considering I recognized the source inspiration so clearly.

Comments (http://bit.ly/vLbPN) ballpark Blue Source shutting their doors in early 2007. I think that's a little too close to call either way without actually talking to someone who was at Blue Source or some more research. Anyway, I love the vertical design of the card and sentence describing Hicksdesign's passions. And the ‘We ♥ Trees’ makes me smile.

Wonder if Hicks is an offshoot of Blue Source, or just horrible at trying to mimic.
