This has been brought to our attention, but there's nothing to be worried about, because while some might see similarities the two are entirely different in colour tones, shape proportions, rotation and they both stand for entirely different things. Shazam's logo even applies gradients, which we don't.<BR>

There are many logos out there that look quite the same but are different. You can observe repeating patterns everywhere simply because people draw what they see. How many logos have you seen with the same animal, a car, a rectangle, a circle or any other geometric shape or pattern? <BR>

Everything is a remix of something.<BR>

Hi,
I have seen something similar to the proposed logo (or the last logo I saw).
It is some sort of music catching service called shazam [1]or similar. It is clearly very different thing to UG. But since things can happen the other way with names[2], I thought I'd mention it, just in case.
