Quark logos

People may already be aware that Quark went for a redesign of their logo a little while back, but they encountered problems when they found the design was just a little bit similar to the logo of the Scottish Arts Council... For a comparison of the two logos, have a look at this article at The Register.

Well, Quark were forced to go for another redesign of the logo, as a result. I've just noticed the new design:

Now, is it just me, or is this quite similar to the one for Sony Ericsson (albeit not as similar as the previous design was to the SAC logo)?

This one's been rumbling on for a while, now. I think that the problem is that "there's nothing new under the sun". Just about anything you design these days will look a bit like something else.

Why? just because they're both round and green?

Yes, ultimately the designer makes the difference, but designers all use the same tools (ie, Illustrator, etc) nowadays. In a sense, the designs mostly use the same bucket out of the water well. What do you think?
