A design that preceded a similar approach will generally receive the credit for that idea. You can't fault a logo for looking similar to another piece that comes "after" it. And since when did being recognizable have anything to do with being good? We all know Google, yet I don't see that on logo of the day. Honestly, your arguments are so ridiculous they are mind-boggling. Katie, design exists on a time-line. A design that preceded a similar approach will generally receive the credit for that idea.

This logo looks exactly like C&B, not the other way around. Design doesn't exist in a vacuum. Yes this is a nice logo, basic and clean, as far as that goes. But it *looks* just like someone else's logo - maybe even two other logos if you count UPS too. Therefore, it is not a good design.

Not only was Knoll established well before C&B and played an incomparably more important role in the history of modern design, it's also like saying that a Mercedes is not creative because it looks like a Chinese rip-off. Very smart and elegant design, btw. It’s quite ironic that this is being compared to the Crate&Barrel logo.

If you're sitting in a nice workspace, it's probably 25% likely that it's Knoll. I didn't know they gave gifts. Good logo.
