seven

Here's something for all of you to ponder.

In Malaysia, we have several TV stations established. We have government's broadcasting stations TV1 and TV2. We have privatized media group, Media Prima, who owns TV3, 8TV, ntv7 and tv9. And of course we have subscription-based media - Astro and MiTV.

Now, our focus here is on ntv7. Take a good look at ntv7's logo below:



When I first came across the World Section in TheStar news paper, something caught my eye...



It was this logo, in front of some American senate giving speeches. I thought I saw ntv7 logo there. But when I looked closer, I was lost. I didn't keep that piece of article. But this was definitely what I saw.

Both logos are referred from here and here respectively. (Source: Wikipedia.org)

How creative can the logo designer be? Or, he's just being smart?

How about infringement? Or borrowing idea? Or all news networks share the 'idea' when it comes to logo design?

What's your say?
