Have a mint … or three
First, there was Mint, Shaun Inman’s web statistics package. Then there was Mint, online money management software. Which I guess is okay, since it’s a whole other thing, and it’s quite different except for being just as green. Well, actually the latter has quite a bit more green.
But then there’s Linux Mint, which is a whole lot closer to plagiarizing Inman’s Mint. The logo is very similar in shape and color, and the overall color scheme is pretty much identical, both the green and the dark gray.
It’s okay to be inspired by someone else’s design, but try and be a little original, why don’t you? Don’t steal both the name and the design.
