slimCODE, aka Martin Plante

Someone copied my company's logo!

This morning, my Google alerts pointed me to this page, a Russian web site talking about a product called SLIMCODE. Google Translate tells me it's a box of capsules for a weight loss program. I'm fine with that. It's normal, on this planet, to have some name collisions, as long as the domains of business are different.

Where it hurts a little is the logo on that box:

"SLIM" is in a normal weight, "CODE" is in bold and uppercase. The only difference with my logo is "slim" in lowercase for mine. But the concept of "slim" versus "bold" is the same.

But don't worry. I may look mad, but I'm laughing about this. I'm sure the person who made that logo had no idea a software company existed with that name and similar logo, right? Right? Am I naïve?

At least I'm complaining about something more obvious than Apple vs GreeNYC!
