    i hardly think the idea of an upsidedown V is "new", and using it is not really ripping someone off. good grief!

    I had a 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora at one time and everyone thought it was a Infinity because the logo was so similar.

    Seems like a good post to crosslink to that "Google" store. :p Or was that in some place else?

    There are only so many ways to design a logo, some will undoubtedly resemble others ~
