It's not the same.

  There are minor differences, but the similarity is indeed striking.

    It's an anthropomorphized bao bun. How much variance can you expect? https://imgur.com/a/tNRuEpb https://imgur.com/a/tNRuEpb

  It looks extremely similar to me. I would not be pleased if I was behind Bun.
  - richbell 3y ago
    The only real similarity is that it's a bao bun with a face, which Bun didn't create the concept of.

    Who cares? It’s not like they’re in a remotely related niche. Nobody’s gonna confuse the two.

    Sounds like Bun chose a bad logo then. They're not going to own the concept of a bao bun with a face.

      What about the concept of a window? Can anyone own that? Or, a cat octopus? How about a discarded piece of fruit?

        There is nothing distinct about a window or piece of fruit. Obviously if you made an operating system called Windows and used a window as a logo that would be trademark violation, but there's nothing stopping me from opening John's Windows with the logo being a window.

        Sure, a trivial strawman example. But then, if you made not an OS but rather say, a search engine called “pane.io” and used a logo of a 4 pane window of different colors ? I am open to being wrong here but I doubt it would have gone smoothly.

They aren't. https://imgur.com/a/tNRuEpb https://imgur.com/a/tNRuEpb But how much variance can you reasonably expect from a logo based on an anthropomorphized bao bun?

  Maybe bao in a steamer. If the boa are the secrets the steamer is the vault.

    > If the boa are the secrets the steamer is the vault I think the inside of the bao is the secret, and the bao is the vault.

  > how much variance can you reasonably expect from a logo based on an anthropomorphized bao bun Agreed. Try this: do an image search for cute cartoon bao bun https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cute+cartoon+bao+bun&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cute+cartoon+bao+bun&iar=images&ia... There are, completely as expected, a bunch of different pictures that fundamentally look very similar.

  >But how much variance can you reasonably expect from a logo based on an anthropomorphized bao bun? Not much. But taking a similar logo from a current hot / hyped tech in a similar vertical just strike me as poor taste.

    Bun is kinda DOA last I was asked to evaluate it...

      How so?
