    Funny thing, I never noticed the similarity between the two logos until this lawsuit came to light.

    Based on the age of the Rollergirls logo, I’ll give them a slight edge and chalk this up to the standard ‘We have to try to protect our logo’ thing.

    I understand Starbucks right and need to protect their copyrights and trademarks, but there’s a time and a place for everything and a big huge corporation going after a tiny organization that in no way, shape, or form competes with them just seems like a silly waste of time and money that in the end makes Starbucks look like a bunch of bullying thugs.

    Like Erin above, I never noticed the similarity until now. I don’t think the average person would.
