Email him, kindly ask him to take it down. If he ignores you, post the link here and make it public. No need to sling mud, just take it to him privately, then publicly if you don't get a response.

i agree, qbn participation is the very last resort. i wouldn't even link anything here yet. think of it like contacting thundercats. i mean do you really need them when you know they're just chilling.

is it in as a job he's done, or as the logo of a client he's done work for?
massive distinction, as the client holds the copyright on the actual use of teh logo to do its job of representing them.

if you work on the same team/in the same group it's legal.

trying to sort this out now.... before unleashing you guys. lol
i dont do too much design anymore but the logo was for a high profile marketer (I used to work with internet marketers) and they shouldn't be posting that shit. it probably gets them some work it shouldnt.
and their work is lame compared to the stuff we do.
- once you get it straight, let us know anyway. It's good to know where the leeches are.zenmasterfoo
- possibly they saw it, and forgot they saw it, and recreated it?magnificent_ruin

...that aint right. i would ask him whats up with that.

but is it a 'job', or does it represent work done for a client? ie, I may put the nike logo on my site, on teh work page, but it doesn't mean I designed the nike logo.
just seen a lot of folk on here jump to conclusions and wouldn't want the same to happen to you
- "people I have worked for" page, may be more accuratekelpie

link or it didn't happen
