It's quite similar - but the 'Incredibles' logo isn't an obscure identity that most people wouldn't have had exposure to. It's a very well known identity that almost everyone will have seen at one time or another.
Any member of the company could (and should) have called this out as a potential problem. I think that part of the benefit of working in a team, is the ability to make use of peer review. If you are being treated like a lone worker, it's probably a sign that the team structure in your company isn't working well.
I'd suggest to your superiors, that this kind of mistake is an understandable (and excusable) accident. We're exposed to a great number of visual identities on a daily basis, so it stands to reason that we are sometimes going to be influenced subconsciously.
The failing is on the part of the company, because peer review should be an integral part of the internal company workflow. Suggest ways that you can avoid this happening in the future, by changing the way the company operates.
If, after suggesting this, they are still being difficult - I'd consider the fact that they might be using this event as an excuse to gain leverage over you.
- the client probably chose the logo because of the similarity. not the other way round, they did call their company "remarkables" in the first placekingsteven
- The client's choice is not the issue .. the issue is risk of litigation.********
