LOL i sent this thread + responds up to now, to those guys who run the jewel store/website they had a hotmail account and since you said there are only 5 of them it was easier for me to get a response with "Thank you." LOL

dude, i hope they don't pay you...always sign contract (for anyone who really cares) and get $$$ upfront...
i mean, no hard feelings or anything, but pollution of NT is just not my cup of tea...

if anyone is interested, the price for a comprehensive logo back in 91 for a small company set by the Graphic Artists Guild was 30k.
Granted logos arent worth that much anymore since we have all started selling our talents short. But in that same realm I believe the cost of a logo for a large company was half a mil.
Wout...face it yeah they probably took your initial concept but the final logo was much better executed. You did something in your logos that I think probably helped get them in the garbage before they were even turned down...the cheesy asian accents. We've all been fucked before, here's what you do...look at the things that you did wrong, vow never to do them again and move on. If it were a blatant rip I would think you have a case, but if you are thinking that flipped B's and a reference to a 2 warrants you a case for a company called Buddha to Buddha then go for it.

I can't see how you have a case. Without reading all the posts, you have to establish a connection that shows that they would have seen your logo's to copy them.
Independantly coming up with a similar idea is fine, and perfectly legal, not to mention common.

You're wasting your time trying to get money out of them - you have no contract, they never promised to pay you anything and the designs aren't the same anyway. Lame. Case closed.
