He now calls himself Diddy Dirty Money. That should tell us all we need to know.

"A woman has filed a $1 trillion lawsuit against Diddy (real name: Sean Combs), alleging that he caused 9/11, put her child in the hospital and stole a poker chip worth 100 zillions of dollars"

Let's assume that graphic design is the search for a visual solution to a problem. Perhaps there isn't always just one correct solution (as someone like Paul Rand would claim), but there are definitively incorrect solutions.
So if Designer #1 comes up with a design solution that is incorrect in the context of one design problem, but then Designer #2 "rips" that same design solution and correctly applies it to a different design problem, should Designer #1 just shut the hell up?
And should Designer #2 be given credit for being "smart" and providing his client with a good design solution? And ignore the fact that he committed plagiarism.
Likely this would be a rare case. But maybe there are cases where plagiarism is somewhat justifiable.

Look better and makes more sense to be on a t-shirt than on a poster for Yale.

The only reason to justify this obvious rip is if you yourself rip other people's work. Staying in denial eases the guilt.
It's a rip and if someone did that to me I'd fuckin' gut them or at the very least make them pay me for doing their creative thinking for them.

Whether the design is officially a logo or a font or something else isn't the issue. Every piece of artwork - movie, song, whatever - is all protected by copyright automatically. You don't need to do anything except have proof that you created it first.
The fact that he slightly modified a piece of work doesn't exempt him from being sued. Whether something is considered plagiarism isn't based on whether a single letter was changed or whether he used blue instead of black, it's a subjective legal decision decided by a judge.
A lot of the examples that were cited earlier as examples of how the system works probably do violate copyright. Campbell didn't originally object to the Warhol soup can painting, but they eventually obtained the rights to control how it's used. The Girl Talk albums were released on a label called Illegal Art as a reference to the fact that they broke copyright law. For that matter, there are probably more than a few albums at your local chain record store that are filled with uncleared samples. The issue is really whether anyone decides to enforce the law.
