Recently, "Dalian Release" announced the final award-winning results of the "First Dalian Cultural Creativity and Tourist Souvenir Competition", which covers a series of cultural and creative designs such as LOGO, postcards, packaging design, and ipad covers.
Among them, a work named "Dalian City LOGO" won the first prize in the "LOGO Design Category". But was angry by netizens: Bumped into Disney!
According to the official picture of the work, the award-winning Dalian city LOGO consists of three parts: graphics, Chinese characters of Dalian, pinyin "DaLian, Dalian" and Slogan: "Romantic City⋅Fashionable Dalian".
Among them, the Chinese character "Dalian", Dalian Laotieshan Lighthouse, sea water, dolphins and other related elements are integrated in the graphics. According to the introduction, the combination of Chinese and English fonts combines the visual symbols and names of the city into one, and a few simple strokes can reflect the characteristics of the city.
At first glance, this LOGO does not seem to have too many problems, but on December 17, this work was pointed out by many professionals in the design circle as suspected of plagiarism - it uses the font shape of the Disney (Disney) wordmark, and Some design elements also copied the city logo image of Lianshui County, Huaian, Jiangsu.

At around 10 am on the 17th, Ye Genyou, a well-known calligrapher, also participated in the complaint through Weibo, saying, "'Dalian' has two Chinese fonts, 'Da' is Ye Genyou's running script (traditional), and 'Lian' is my Ye Genyou brush running script simplified, It's not authorized."
As the discussion on the Internet became more and more intense, some netizens reported that some of the fonts in the work "Dalian City LOGO" were directly used by the "Disney LOGO Font Converter" tool.
A reporter from China Youth Daily (ID: zqbcyol) searched and found a number of similar font conversion tools, most of which are free to use. After entering the word "dalian", they quickly got almost the same content as "Dalian City LOGO".

Not only that, more and more elements are pointed out by netizens as suspected plagiarism, including whale tails, lighthouses...
There are also many netizens on the Internet who have circled the official Disney and "Dalian Release" official platforms, hoping that the infringed party and the organizer can communicate in a timely manner and deal with the works suspected of plagiarism.
At present, the official WeChat and Weibo of "Published in Dalian" have not yet made a clear response, and only put a comment at the bottom of the tweet: "The various logos announced in the article are only award-winning works and have not been finalized. ”
In this regard, netizens said: This design is a bit too "casual"...
You may not know that Disney is not only a company involved in a wide range of fields, but also has always enjoyed the title of "copyright madman".
According to media reports, previously, the Chinese animation "Cars" was sued by Disney for 1.35 million yuan for allegedly plagiarizing Disney's "Cars". Some commentators ridiculed that the most effective way to survive on a deserted island is not to write SOS, but to draw Mickey Mouse, and Disney will find you in minutes.
