Not sure I want to downvote but I agree we get one from someone inside the community. I know @willsparks88 makes great stuff and there are probably others. Who made that freaking awesome mermaid sitting on a rock?
You want to flag a person who made a logo you wanna use 10 times per day for the next 500 days? and you offer zero in return ? ZERO ? Now you are outraged that the person claims copyright ? How old are you ? 12 ?
Rewarding creative work for a logodesign, specialy if you are going to use the winners creative work over and over and over again makes lot of sense. You want it for free ? This happens ! Rewarding someones creative work if I use it every day does NOT hurt and makes sense.
If there was conditions of use they should have been stated up front when THEY entered the competition - which offered no prize and made it very clear what the intended use of the design was going to be. I guarantee you 100% that the community would NOT have voted for the design.
To come back now and seek compensation after it's been accepted by the community and has been built up as a brand is incredibly poor form. Now that we've found out it was based off a stock image it's bordering plagiarism.
I make no apology for flagging this user. Welcome to anarchy.
@buggedout, lol I see you’ve already visited his page. Did you see he’s been called out by cheetah as well? Stealing artwork and not writing his own articles...
I am not surprised at all. Sometimes the worst thing people like this can do is draw attention to themselves. There is a lot of abuse that still happens right under our noses :(
