Dallas in Logo Showdown: City vs. Triple D Gear – Who Owns the Design?

The Logo Dispute

The city of Dallas is currently embroiled in a heated logo dispute with the clothing brand Triple D Gear. The contention arises from a strikingly similar logo that was trademarked by the apparel brand in 2014. The City of Dallas, having used its logo since 1972, argues that this similarity is likely to cause confusion and infringes upon its heritage identity.

Originality in Design

While there is no definitive method to design a logo, originality often plays a crucial role in the creative process. The question remains: was Triple D Gear's logo intentionally designed to evoke the City of Dallas' logo? With nearly identical design structures, the similarities are hard to ignore.
