The Controversy Surrounding Meghan Markle's Logo
Meghan Markle recently launched her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, but the emblem has drawn significant attention for its striking similarities to a historic coat of arms from a small town in Mallorca, Spain. This has sparked a fresh wave of creative controversy for the Duchess, following a rocky start for her brand.
A Troubled Debut
The brand initially faced challenges when its original name, 'American Riviera Orchard', was rejected for a trademark application due to inconsistencies in the handwritten calligraphic wordmark. This led to a redesign that now faces criticism for resembling the emblem of Porreres, a town in Mallorca.
The Importance of Originality in Design
While there is no single correct method to design a logo, creating an original emblem is crucial for establishing a strong brand identity and avoiding disputes. The similarities between Markle's logo and the town's coat of arms highlight the importance of unique design elements in branding.
