This WAS supposed to be a fun community design contest, Im quite sure the CHs @ 99d are now regretting it.
They did this more as a valid point to Gap that the new logo sux and we/the designers at 99d can do WAY better, and, if some small chance one of the said designers gets picked by Gap, then its a positive exposure for both 99d AND the designer, so no one will lose out financially.
As per copying... well hands up all those out there with the same programs with the same fonts... geez lighten up, did I mention it was SUPPOSED to be FUN!
I commend the CHs @ 99d for their patience/tolerence and for not pulling the contest already and spending the $500 that THEY put up for this said FUN contest on headache pills!

Just saying :) HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE.
