Movements + Moments: Fight for original rights.
Calling all original content creators to fight for your rights.
Capsule was robbed recently. The perp didn't break into our office or do any physical damage to our place of business. The perp did steal from Capsule by taking our original client work and attempting to sell it as his original work. If you're in design, you might have already heard about this individual. If not, be aware.
He is an original thief and a thief of originality.
And if you're wondering what this criminal act looks like, look with disgust below.
Prejean Creative is the original designer on each of these. Capsule is also fighting this exact form of criminal activity.
No matter if you're a private brand or a manufacturer brand, originality is not a place to compromise. If you're merely a copy of something else, be honest with yourself. Know that the length of your success is equal to how long you can stand imitating someone else's originality. For some, that's a lifetime. For others (those who design the original work), it's a slow death.
If you have used an online logo site (this one or any other), be aware of the potential for copyright infringement. Be aware, because damages do occur and the original designers will fight for their right. And we all know a bank robber's getaway driver is also going to pay a price.
Capsule would like to thank the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) for making us aware of this thief. We are proud to be a part of an industry which protects its own and knows right from wrong.
"The number one rule of thieves is that nothing is too small to steal." Jimmy Breslin
Don't be a thief. Be original. You'll sleep better at night.
