Earlier quoted context omitted.

The downward tilted silhouette of a face? I think the similarity is pretty apparent and thought the same thing when I saw it.

Reminded me more of the Jane Eyre 'silhouette' book cover: http://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/4722840-jane-eyre

fyi, that link redirects users to a signup page unless they're already logged into goodreads. (which I'm not, since I have no account there.)

GREAT. More than worth to share.

The cover of Chicago Tribune's Thursday edition of the Red Eye was strikingly similar to your design: http://www.poynter.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/redeye.gif

I can't imagine that they independently arrived at that cover without having seen this here first.

I just saw this in a (German) newspaper. Apparently Reuters picked it up.

I don't think it is the same: http://ow.ly/i/iHzx

(I don't know if they wanted to be funny or what but it's very crude and inappropriate to open with "iDeath" and that image).

I love the design. I took the liberty of using it in an iMovie project called "In Memory of Steve Jobs" that I wanted to post to the guys on HN, who I hope will appreciate it.

I guess there are several versions. I saw it here: http://www.taz.de/Kritischer-Nachruf-auf-Steve-Jobs/!79461/

Channel 4 News (UK) closed the story with this logo last night. They also closed by calling him the "insanely great Steve Jobs" which was nice.

Btw, congrats on the notoriety. I just saw your image on an NYT article.

That's awesome. Would love to know how that worked out for you.
