Complete Side by Side Comparison TLDR: Noun Project vs Layer Vault vs Flat UI http://imgur.com/IH1osAD If anyone notice other similar icons, I can update image with side by side comparison. Thanks to fellow HNers for the links to the images. I just stuck it all together side by side. Edit: Updated with more samples.
For the lazy, here's a summary of the claims that LV/DN is making: Some icons appear to be heavily inspired by LV. Here are three icons (circled) from Flat-UI: http://i.imgur.com/xDDULcG.png You can see that the gears and news icons do bear some similarity to LV's versions: http://dribbble.com/shots/800428-LayerVault-icon-set-for-del... and http://imgur.com/rli5IVU (the latter via http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

Damn.. I think I'll send myself a DMCA notice, post it on HN and get lots of traffic and noise around my brand
this is not good noise :/
I'm not a massive fan of the most of the responses in this thread. Any designer would look at Flat UI and immediately realize that they drew inspiration from LayerVault. The similarities aren't minor, in either style, tone, or techniques. The three icons DesignModo removed were the most obvious offenders. And by obvious, I mean, "Yeah, you completely ripped those". So DesignModo has absolutely no right, in any sense,…
Why don't we, as a community, collectively agree to boycott copyright trolls? (and teach them a lesson in the process) esp. when the target audience consists of developers/designers EDIT: I tried to cross-post this on Designer News, but it turns out they're invite-only. Can someone do me the honour?
We might want to see if they're actually trolls first. While I know it's pretty de rigueur on HN to assume that anyone who issues a DMCA takedown is evil/a troll/an idiot who doesn't understand the internet, it doesn't mean that some of them aren't being filed because their copyright is actually being violated. Until there's more evidence either from LayerVault that DesignModo has used their assets, or from DesignMod…

The color schemes of LayerVault and FlatUI are also almost identical. http://pixxel.co/feed/layervault-issues-dmca-takedown
That's not a copyright violation.

That looks pretty much open and shut, as if using a vague DMCA in itself wasn't already enough of a hint. It's not even a rip-off. The basic pattern for the icons is insanely generic, and the execution is clearly different. The color scheme is a very common one. It bears a resemblance as much as one black leather shoe bears a resemblance to another black leather shoe. It's not even worth making a passing remark about…

Here are the icons in question. http://i.imgur.com/xDDULcG.png Also, the Flat-UI guy also copied other artists on dribbble. http://cl.ly/image/3Q181w0b1u2K From http://drbl.in/eXkk , and http://drbl.in/gmsD I'm not saying these are in copyright violation, merely examples he has copied prior work.

I guess pg should send a DMCA takedown notice to them, then.
