Here you may see there is a logo similar to the logo of your company, such as passing the same, so it makes you feel wonder, why can the exact same logo, and the question arises, whether my company logo has been imitated by others, or perhaps a logo that has been used is the result of imitation.

Some of the questions above might be true and might well prove to be wrong, because the similarity of concepts and forms or symbols are used for the logo that you see here is more frequent in the design contest or results of 1 to 1 project but using a source of inspiration to the generic concept.

In the logo design contest you will see a lot of logos using the same basic concept but with a different execution, below are some of the factors that led to design a logo the same or similar and often occur in every logo design contest, such as:

1. Description of the desired design specifications
In any contest design, Design Brief is made by Contest Holder.
design brief will explain in more detail about all desired by the contest holder, ranging from color combination, font, design composition, the size of the design, design aspects to the desired style logo design.
The ability to make a description of each holder of the contest will certainly be different with the other holders of the contest, some of those who have high artistic taste will be different from those ordinary art flavor.

Their interpretation will determine the type and character design as what they will get later. Therefore the interpretation presented in the design brief is essential.

Not only interpretation, firmness to make the contest holder will determine the rules, the contest holder must specify explicitly that it will not accept any design that uses the same concept or not the original, so designers will be more careful and work hard to create a design that new and original.


2. Rating Design
Design with the highest score will always be an inspiration and a barometer for all the participants / designer, except those who have a more professional working principle of course they will continue to create designs as creative characters and their respective expertise.
But that will not happen if the contest holder set rules as described above before.


3.Orientation.
Designer is a man who has experience of what they see and hear during their career, this is a reasonable and humane reasons, for example to design a logo for a company vehicle designers will look for and think about anything relating to the vehicle, or they may be directly illustrate a car, this is a middle way that is easy and safe, and this is a general orientation which is also a contributing factor to design a logo that is similar to many like to use the same concept.

There are many other factors that lead to design a logo to be similar to each other so that in the category of overdone and overused logo design,
therefore, if by chance you're looking for a new logo, a unique and original for your company, you should make a more detailed description and assertive.

Even more important is, do the comparisons and check the authenticity of the logo is certainty before you decide to buy and use them.


4.Knowledge and Information About logo
Lack of knowledge and information held by the contest holder often make sad a professional designer who has been trying hard to create new and original logo.Lack of information and knowledge for the case study contest holder owned, often choose a logo that only looks good,when the logo is a concept that has been widely and often used by other companies before.Maybe this is not a problem if it is true they are just looking for a sober logo, logo general form, does not have a strong character and emblem.But this will be a big problem, if in fact it is not that they are looking for, at the time they probably do not have much free time to take care of this problem.My advice: You as the holder of the contest, take time to find a lot of information on Google, as an example: if the logo you want to use your initials letters ABC please try to type in the search engines Google, 
like this:ABC logo,
Another example for a real estate logo, you can type in the search engines Google, 
like this: real estate logo,
just like that, then you will see thousands and even more types of logos by using a similar concept to one another.

For example, below are some logo design with form and concept that is overdone and overused logo design in the logo design contest.



A. Logo two color circle shape

Examples of the above logo is a circle drawn face but different sizes, the logo with a circle like it has a wider range of uses, almost reaching all areas of business, corporate or company services and industry. Because character shape looks simple and neutral, therefore the logo with a style like this often get the highest score even many well chosen as the winner.
To you who are love the style of the logo like this, please be careful, because the logo is overdone and overused.

  B. Logo square shape

Logo by geometric shapes such as boxes have almost the same characteristics as a circle, has a wider range, but more commonly used types of advertising business, interior design, construction design, real estate, business and consulting, financial consulting or marketing. This is also the same as the overdone and overused logo design concept.

C. Logo with V-Man shape

Already familiar, human shape symbol with gender neutral until now is still a symbol of a more likeable. Over and over again offered in a variety of shapes and sizes.
V-man appearing in the composition of a group, to symbolize the social environment, family members, or consulting family problems.
Ranging from the size of the child and adult sizes. This logo design is often used for health clinics, social media and business oriented human services.
If you choose this as a logo then you should be ready if one day met with the logos of other similar companies.
because the logo is overdone and overused.

D. Logo Real Estate and building shape

This is often used by those who run the business of housing, apartment, building construction, home loans, interior design and other related businesses. The message conveyed through the logo more easily and quickly accepted. but if there is no other form can symbolize the business. Should think well before you choose a logo with a style like this,
because the logo is super overdone and overused.....!!

  D. Logo grafic chart
overused grafic chart logo

Very boring like the concept of v-man, still much preferred until now, the logo with a style like this is often used by those who run the business and consultancy, marketing solutions, marketing strategy, accounting, financial planning, management, business strategy.
Logo concept like this is not the original and weak, overdone and overused logo design, does not have the characteristics of a strong, before you choose this style as a symbol of the company you should consider first,
