you've strategically hit upon the logo & icon portfolio and blog of UK logo designer Graham Smith — the original Logo Smith since '86.
Time to call out Ph0t0sh0pguy over on Freelancer.com for taking my PedalWorks logo, putting it in their own portfolio to pass of as their own work: simply calling it “work16″ as I guess calling it Pedalworks would be too obvious.
I’m particularly enthralled with this paragraph on their bio: “We are a branding, intellectual property and internet consultancy company that create and capture value for our clients by designing compelling brand propositions and experiences across all media applications.”
Maybe worth checking the rest of their porfolio for other cases of stolen work.
Thanks loads to Mindi for telling me about it in the first place.

intellectual is the keyword..
..been there before, one of my logos appeared on several sites and also printed, completely ripped off and even used as an International Hotel brand.
Effing moron.
Can’t get much lamer than that. Great logo, btw!
Looks like he caught wind and took the “portfolio” down…
Hell’s teeth that is poor. You need to ask them a few questions I think.
Goddamn thief; I wish I could reach out and jab the f*cker in the eye!
Wow. Have you contacted them to cease & desist?
I have noticed he has deleted the entire portfolio, so I am guessing yours wasn’t the only one that was copied.
A lot of the feedback he has gotten has been negative and his response was along the lines of ‘My account was suspended due to security reasons’ or I guess it was suspended until he took down all the material people had reported him of copying…
These days it is even easier to spot people who have copied you, and it is amazing with goggle image search how easy it is to check to see if anything of your own is up on other peoples portfolios. I have certainly found a couple of things of mine copied, and a quick note to the person to take it down has resulted in them removing the offending material.
@AndrewKelsall you can tell by his own logo that he doesn’t have enough taste to create this beautiful logo in the first place.
Shameless, calls himself a designer.
