Reinds me of the mid 1970's "NBC" symbol "N" where they paid someone $500,000 to deign it only to find out that the Nebraska Educational TV system had one almost exactly like it and the designer was only paid a few dollars or none at all. Nebraska sued them for it and per agreement, NBC was allowed to use it but they put a peacock in front of the "N" and later phased the "N" out by the mid 1980's.
