Blame the person who designed it perhaps. Either they are lazy or the DA is unoriginal, or trying to be sneaky. I don't know. It's not good. Looking at them side by side, the similarities are shockingly obvious! It's just annoying! I was behind a car with the Obama Campaign sticker on it and thought the logo was really familiar.

I have no problem with designers and people copying aspects and various things, because that is what "inspiration" is all about. I just think the high that Barack Obama and his campaign is on at the moment makes it harder for the DA's logo resemblance to go unnoticed. Niki,
