I donâ€™t think theyâ€™re too similar at all. I do agree that they could have made a better font choice though.

[...] Ahsan at the Barely Average Blog is wondering about two logos being very similar (sitemeter and cisco). [...]

Hi Tara,

All I could see was the finger when I went over to the More 4 site!

Hi Randa,

Thanks for posting. Even if they left Myriad alone and just reduced the size of the text, they’d be better off.

LaurenMarie,

I guess the designer did his job well, if you saw the bridge without knowing the intent of the logo!

The logo before the current one is on the left:

There’s a pretty good interview with the designer at Speak Up. Definitely worth a read.

I didn’t even know about the Golden Gate Bridge image that Cisco was going for, but that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it (making it RED would’ve been even more of a clue!). The Sitemeter logo looks more like an equalizer readout to me. I understand that it’s supposed to be a graph, but only because of the company name. I definitely agree with the blah use of typography with their logo. Haha, Tara, I agree with your rude hand gesture assessment of the More 4 logo.

The sitemeter logo also looks a bit like a logo I have seen on TV over in the UK More 4 Whenever I see it – the More 4 logo it reminds me of a rude hand gesture (maybe that’s just me )
