Kanye West Accused of Copying Walmart’s Design

Kanye West  In hot water with Walmart  for releasing a proposed logo design that the retailer says is similar to the company’s own logo.

Walmart  filed a notice of opposition on April 21 to the US Patent and Trademark Office, challenging a logo trademark application that was submitted by Kanye West’s  apparel brand, Yeezy. “Walmart believes the logo design depicted in the Yeezy Application is confusingly similar to Walmart’s well-known spark logo design,” according to CNN Business.

Both logos resemble a sun: Walmart’s logo has thick lines that look like sun rays and Yeezy’s proposed logo has lines made up of a set of dots that also resemble sunlight.
