Hmm, fair enough. But that badge they used to compare... I was more reacting to this badge from the spine of the Agency Files...

...

Which, except from the little tab on the bottom of the Strontium Dog 'S', is bang on identical.

Hmmmmmm that is good. I think I punted it over to Rich Johnston for a Swipe File but with that other badge. I might give it another go with this.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Well I did send this over to Rich when it first popped up on here but did send it again thanks to the above post. However, Rich said someone else (someone a little more... important shall we say) had contacted him about it, presumably with the examples he used there. So they get the credit for that one.

Anyone can report such things on eBay, so if you spot anything like that then fire away. They also have a complete Megazine listing.

I assume you go for: Counterfeits and breach of copyright >> Bootleg and counterfeit media >> Media on recordable formats

There is a tonne of stuff although nothing seems a direct lift of 2000 AD art:

I am amused to see something I made there:

www.redbubble.com/people/maclac/t-shirts/7106050-rogue-trooper-nort-insignia

I made them for Wikipedia and they do appear to be those specific ones because the Souther arrow always annoyed me because it is slightly wonky:

Ta. Already noted and in hand, I believe.

I'd love one of those Souther insignia Tees on khaki though.

Well it might be time to lobby Rebellion for them. I have those insignia in a format that can easily be vectorised so they can be tidied up (and the Souther one made symmetrical), so it probably wouldn't require much effort for them to get the designs done...

The queer thing about rhe Super Dinosaur 'SD' swipe is that it would have taken less time to draw the letters than copy, paste and resize the Rebellion graphic for each panel.

I'm not sure anyone is saying the artist literally traced the logo every time it appears. That would be silly. The design is just oddly similar.

It's exactly the same graphic in each of the three panels shown in the above link.

Well, he's probably using a reusable vector graphic to save time in the digital finishing touches. Also to keep the logo consistent.

From the Red Bubble T-Shirt site I would say this image is a mish mash of The MacNeil droid and The Williams droid. Visor cross and nose don't marry up.
