Coincidence or Plagiarism?

Here are illustrative examples of striking similarities between logos and names of firms, located in different parts of the world. With an exception of one case, I don’t know for sure, whether there have been plagiarizing designers or just a pure coincidence has taken place.

There is a telecommunications company Nursat (Kazakhstan), but another telecommunications company has basically the same name — Noorsat (Jordan).

Up to the summer of 2009, a large network of supermarkets in Kazakhstan was named Gros.

Surprisingly, there is another network of supermarkets in Italy with the same name — Gros (Gruppo Romano Supermercati).

“Хабар” (News), a Kazakh television channel, has the logo, which bears a resemblance to the logo of Telecom Italia or vice versa.

“Дала мен Қала” (The World and the City), a Kazakh newspaper, has the logo, which unmistakably resembles the logo of USA Today.
