CySEC copy-paste logo design continues

A while back I blogged about Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission website using a copy-paste design of the logo from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.  Since then, CySEC website got a new look and feel, as well as a new logo.  Well, it looks like they haven’t really solved the problem of the copy-paste.  Have a look yourself.  Here’s the updated CySEC logo from their current website:

And here is the logo from the Money Project:

Arguably, not exactly a copy-paste like before, but way too similar not to fall into the plagiarism, which is just a fancy word for the copy-paste.

Adobe Color CC – Color Schemes Tool

adobe color cc

If you are not a graphics or web designer by trade, but do have an occasional need for a color scheme that just works, Adobe Color CC is the tool just for you.  It’s web-based – so there is no need to install anything, it’s free, and it’s super easy to use.  It supports a variety of color rules – analogous, monochromatic, triad, complimentary, compound, and shades – just pick one, and drag the markers around the color circle, until you are happy.

I’ve seen and used a bunch of similar tools, but I think this one works the best of them all.
