second of all, they are not “Ripping Off” logos. if you knew anything about marketing and design, they are purposely using the look and feel of a companies logo to give the consumer a certain feeling.

Please understand that the purpose for these situations isn’t to “rip off” logos, but to give that sense of ‘parody’ to an already well established brand. The hundreds is a good example of this type of direction. They are on some occasions, homage’s to the original design and in other times, just for a humorous promotional purpose.

And this goes well beyond streetwear brands and apparel, i could list examples if you want.

I agree. A bunch of these Street wear brands seriously rip off great graphic identities in the guise of artistic appropriation. Take “Alife” for example, ripping off Life Magazine and Barbara Kruger in one swing. Great, 10 Deep is being funny ripping of Patagonia (http://www.boundlessny.com/clothing/10-deep/5238/sw-ridge-navigator). I don’t get this type of graphic appropriation. Although there is humor in it, can’t they come up with a better joke? Is the joke: Hey,remember pop art? Street wear is now pop art! Please, someone respond. Bash me even. I just don’t like the way these brands are going when it comes to ripping of logos.
